as far as the Barbara Worth one time
to so to MIR. Applestill and then |
figured Rudy went in there and | did
not know how things were going.
, Q. You finally came to the conclu-
sion then that the best thing to do was
to cut and run?
A. No. sir. | never aimed to leave.
| told Mr. Egerer the day left, told
him l had to leave, that the chief told
me to, and he asked ME did | have
anything on the chief, and | says "you
know how it is, whenever it comes to
a head can tell you a whole lot" and
| know Mr.. Egerer and the chief had
had a fuss. | went down TO his bakery
and went in the back end and talked
to him, and stated in there that was
afraid of the chief because the chief
had just told me that morning, and
the night l left Sam Griffin was down
at the pool hall and l went there to
get some cigarets and Sam walked
down with me, and | says things are
getting pretty raw around here. | am
going to get out while getting is
good" and the boy says 81 will take
you down on the motorcycle" and the
first thing thought of he was going
TO get me in the motorcycle and
run me into a pole some place, and |
reached down and got my gun, and /
figured if he started to pole l would
do some shooting l thought the rea-
son they brought that motorcycle down
there they was going to get me in
there and do away with ne.
z. The only reason you had for leav-
ing here was that you were afraid of
the chief?
A. The chief just as good as told
me to leave or he would kill me- ga
| Q. What were his words? a.e.
A. He says. "Hvde | want you to
leave now because they are going to
raid tomorrow night" and he says
you leave tonight" and he says "by
i mean for you to leave and stay
gone and don't want to see you come
back here again"
! z. When YOU went to see Egerer
did you tell him when you were 60
ing?
A sgid | was going to Tucson to
see aboTEsmy job and if there was
nothing there l would drop back to
Los Angeles if anything showed up
here so could come back, but if they
ever got that chief in jail here | would
be back.
Q. You made that remark to Mr.
Egerer?
\. | am pretty sure | did.
Q. Did Mr.. Egerer have knowledge
how things were going?
A. He did not seem to give me any
opening where could say anything.
Q. You did not know either whether
the sheriff's office was in on things
or not? -
A. No. l did not want to take any
chances. t.r.

Both Sides Willing to Let 1t
Sleep Owing to Flood of Pro-

Washington. May 6.-After n series
of informal conferences, Democratic
and Republican members of the house
have agreed there is no prospect of en-
actment of soldier relief legislation be-
fore the forthcoming recess for the
political conventions.
Representative Knutson. of Minnesota.
the Republican whip. said that many
members felt that the whole question
should 90 over until after the November
election. so as to avoid possible iniec-
ton Of partisanship into it's considera-
ton.
Representative Garner, Of Texas.
Democratic whip. and members of the
ways and means committee which con-
Quoted extensive hearings on relief legis-
lation, declared sentiment was rapidly
changing" and that a majority of the
Democratic members of the committee
were willing to let the bill continue to
sleep in committee"
Much of the change in sentiment,
members said. was due to the large
number Of protests against increasing
the tax burdens and its possible effect
on the cost Of living.
