Dear Editor 

This is the zodiac speaking. 

In answer to your asking for 

more details about the good 

times I have had in Vallejo, 

I shall be very happy to 

supply even more material. 

By the way, are the police 

haveing a good time with the 

code? If not, tell them to cheer 

up; when they do crack it 

they will have me. 

On the 4th of July: 

I did not open the car door. The 

window was rolled down all ready. 

The boy was origionaly sitting in 

the frunt seat when I began 

fireing. When I fired the first 

shot at his head, he leaped 

backwards at the same time 

thus spoiling my aim. He end-

ed up on the back seat then 

the floor in back trashing out

very violently with his legs; 

thats how I shot him in the 

knee. I did not leave the cene 

of the killing with squealling 

tires + raceing engine as described 

in the Vallejo paper. I drove away 

quite slowly so as not to draw 

attention to my car. 

The man who told the police 

that my car was brown was a 

negro about 40-45 rather shabbly 

dressed. I was at this phone 

booth haveing some fun with the 

Vallejo cop when he was walking 

by. When I hung the phone up 

the dam x@ thing began to 

ring + that drew his attention 

to me + my car. 

Last Christmass 

In that epasode the police were 

wondering as to how I could 

shoot + hit my victoms in the 

dark. They did not openly state 

this, but implied this by saying 

it was a well lit night + i could 

see the silowets on the horizon. 

Bull Shit that area is srounded 

by high hills + trees. What I did 

was tape a small pencel flash

light to the barrel of my gun. 

If you notice, in the center 

of the beam of light if you aim 

it at a wall or celling you will 

see a black or darck spot in 

the center of the circle of 

light aprox 3 to 6 in. across. 

When taped to a gun barrel, 

the bullet will strike exactly 

in the center of the black 

dot in the light. All I had to do 

was spray them as if it was 

a water hose; there was no 

need to use the gun sights. 

I was not happy to see that I 

did not get frunt page cover=
