Bonnie and Clyde page 1 by ric Gustafson


Bonnie Parker was typing a letter to Governor Sterling. In the letter, she was pleading to him to reduce the sentence of Clyde Barrow. She was doing this in the apartment of Clyde's parents. After she was done typing it, Clyde's mother signed it. Smiling, she walked out and began to walk toward the post office.
As she walked, she remembered the day she helped Clyde escape from prison. They caught him two weeks later. Because of the escape, he faced fourteen years instead of five. Bonnie could not imagine being gone from him that long. She was hoping that the letter would possibly pardon him or greatly reduce his time. Later, Bonnie received a letter stating that Clyde Barrow would be released on Feb 2 1932 with a conditional pardon.
