Oh yes, I know what the test results will be when carried out by these persons. But I also know what the results will be when they are carried out by other persons. Am I clairvoyant? No, just realistic. I know that I'm innocent, and I know that this is a big conspiracy to eliminate me.

Now Cassie, the whole world is not out to get you.

You really need to simply accept the true facts here, save everyone a lot of embarrassment and trouble. It will go easier on your if you simply fess up. I have spoken with the D.A. and he assured me if you accept his plea bargain offer, he will not take Mrs. Johnson's home. Think about someone else other than yourself for once.

[Beaux McManus]

Cassie....are you online?

I think that Mr. DeWitt and Mr. Hutchins might not be like the rest of the church folk. They're arranging for a Broadway part for me in NEW YORK!!!!

Listen to what they have to say and maybe they'll help you like they're helping me? It's a long story. but I'd still be careful around Pastor Zeke and Mr. Hold.

I have to go offline now because this is a dial-up connection and someone may be calling. But it looks like we might have some more options now!!

Call me at the number I gave you, if you get any phone priveledges!

Beaux, honestly, what's the matter with you? Don't you realize that this is just an attempt by DeWitt to get you out of town as soon as possible? You are one of the greatest opponents of Hold, and if you are gone, we are losing one of our best men. It's just another trick by the LBC to manipulate the elections!

When the FPD questioned me, they asked a lot of questions about you. You clearly are next on their list. Do not trust them. And DeWitt and Hutchins both played key roles in my recent arrest, so they are allies of the LBC and the FPD. DeWitt spreads more lies about it than anyone else here.

And you are a homosexual. Do you really think that these men, who follow a religion that tells them to stone homosexuals, would do anything nice for you? Of course not. That Broadway talk of DeWitt is to lure you either away from Freehold or into a trap that will cost you your life. There have been disappearances of homosexuals in Freehold as long as people can remember. Do you remember Francis, the hairdresser at Sanctuary Road, who lived in Freehold up until five years ago? He left because Sayved offered to take him to Las Vegas, which had been his youth dream. Only Sayved returned, after a "grizzly bear ate Francis." Yes, that's right, a grizzly bear just outside of Vegas.

You should be very careful! Don't lose your head, Beaux!

Cassandra the offer I made to Beaux was genuine. I lived my hole life in New York and the Theater is a big part of it. While I do not think his sexural orientation is the best option, it is his choice. I will do my best to help the young lad, you never know, one day we might say I knew him when he was just a young pup in Freehold IA.

You have deeply offended me Cassandra, deeply. I have been in contact with Pastor Ezekiel ,and we is willing to sponsor you . I think we need to give this further consideration

This confirms what I have always thought, the hearts of Freehold people and the LBC are as big as the great outdoors.

Cassie, I want you to know, the authorities are planning to arrest Mrs. Johnson for aiding and abetting. As I understand it, they are planning to arrest her DURING Church services tomorrow, in front of the entire town. You must do what you can to avert this event from occurring. Stop being so selfish for one minute and think about kind, sweet, elderly Mrs. Johnson. I know she has a weak heart and would hate to see it be broken all because you are a dope fiend.

[James Dewitt]

Brother James it is a crying shame that Cassandra is willing to let that poor old lady take a fall for her, selfish just plain selfish. Ya know that's the problem with the youth of today they only think of themselves, where would we be if Jesus thought that way? I think I will pray that she comes to her senses.

[Beaux McManus]

Hey Cassie, you up? I feel really bad with something GOOD happening in my life while yours is going kind of BAD...this is kind of hard for me to wrie.

But I've checked it all out with the airlines, and the ticked to New York is REAL! It's all on the up-and-up!! So the long and the short of it (you know how I can go on!) is I really have to give Broadway my best shot now that the opportunity's here...this might not happen again! I mean, wow...who would have thought a big Broadway producer would have found the star of his next musical blockbuster in FREEHOLD, Iowa!??? How likely is that to happen again?? Maybe it's even a sign of some sort??? I don't know...have to keep packing

But I mentioned your concerns about Francis, from the Sanctuary Salon, and Mr. DeWitt checked with Sayved, and he got back to me and said Sayved said Francis is fine, and is actually WORKING ON THIS SHOW, TOO! Small world!!!! (The whole grissly bear thing was just so Francis' mom wouldn't feel he'd abandoned her.) So anyway, I'll have a lot of updates and good gossip from him for you when we talk next! Cool!

Don't be mad, Cassie. This little light of mine, I gotta let it shine, you know?

God, I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight! I'm kind of afraid to go to sleep because I don't want to oversleep in the morning, ha ha. Oh well, I can catch some shut-eye on the plane, tomorrow.

Gosh. Tomorrow, The First Day of The Rest of My Life.

I'll check in when I'm all settled in MANHATTAN (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

[Miss Cassandra]

Beaux, if you are still here, PLEASE read this!

James, I do not trust you, whatever you say. I'm fully aware of your role in framing me. I don't believe for a moment you are well-meaning to either Beaux or me. I don't know your exact plan, but I'm pretty sure it will be quite nasty.

You have deeply offended me Cassandra, deeply. I have been in contact with Pastor Ezekiel ,and we is willing to sponsor you . I think we need to give this further consideration

Oh, shut up about it. I'd rather slowly rot away the rest of my life in prison than having to have anything to do with that pervert.

Of course, I'm innocent, so I will get out of here anyway.

