"so close to landing"


june 8th

Recieved word from the temoprary grave.  STOP.  AL LAUGHLIN is STILL at the prision reception center in Denver.  STOP.  Very unusual to languish there for so long.  STOP.

Did he mention an interesting thing?  STOP.  Why, yes, as a matter of fact he did.  STOP.

(Morty the mortuary pie giggling on a shelf somewhere over this item.)

And the envelope please...written real small at the end of his note he writes:

"Oh, my friend Gully, who used to work at the Fox Theatre as a bouncer, and who was at that party near Ramsillica blew his head off in Houston.  First shot his wife."

So now we have someone placed very near the Ramsey house ON the night in question who LATER did actually go on to commit murder and suicide.  "Your Honor, I rest my case--the Ramsey's can't be proven guilty so gimme gimme gimme some MUNNAYYY.

I told you ALL ALONG jameson.  (Eh eh eh).

Whatever.

But if anyone is interested in that sort of reasoning I'm sure you can find mention of it if you scan the Houston papers of probably April '99.  There was a small mention of it in WESTWORD's Backbeat/Feedback column by M. Roberts in maybe early May '99--but I didn't know he was a THE PARTY so it passed by without memory much.

Digg you nutz, digg!

Beyond that Al wrote that he was mailing the letter he sent me on May 17th--but it didn't get postmarked 'till June 4th.  He said it was the first envelope he'd gotted ahold of the whole time.  He really is languishing in a place of bizzarre restrictions not at all commensurate with his crime.

What else.  Oh--here's a real knee slapper.  James Jones my neithbor/molestar asked me to get Al to make an autograph for his stepdaughter--you know--the one he pled guilty to molesting.  Les wheels on les bus.....
