Description
Hours after Johnny Stompanato's death someone broke into his apartment. Letters which were published in the Herald Examiner five days after Johnny's death were among the items stolen. This telegram was found folded inside one of the letters to Stompanato. The postal mark apparently is Danish, but the message is romance in any language. These letters later proved damaging to Lana Turner's reputation.
