Siam: A Gangster Came to See Kenneth

Siam: A Gangster Came to See Kenneth

Kenneth was in a chapel when a gangster came in to see him, along with two companions. He looked like a coolie but he seemed educated. He told his story to Kenneth, how he ruined his life as a spoiled child of a wealthy father. He worked in a rice mill and lived a wicked life. He apparently came to see Kenneth to confess what he had done and take a burden off his conscience.
