Gregoris, the Greek fruit man Of this city,
was held over 10 the grand jury at Perry
today on the charge OF murder, the accu-
sation being that he killed his cousin,
George Kolomokis, in the woods in Dallas
county, on May 1 last. The evidence
against Gregoris was considered pretty
strong at the time Of the murder, but
not quite sufficient for a conviction. He

an out-of-the-way place and could not
clearly account for all OF his actions, but
there was no direct evidence against
Gregoris. Both men formerly lived in Des
Moines and at one time lived in Lincoln.
and are well known among the large colony
Of Greeks living here. Gregoris. on the
stand today, denied in toto the story Of
the alleged confession and insists that II
is spitework on the part Of Jealous Greeks
in this city.
