"Bolin used every effort to stop the
car and succeeded in getting his car IN
"a position where the left fender just
brushed the clothes of the man.
81 braced myself in the seat and
called out, My God, man, look out!'
at the same time putting one foot
on the running board, reached out
with the idea of preventing the man
from falling as l thought the car was
surely going to hit him.
The car was still moving and as
my arm was extended to save him his
body came in contact with my arm be-
tween the wrist and the elbow, and he
slipped or fell to the ground.
THE car had not stopped at any
time.
81 then imagined from the pain in
my arm that perhaps he was hurt and
said, Boys, we had better stop.
Someone in the car said, No, WHAT
the use. He's not hurt. He only fell
down, or something like that. l still
insisted On it.
I'VE continued on our way to the
Buckle residence.
Immediately on arrival l ordered
Bolin to go right back and see If the
man was hurt, and If he was to take
him right up to the hospital immedi-
ately.
"Bolin went back and as l under
stand from him, picked the man up
and reported to Fred Wright, who I
believe was on the beat.
Then Bolin returned and reported
to us that the man was dead.
I'VE then went to town, and meet
ing special police officer, accompa.
MED him to the police station.
when we got down there neither
the sheriff, the deputy sheriff nor Nc
Dufie were there, so one of the Of
ficers telephoned for the deputy, who
said to let Bolin go and report at 8

81 met Chief McDufie and told him
the above story. l also met the sher-
if the following day and told him the
above story.

concerned, there is nothing in that.

evening. Walter Doyle who was in
the party, had not taken any liquor
So far as the condition of the others
and myself, the proprietor of the
Grill, from whose place | telephoned

not intoxicated.
THE whole idea was to take Mr..
Henderson, who is stranger here,
to luau, and we went from the Grill
to the place by the shortest possible
route.
There was no idea of joy ride or
anything else except to be at the luau
on time midnight.
