British girl(Continued from Page 1)they were publishedIt was a tall story and like any astuteEnglish lady I took it with a large pinch of salt.He again denied all my joking attempts toidentify him as a murderer, narcotics smuggler or recent version of the Boston Strangler.Yet he admired the cult of the loner, the social outcast. His voice was very low.It was the first time I felt fear, but like a fool 1 brushed it away. In the end I felt he was a lonely young man on a super ego trip, and was sorry for him.His manners were superb My wish was his command. Doors were opened, drinks were ordered We went wherever I wanted to go: Cape Canaveral, St. Augustine’s fort. He was proud of his America.How could I possibly know that the clothes which he looked after so carefully and displayed so proudly had allegedly been bought by his victims’ credit cards?He stayed at West Palm Beach when we arrived near Miami, but not at my hotel He met me at my hotel’s bar for several days. He even drove me in that supposedly stolen car, to an interview I had arranged with U.S.Atty. Gen. William Saxbe.I was preparing to return to London and had many other friends to see. So I left him in a bar and didn’t return his phone calls.It was at that bar that he met some friendsof mine who liked him and took him back to their hotel for a drink, and that was where he stayed that night.The next day he offered to drive my friend’s wife to the hairdresser and on the way attempted to rape her. She escaped, and from then on the gentle person who had carried my bags when we went shopping and had looked after my wallet so that it wouldn’t get stolen disappeared (he never took anything from me; it’s really extraordinary.)I reported his rape attempt to the police immediately, and identified him from a police photograph, since he had been convicted of several crimes beforeI feel simply terrible that I misjudged him so, but of course I’m relieved that he didn’t harm me. I was thinking of moving to the United States, but I see I have a great deal more to learn about America before I do that.
