stated that he desired to do him full justice
in the matter, and wished to get a statement
from him as TO his side of the case. The

Adlai called out three tines to go back, as
he did not want TO hurt MIN. They ran along
the sidewalk, across the street, and when
they got to tree near by, Adlai, seeing that
his life was in danger, pulled the pistol from
his pocket and shot Winberg in the chest,
near the neck. Alter he had fred the shot,
the wounded man threw the ak at him,
rushed forward, picked it up, and walking
