head. “Oh, shoot! You have a temperature. You better get to bed. If you ain’t better in the morning I’ll call Doc Mines.”
So I am in the bedroom writing this letter, Mr. Marino, and I hope you will help me out. Like I said, I never ast no favors but this is special.
Mr. Marino, will you please go to the judge and tell him I have a change of heart and don’t want no probation? Tell him I want to pay my debt to society. Tell him I want to go to jail for three years, and for them to come and get me right away. Sincerely,
ANTHONY (Tough Tony) CORNARO.
P.S.—On my way to get a stamp for this I notice that I have some grey hairs, which is very unusual for a person going on seventeen. Please tell the judge I wouldn’t mind if they give me solitary confinement and that maybe it would help me pay my debt to society.
In haste, T.T.
