then stood to one side while the woman
thrust the weapon through the opening

she handed the revolver back to the man
an dthe two escaped in opposite direc-

According to the story, the man who
told it decided to inform the authorities
when his companion failed to turn over

For some reason this story was re-
garded by many official and unofficial
investigators as more worthy of credence
than any of the other wild stories which
have been drifting about Freeport ever
since the night of the shooting.
Il do not know whether to believe his
story or not" said the district attorney.
According to the story he told us the man
who carried the revolver is known in
