Transvestia

intention of accomplishing a lewd purpose, personify

a person other than himself to wit, a female person, a misdemeanor. It seems that Diana chose trial by jury and the beauty of it all was that the Municipal Court jury of six men and six women turned in a verdict of NOT guilty. The judge was so mad that he said, after dismissing the jury: "For the first time in its life the court does not thank the jury for its services." If it had been up to the judge, he would obviously have found her guilty and probably sent her to an insane asylumn, as has been done here in New York.

It seems that one of the National weeklies: the Star Chronicle decided to run an article on homosexuality and assigned a reporter for that job. The man contacted the Matt- achine Society and got from them all the material he needed. However, it seems that somewhere in the course of his research, he came upon the "dressing up" bit. He was promptly told by one of my friends at the Mattachine that he was dealing in this case with a completely different subject: that is, transvestism, and he promptly channeled the reporter to me. This

he did and when he found me willing to give him an interview, an entirely new article was conceived. He came to my apartment, met Susanna and talked with her for a solid hour...he ended the interview by taking a few pictures of his very willing subject... and promised he would send me the proofs before the article and the pictures were published. I hope he keeps his promise. I ought to know how much a reporter or his editor can do to distort statements made during an interview (I've committed that sin on occasion) and know that the shoe is on the other foot I'm keeping my fingers crossed. However, even if some distortion should occur, the important thing is that many "locked-room" TV's will see the article, and in all probability, will request my address from the Chronicle. I gave permission to the reporter to channel any and all inquiries directly to me. That's one way to reach the TV's who remain isolated still thinking that they are all alone with their "peculiar"
