CHAPTER 15

JAY T. WILLIAMS DIDN’T waste any time; he got right to work collecting his own bastards. He gave a brief, light, friendly, concerned interview at Kennedy Airport while waiting for his flight to down-home. Listening to Jaytee, you’d think he was talking about another girl entirely: he was setting the new image of Kitty Keeler before the public and he was smart as hell and very persuasive. It would be up to Kitty to follow through; I think he’d convinced her it was necessary.

A feature article in the next morning’s Daily News quoted Jaytee as saying of Kitty Keeler, “Why, this girl has more guts than any man I’ve ever known. She been puttin’ on a front, actin’ out a role, and it’s cost her plenty to carry it off. She’d made a promise to herself that she wouldn’t break down in public. This kid’s got a sense of pride you wouldn’t believe. When I saw her in private, why, it’d like to tear your heart out, to see this, girl’s grief. She tole me, why, she nearly puts herself into a trance out in public, which is why you hardhearted s.o.b.’s been thinkin’ of her in all the wrong ways. Look, you know and I know, every person grieves in his or her own way. Hell, I’d sure hate to be expected to carry my grief out to the public, wouldn’t you?”

Relative to Kitty’s being in protective custody, Jaytee Williams commented as follows: “If that there Jerry Kelleher hadn’t come up with the idea hisself, I damn sure would have. Glad to see him takin’ a sensible line after all the hootin’ and nonsensical hollerin’ I seen him doin’ on the TV and in the papers. Fact of the matter is, they had this poor girl stuck in a dumb, unprotected motel out near this very airport, where every nut and screwball in the world coulda had at her. And I’m about to tell you this too, though Kitty herself will have a fit, should she read this interview. That girl is scared near to death—and rightly so, rightly so, what with the position she’s in. Now, I’m not sayin’ one way or t’other way, but you can all just figure it out for yourselves: any desperate sick-minded low-life that coulda done her little babies like they did, why, it wouldn’t be no more than whipped cream on a cake to them to do Kitty. She’s knowed that all along, but she’s been carryin’ her head high and you guys been callin’ down all kinds of things on her for it. The burden on this girl is mighty heavy enough without you fellas adding to it, and fair-minded that I’ve always known you all to be, I’m askin’ you all now to put yourselves in Kitty Keeler’s situation. And have a little compassion for what she’s been through. And a lot of admiration for how she’s handled things all by her lonesome. And be advised, gents and Jerry Kelleher, she ain’t by her lonesome no more.
