Clein replies that the grand jury cleared Kelly of one specific charge and not the Gehr and Reid (the polygraph technicians) charges. "This is the truth,' he says, we would not dare print it.'

If Sheriff Kelly did not make the admissions attributed to him, he should easily sue and collect. It does appear that these charges have been made previously and some what discredited. I hold no brief for Thomas Kelly, nor for the gutter sniping of Reubin J. Clein. It is of course ironic that 'Clean-out-the-perverts' Kelly should be charged with repeated homosexual acts, considering how little reason homo sexuals have to 'claim' him. Several readers have written One about Kelly's alleged well-known gay adventurings, and about alleged 'protection payments' by gay bars, but we had let it pass. (One had a brush with the Sheriff when he indignantly protested receiving One, though he or someone usin someone using his address had subscribed.)

His letter added, 'Miami is not required to provide a haven for the homosexuals and deviates of the nation.' Maybe not, in exactly that sense. But Miami or any other town must come to give fair, non-discriminatory treatment to those of its citizens (and visitors) who are homosexual, just as to other minorities punishing them, when they break laws that
