We left for Mexico just after lunch and didn’t stop until we got to Mexico about 4:30. They took me home and went to the Danky. Carsey called about 7:30 to say he was in the police station!! Tony had been arrested and he and Emma Lou were there as witnesses. He told me a story (police and Tony) they had fixed up to save Tony so that I could tell it if called! Was I scared! I went to the hotel to stay with Martha and Betty and at about 9:45 or 10 they came home! I was so relieved I almost cried – Carsey evidently had saved the situation and I was glad he could help. Hope that is the last of it.
