Found on Newspapers.com

Kansas City, Sept. 3 (1934) -- The wife of Oklahoma's number one outlaw, Charles (Pretty Boy) Floyd, who was appearing in a Kansas city theater during this week in 1934, said she does not fear that her husband's affairs with other women ever will result in his being "Put on the spot" like one John Dillinger.

"He wouldn't make love to or become involved with anyone else, I know that," she asserted. She appeared far more willing to talk of her 9 year old son, Charles Dempsey Floyd, the image of his notorious father. Asked if her husband, the object of a long search by officers of the southwest, was in on the Kansas City union station massacre, Mrs. Floyd replied angrily, "I know he wasn't."
