I've know positively, however. that
the motorcycle came from the direction
OF the murder scene"
Speaking Of motorcycles. step out TO
my hencoop a minute" the chief con

guard for Brown is supposed to have
operated the machine.

heved. the chief told of rehearsal Of
their escape When they were being
taken in an automobile from Provi-

just how they got under the barbed
wire fence. pulled the motorcycle out
Of the woods and escaped around Echo
Lake into the Nayatt road. They went
through this rehearsal voluntarily"
said Robbins.

solutely with the murder They Will
never prove an alibi'
And how about Mrs. Mohr 80
