From the Shelbyville Times Gazette and Associated Press, I give you two options.
The first are scans from the papers my mother kept, and they’re a little rough to read. Girl Gives Up Charade page 1 Charade page 2.
But here they are again all cleaned up: Girl Gives Up Charade page 1. Charade page 2.
And also from The Dallas Morning News Web of Deceit.
And finally, the Woman’s World article that sent Mittwede into paranoid convulsions in the chapter titled “Passport Services.” Counterfeit Countess.
