　　Now, it seems, my enemy has decided to reclaim his power over me. He has reported the crime and the erroneous imprisonment of my agent and named me as the person responsible for the offence. I had never changed my citizenship, so the F. B. I. wants me deported so they can prosecute me in New York.

　　I hope I can induce you, through your column, to tell my story. Next week I have to appear before a magistrate for the preliminary hearing.

My record as a good citizen may offset the perception that I may be a criminal. What do you think? Will you help?

　　Kate had listened to this synopsis in silence but her outrage was building. While his story seemed plausible, this plea for her assistance didnt quite fit.

My cardinal sin was allowing myself to be reeled in by your tales of what a model citizen you are.
