the Mayor Of Duzesti recently gave Q
dinner in the City Hall In honor Of q
robber band. A few days ago IL
was announced that the two Greek
deputies Ghianussis and Had jigakis,
we're arrested on the charge OF being
professional robbers. The compla ut
against these two deputies Is q unique
document, reading as follows: Al
the beginning Of August 1892, Q

OF the Messrs X. Tsanaka and g.

that they facilitate as much as DOS.
sible the return OF the Greeks to
their native country. The soldiers
carried the wishes Of the deputies
10 the most friendly way and even
supplied the band with victuals
One night was passed on the Turkish
border. On the following night the
band with the prisoner proceeded to
the village Tcka. which belongs to
Deputy Ghinussis, where the deputy
and his two brothers, Constantin and
Alexander, awaited them. After =
short rest the robbers took their
prisoner to the village Of Duzesti. On
Oct. 3 the two deputies, accom- panied
BY KristodolOs Dimakis. the Mayor OF
Kastanes, who was charged with the
pursuit Of the robbers. appeared Ia
Duzesti, where long conference
with the prisoner followed. It Waa
finally told him that he would be
held captive until his family sent q
certain ransom for him. This hap.
pened, In fact In November. The
money was divided among tho Two
deputies, the Mayor Of Kastanea and
