BY CLARA SMITH HAMON (Copyright, 1921, by United Press) RDMORE, Okla., March 18.—I start anew in life with the scar- let letter of shame branded on my breast. But I start with the determination to show the world that an erring woman can come back. It has been said that the world never forgives a woman who makes one mistake in life; that society will never take her back in the fold. if I believed that, the liberty given to me by the jury yesterday would not be sweet to me; it would be as bitter as hemlock. I know the world will sympathize with me, believing that I am a re- gencrated woman.
