He told how he had fought with Elas, as commander of the Firs

Battalion of the 15th Regiment, during the occupation, and how, after the rebellion of the winter of 1944, he had fed, with scores of other Elasites, across the border into A1- banin.

From Albonin he was passed by the Communist organisation to the training camp for Greek guerilles near Novisad. On October 4 last, Konotopanes' training was finished and he was sent over the border into Greece.

On October 16, he led his band in an attack on the village of Py- rosanni, where, after a four-hour battle, the small police post was overwhelmed and slaughtered.

But something began to stir in Capitanios Annivas' heart. He found that the propaganda on which he had been fed was false. The army

was not in revoll; the villagers were not friendly, except through fear.

One night Cupitonios Annivas hid from his company in a ditch, and when next morning, an army patrol passed by, he aurrendered himself. THE BANDIT
