"I have come t o t oe conclusion Iwas wrong.

his late 60's and his gnarled hands revealed tha t he made
living by hard wor k. He a gr ee d t ha t h e had done wrong
was sor ry for i t. Any such fine, however , was beyond his

Tuming to theman whose car he had so seriously damaged,
amerced one again expressed contri tion and said that while
had no i nsur ance , h e wou ld sur el y make good i f g iv en a

following day and t he cul pr it wou ld c all on Tue sday to
a method of payment.
The mechanics wanted $180 and the j ob wou ld t ake two

ekly. Also he offered to lend his car for the t ime needed for
repairs. but that didn'tprove to be necessary. He explained
day's work consisted of greas ing and washing cars. He
in a band-box house,on a small street in South Philadelphia
had a wif e who was a chr on ic i nvalid . Never th el es s, h e

Since the affair happened, he has come each Monday morn
with $50 in bills. So far $150 has been paid, which means
the bal ance o f $30 is expected on the coming Monday.
