Sorry for Relatives.
“Well wc all have our troubles"
he said calmly. “I've always had a
feeling that I'd get out. 1 haven’t
felt so very bad because I knew 1
wasn’t guilty. I've felt more sorry
for ray wife and my mother thnn for
myself. The humiliation was hard on
them.’’

working in a Cincinnati restaurant to
obtain funds to be expended in an
effort to free her husband.
