Tavern
in North
Kansas City
for
an eye=opener,
after
which they
pro-
ceeded into Kansas City proper where
he
purchased some chlorophyll
and Clorets to
kill
the odor of liquor on BONNIE HEADY sbreath.
Hestated they rode around and looked over the French Institute
Notre
Damede Sion School, as he felt
that his plan was not fool-proof,
from the school without
sending BONNIE HEADY in through
