moved to Georgia the year he began school， when his mother s
husband， number three of five， got a job in a mill there. Some of
the feeling you get from the resulting combination of accents is，

tried to note questions， interruptions and clear changes in emotion
that came through in his voice.
The police found him a particularly cooperative witness. He got

of himself as the victim of the woman he had murdered.
He had just come up from Florida， where he had a very young
(sixteen) and pregnant wife. There was a warrant out for his arrest
