Heard Shot While Waiting.

Heard Shot While Waiting.
While sitting there with the watch
man I heard one shot / then moved
to another office with the Waterman
which is in the front Of the building
After sitting there awhile / heard an
other shot and about fifteen minutes
later the third shot was fred. Each
time I went to the window to see if
anyone heard these shots. A few
minutes later Loveday and Dutch came
downstairs and told me that it was all
over and time to beat it. We told the
watchman to walk into the toilet, which
he did; we then tied him with shade
cords which were taken from the
shades in the office. After this was
finished we opened the basement door
with the watchman's keys, leaving by
this route.
Met Hansen at Street Corner.
After leaving the office we walked to
the Fischer Hotel to get our grips.
After getting the grips we walked over
then Dutch went into the Elite Candy
Kichen to telephone for taxi-cab.
Just as lie came out Of the store taxi
cab came along and we hailed it. jump
ed into this cab and told the driver to
drive us to railroad station. Loveday
asked the driver when we could get a
train and the driver mentioned GER
tain train but did not think that he
could make it. Then Loveday put a
gun on him and told him to stop. He
stopped as requested and Dutch took
the wheel with intentions of driving
to Chicago.
Then Gas Gave out.
He started down Sheridan Road.
When we got as far as the cemetery
Loveday asked the driver how much
gas he had. He said enough to go as
far as Zion City. We stopped the car
aud agreed to so back to some garage
for gas. The driver was ordered to take
the wheel again and drive to some ga
rage. He drove us to the Sheridan
Road garage and stopped in front Of
this garage The man in charge came
out and we told him we wanted gas.
Loveday, the driver, and myself got
out of the machine SO the seat could
be lifted to put the gas in the tank.
The driver went in front Of the machine
and pulled the choke stopping the engine.
Loveday Fired Fatal Shot.
He then went into the garage and
Loveday followed him, holding gun
at his back in such a manner that, it
was impossible for anyone to see it. !
stood outside on watch. l heard shot
and turned towards the door just as
the driver was coming out and Love
day in back of him. Loveday jumped
into the machine. The driver and the
garage man beat it AMI / cranked the
auto which started Immediately and
away we went with no particular town
in view. Just before we started an
other Ford attempted to stop in front
of this garage but started away in
hurry. Just where we went in this city
! do not know, but remember that we
got stuck three times near the Nash
factory. We pushed the car out and
started for some country road, some
where near Burlington, Wisconsin. We
went into a ditch slightly injuring US.
We all got out and started down the
road towards Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
Leave for Chicago from Geneva.
We just reached the station at Lake
Geneva in time, the train was just pull
ing out, we jumped on, after getting
seated we asked the conductor which
was the best way to Chicago and told
us to get off at Crystal Lake, Wisconsin
to change cars for Chicago, just as we
got near the station the conductor gave,
the engineer a signal to slow up, we
jumped off just in time to get the 9th
er train which was already In motion.
Dutch had time enough to get three
tickets as he got off first with Loveday.
