EDITOR, THE CITIZEN: I, along with other numerous ‘citizens of Key West, want to know why the facts of the Metz trial were not published in your paper. This is of public interest and de- mand-and the rumours of the case shall, continue unless the facts are presented to ease the citizen's minds, I along with other citizens de- mand that the newspaper publish ; ‘a-full account of the Metz trial. ! If the Key West Citizen is ‘ully able to publish ‘on the scene hap- | }penings,” why not then, “one the | scene results? : Respectfuily, (Miss) Naney J. Ross 621 Elizabeth St. ! (Editor’s Note: The Citizen, | along with other newspapers cov- | ering the Metz trial, maintained | the usual practice of eliminiating | testimony: pertaining to the actual , and alleged actions in this case. | As the majority of the testimony centered around criminal assault, | The Citizen did not deem it fit to {print in this publication that is available to the youth of the com- | munity. Thus, the actula nauseat- | ing testimony of the Metz case, was handled in such manner in keeping ‘with the traditions of aj; family newspaper).
