the marriage register in Boston, which
recltes the union on October of last
year of Roy and Glacia Gala was due
to the TACT that Roy could not make

er will he make any Statements regard

she called her aunt. Her musical stud

was Paul Roy, and toward the end of
her stay he was recognized as her fa3
vorite suitor. Goron desires to have 1t
made clear that when he first began

ing Roy's return to France neither he
nor the family knew that Roy had kill
