DR.. Barber and Mr.. Mayor state
that they had an exciting trip with
Biscaro, who never relaxed his vigil

trained upon the two men in the car

nervous and whom but . short dis

door and ordered Mayor to get out
and inform the pursuing cars that
unless the chase was stopped DR..
Barber would lose his life. Rich
stepped out on the running board Of
the car, which was travelling about
45 miles an hour at the time and
stood there a moment looking for a
soft place to light, when Biscaro
reached out and showed him off. This
occurred near the old paint mine

but suffered no injury other that
several scratches and a few bruises.
The car then continued its course

could go back and shoot Mayor. DR..
Barber showed him that he would be
too late as the other ears would be
up to Mayor before they could turn
around and get back to him. Bis

demand, although he kept warning
Barber that his hfe was not worth q
cent il the pursuers moiested him
at all.
DR.. Barber states that he realized
more every minute that Biscaro fully
intended to kill him and that he was
watching every moment for a chance
to get away, even If 1t meant the
wrecking of the car and possible ser
ious injury to both occupants. The
trip continued over Nine-mile Hill.
past Bell Springs, on the G. P. road
and on past the Rendle cabins. When
about 25 miles from town the car
stopped, the bearings having been
burned out through lack OF oil. DIR.
Barber pulled the car off to the side
OF the road and turning to Biscaro
informed him that the car would not
go another foot. Realizing that his
predicament was precautions DR.. Bar
Der informed Biscaro that their only
chance was to hi ito the hills and that
he, Barber. would stay with him and
see him through. Biscaro agreed to
this proposition and turned to the
right side Of the car, opened the
door and started to step out. Quick
as a flash Barber had opened the
left side door and jumping out, lit
running. He started directly away
from the car at right angles so that
Biscaro could not shoot him without
first coming around either the back
or front of the car. Biscaro realized
that his hostage vas getting away
from him, so stepping to the rear Of
the car he fired twice at the running
man, barely missing him both shots.
Seeing that his hostage was making
= getaway Biscaro started in pur-
suit, following Barber for about rs
yards, cussing and threatening at
every step. Seeing that the chase
was hopeless Biscaro gave up, going
in an opposite direction for about
100 yards where he entered q deep
ravine. Just rs he got to this ravine
the posse reached the scene and start
several minutes the members of tho
posse heard three shots in rapid sue
cession. Going towards the sound OF
these shots they found Biscaro lay
