Before she left with Clyde Barrow about two years ago she worked at a cafe. But she had to be laid off because she spent almost all her pay check feeding hungry bums who went into the place. Clyde was a nice bov at heart. After he got out of the penitentiary no came to my home to see Bonnie, Of course, Bonnie and Clyde had to shoot to protect themselves. They didn't kill intentionally.

At school her teachers frequently referred to her as a bright student. She liked to read, write and recite, and her ability at expression won her several prizes in school. She also won first place in a spelling contest among Dallas schools. Bonnie was always laughing. She went with Clyde because she loved him.
