Gleasons death entered the back OF
the left hip, penetrated II and went
through the forward part OF the right
thigh, nlcking the femoral artery,

was due TO loss OF blood Had those
who heard the shots hurried to the car
Immediately, there was prospect OF

taneous. In the opinion OF County
Physician Mayo, Gleason was strug-
Cling with his murderous assailant
when shot and lived porbably for Ave
or ten minutes.

hours after the shooting, AT no time

recovery. About s o'clock the dying
