"The betting odds in the Los Angeles saloons are 50 to 1 that she will either hang the jury or get a clean acquittal.... The local district attorney has the newspapers on his side, and during the progress of Aimee's hearing he filled one of them in the chivalrous Southern California manner, with denunciations of her. But Aimee herself has the radio.... Twice a day, week in and week out, she caresses the anthropoids of all that dusty, forbidding region with her evangelical coos. And twice a day she meets her lieges of Los Angeles face to face, and has at them with her lovely eyes, her mahogany hair, and her lascivious voice. It will be a hard job, indeed, to find twelve men good and true to send her to the hoosegow. Unless I err grievously, God is with her." -- H. L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, December 13, 1926
