stumbled dazedly from the bedroom and with the older man made his way shakily downstairs.
    His employer was acting as if he were oblivious to the events that had occurred a few minutes earlier. The chunky businessman was already boasting that he had taken several courses in sex education and was so knowledgeable that he had written a book on the subject. Some people, he confided, were sexually stimulated by bondage, being tied with ropes and manacles of various types.
    Gacy offered to demonstrate. He explained that Tullery could better understand about bondage if he permitted himself to be chained. Unresisting, the boy put his hands behind his back and allowed Gacy to chain them together. Once his hands were securely manacled behind his back, Gacy pushed him onto a chair, then unsteadily climbed astraddle of him. Alarmed, Tullery jerked backward and Gacy toppled off.
    The boy said that he remembered being lifted roughly from the chair and half-carried, half-pushed up the stairs and back into the bedroom. Again he was shoved violently onto the bed, and from somewhere chains were produced and fastened around his legs.
    Moments later, Gacy's hands were around his neck, choking him. Tullery struggled momentarily, then slumped. As Gacy felt the body become limp under him, he removed his hands from around the youth's neck, lifted himself up, and unshackled his victim. Tullery left the house a few minutes later.
    Gacy was not charged with attacking the boy. The sodomy charge involved Mark Miller, another youth—who, according to court records, committed different deviate sex acts with Gacy in the late summer of 1967.
    Gacy denied to his wife that he had engaged in sexual relationships with boys. At one point, a court official said Gacy insisted on taking a lie detector test to prove his innocence. He failed it. Eventually he admitted to authorities that he had submitted to acts of oral sex with Miller, a sixteen-year-old West High School sophomore. Not surprisingly, Gacy's recollection of the incident differed from that of the boy.
    Gacy said he was driving with Miller in his car one day when he remarked that he had heard that the boy was known to perform fellatio. Miller admitted that he had, and offered to take care of Gacy for forty dollars. Gacy objected that the price was too high. They finally agreed to five dollars as a reasonable fee. He was nervous. Despite the boy's efforts, he couldn't maintain an erection and was unable to reach a climax. The youth was understanding and agreed to try again later for the same price.
    A few days later, Gacy told investigators, the boy came to his home on a Saturday morning and again performed fellatio. More comfortable in his home surroundings, this time Gacy was easily brought to a climax. He had oral sex with the boy once more the following month, Gacy said. He claimed that the youth approached him for a loan and at Gacy's suggestion again agreed to perform fellatio for five dollars.
    In another statement to authorities, Gacy described the offense as an experimental situation only, an act that happened only three times. Gacy said that he and his wife practiced mutual oral sex during their marriage. Attempts to talk with Mrs. Gacy and obtain either confirmation or denial "met with stiff resistance and no cooperation from the woman or her parents," Parole and Probation Officer Jack D. Harker reported to the court.
    Miller told the grand jury that he was forced to perform oral sex. Much later his statement mysteriously disappeared from the court files, although Tullery's statement was untouched.
    Regardless of whose version of the incidents police and the courts believed, Gacy was in serious trouble. At home, his heretofore solid marriage was wrecked. Newspaper stories and gossip about his troubles had shattered his reputation in the community, although a few loyal friends refused to believe the reports.
    Some of his friends accepted his claims that the accusations of the boys were part of
