McReynolds. White and I went through the woods toward Mir. Tates house, for we wanted to telephone for more to get their car It seems that Me- Reynolds got lost from us. but found the others.
 POINTED TO MEN
 While I was phoning into headquar- ters, Joe Tate said, Wonder go some men, It was nearly dark, but we looked out there in front of the house them only by their bulk, but it looked like they were drilling, for they were walking in sheep fashion.
 "We thought that they might be col lege boys drilling or something, so got pretty close to them.
 q was about 20 feet from them when I hollered out. Hold on there g minute, boysi
 .sWho are you? somebody asked.
 "'We are deputy sheriffs,' White an swered was afraid they were coi- lege boys, you know interposed Dep uty White who seemed as composed and as placid as if he had never heard bullets meant for him sing in his ears.
 WHITE TELLS STORY
 "With this they started to spread out" said Deputy White. q knew something was up. Pretty soon Over ton started advancing toward McDuff and cut loose at him with his Win chester and moved closer, but shelter ing himself by tree. Latham. An drews and Frank Smith were aiming at me, while McDuff and Overton were to my right. They started firing at cracked Latham. This seemed to get Andrews and Smiths goat. for they ran away and fired as they went.
 q turned just in time to see Overton and McDuff in battle. It was for tunate. for I fired one shot and Over ton fell over face down. It pierced his heart.
 "When Overton fell Masena and Ma limo ran, shooting back at us. Just at that time Vines. McReynolds and Smithson came to aid us. We started after the dagos and chased them about 200 yards. Then they fortified them selves behind tree in briar patch, Pretty soon Tony Malino was hit. I suppose everybody must have hit him, Vines, Smithson. McDuff and myself, for he was shot four times.
 When the dago was shot, the others ran away"
 The deputies believe that the men did use an automobile to make their escape. Latham's statement that ne did not fire at them and begged them not to shoot him. they declare to be a ruse to save himself.
