lots of dlferonco. I would not be
where I am today It I had did as iho
sherlf ask mo to, tho man that killed
George, is laughing at mo now. I
saved hint nud hang myself. I havo
got nobody to blame but myself. It
was Just a lot ot ignorants on my
part, the papers aro all tho tlm telling
about them to greeks, If you don't
know that I am not a greek, I will
toll you I am not a greek, but I am
not any butter. A Greek Is Just as

And my mother Is Spanish. I got
