Holsapple said he shook hands
with himself after 1t was over and
he had q chance to examine his
automobile. He said he found four
bullet marks, two in the radiator,
one on the engine cover and an
other on the dashboard. Later, he
said, a deputy sheriff informed
him that two bullets had also
pierced the top of the car.
Il can't figure out yet how that
bullet which hit the dashboard

Holsapple shows little or no con-
Germ over his present plight. He
assumes the attitude that the sit

in due time. He excoriates the
authorities for apparent indiffer-
ence to the Gabel murder. With a
show of fire in his eyes he declares
there are a number of witnesses