1. Mrs. Johnson will not go to church, after it has become clear what her role is in the Free Women For Freehold organization. In case you forgot, there is a sign "unsaved unwelcome" over the main entrance.
2. I can't avert this event by turning myself in in any way (if she really were guilty of anything, it should not matter if I did), and if I could, I wouldn't do it, because I'm simply not guilty of those charges. Mrs. Johnson wouldn't want me to throw away my life to save her.
3. Again, I do not trust you two in any way, and I will do nothing without consulting my lawyer, mrs. King.

Maybe it's even a sign of some sort??? I don't know...have to keep packing

And have you had contact with Broadway as well? Anyone can buy an airline ticket, especially wealthy shady businessmen like Dewitt. Please, check this first, I'm convinced that there is no offer from the Broadway Company.

After all, isn't it a little bit of a coincidence, right at the moment that you are here fulfilling a vital role as one of the most eloquent defenders of mr. King, an offer arrives that would get you away from Freehold, when you are most needed?

Add this to the fact that we already know that Dewitt is capable of plotting elaborate schemes together with Hold and the church officials, and it's hard to believe that this wouldn't be a set-up in some way.

But I mentioned your concerns about Francis, from the Sanctuary Salon, and Mr. DeWitt checked with Sayved, and he got back to me and said Sayved said Francis is fine, and is actually WORKING ON THIS SHOW, TOO! Small world!!!! (The whole grissly bear thing was just so Francis' mom wouldn't feel he'd abandoned her.) So anyway, I'll have a lot of updates and good gossip from him for you when we talk next! Cool!

Beaux, THAT'S A LIE! There was a police investigation to the matter, and Sayved brought a shred of Francis' pants back, stained with blood. DNA analysis confirmed that it was Francis' blood! Remember, his best friends in Freehold couldn't contact him (including his boyfriend!). Why wouldn't he let them know, if something great like that happened?

Secondly, they went to Vegas. You go to New York. It's an amazing coincidence (again) that Francis would meet a guy from the Broadway company in Vegas, isn't it?

Thirdly, the world definitely isn't small. How big is the chance that both you and Francis would both encounter exactly the same very lucky offer? Very small. Add to that the fact that it happens right now at the height of election time, and there is no room for doubt anymore. They are trying to trick you!

Don't be mad, Cassie. This little light of mine, I gotta let it shine, you know?

God, I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight! I'm kind of afraid to go to sleep because I don't want to oversleep in the morning, ha ha. Oh well, I can catch some shut-eye on the plane, tomorrow.

Gosh. Tomorrow, The First Day of The Rest of My Life.

Beaux, we've known each other since we were kids. You always were a dreamer, and I remember the other kids telling you to go into the forest to find the pot of leprechaun gold at the end of the rainbow you just saw, or to collect dewdrops on leaves and use them to make jewels out of them for your mother. You tried both these things. Of course, that was years and years ago, but these people know that this happened as well, and are playing into it.

I know this is about the best thing that could happen to you, and I would really love to see these wonderful things happen to you, but that's part of the trick; of course the LBC and Dewitt want to make the offer irresistible. Don't let them fool you, before you leave Freehold, first check if the offer from Broadway is really there, and if Francis really works there. If both these things are true, than the offer might really be genuine. Though I would then still believe that the purpose of all this would be to get you out of the way here.

[James Dewitt]

Cassandra it is only a few more hours until church. How can you let this happen to a nice little old lady. How long do you think she will make it in the Big House a year maybe two? Jesus is watching and waiting for YOU to do the right thing.
In about 6 hrs Beaux will be heading to New York, you other friend Dick Weed is no where to be found . Tell me Cassy what has AL done to help you?

Shut up, you disgusting monkey. I will never, ever, look you in the face again, until you are convicted for what you have done. You should never have left New York.

DO NOT go dragging monkeys into this dispute. If it were not for primates millions of years ago YOU would not be here.

But neither would Jimmy Dewitt be here then. So I don't know how much respect they deserve.

I think you are missing the big picture. Natural selection is a completely random and arbitrary process. Your attempt to disparage another species on the basis of the behavior of an evolutionary descendant is uncalled for.

Mr. Dewitt is not the issue here, how ever his particular genetic line has evolved is not the issue either. You proclaim yourself to be open minded and progressive yet you drag innocent simians into your specious (at best) arguments.

Mr. Scopes, I never said anything about the general behaviour of monkeys. I didn't specify which part of his behaviour made him resemble a monkey. How, then, did you get the idea that I was "disparaging them?"

Mr. Dewitt is not the issue here, how ever his particular genetic line has evolved is not the issue either. You proclaim yourself to be open minded and progressive yet you drag innocent simians into your specious (at best) arguments.

Jimmy Dewitt is a major part of the issue here. You might want to read the thread title again.

I have nothing against monkeys or other primates. I never said I had. I have more urgent matters on my mind right now than pondering whether or not I like monkeys, if you don't mind.

I see. So it is OK for me to then refer to you as an air headed female. Or that your religious beliefs are based on primitive non-existent arboreal prehistorical beliefs ?

If so, then feel free to disparage monkeys by comparing them to some here.

Whatever. Though, of course, I would expect you, as someone who claims to value objectivity, to appreciate the fact that my head is filled with brains, not air. If it wasn't, then how can I possibly use my fingers to type?

Or that your religious beliefs are based on primitive non-existent arboreal prehistorical beliefs ?

How can a belief be nonexistant? If I believe something, then the beliefs exist. Of course, the objects of belief might not exist (though in my case, they certainly do).
