Mr. Gallagher,
Received a copy of your book just yesterday, so haven’t had a chance to read it yet. I purchased it because of an interest in the case having acquired considerable knowledge of Gladys and her escapades. Her 4th husband, Virgil Dill Warner, was my husband’s uncle. We have @ a dozen newspaper articles about her trial (one includes a photo of your grandfather but he’s turned away from the camera), a news clipping announcing/describing Gladys and Virgil’s wedding, and photos of the two of them in Westwood @ 1940-41. I’m eager to read your book and get your take on the whole thing. My personal opinion is that Gladys was a woman who constantly “traded up” as far as husbands were concerned. And she obviously had little conscience. when it came to getting what she wanted. I think she married Virg as her ticket out of Westwood. We’ve often said that we’re glad Uncle Virg got out of that deal else we might have never known him. I met Virg in 1968 and by that time he was a confirmed bachelor. I once asked my mother-in-law if he had ever been married. “Once. But she cheated on him and he divorced her. He’s never trusted women since.” I keep picturing Gladys’s story as a 1940’s film noir movie starring Dick Powell as the detective. She was a beautiful woman, after all.
Enough. Just thought I’d let you know that we’re very interested in your book.
