September 25th, 1967

Nathan & Michelle got busted. Nick called Mona from New York.

They made it to San Diego & the driver made good.

Then they sold the grass in L.A. & Nick flew to New York.

Nathan & Michelle driving the car to New York for Nick. Caught in Tucumcari, New Mexico.

Cops stopped them because they looked hip. Nick left 4 ounces in the trunk without telling them.

Somehow Nick was reached in New York & almost talked into coming clean, but a State narc convinced him that "two birds in Tucumcari are better than one in New York." So Nick bolted.

Nathan: "If you want to be hip, you have to give up your constitutional rights."

Nathan gets 2 years in New Mexico State Prison in exchange for Michelle's release. Mona leaves for New York, plans to live with Nick, work for him. I can’t believe it.
