Automobile Rlddlcd.
The automobile was fairly riddlod
with bullets. one man said he de-
tected holes OF four different sizes,
the smallest apparently made by a
25 caliber automatic and the largest
by a AS caliber revolver.
That Rogers killed Wilkerson is
the prevalent opinion. The powder
burns on the back OF Wilkerson's
neck and the hole burned in his hat
indicate the revolver from which the
fatal shots were fired was presse d
close to his body.
Darks' escape is considered moth
ing less than miraculous, as when
the bullets started to fly. the justice
of the peace, who occupied the rear
seat with Wilkerson, quickly slumped
TO the bottom of the car. He had
no sooner laid down when Wllker-
sons lifeless body toppled down on
him. II is perhaps this shield that
saved his life.
Sharp Struck In Arm.
As Sharp started to drive away a
bullet entered his right arm break
ing one OF the forearm bones. In
spite OF this handicap he drove the
car two blocks and out OF the range
of flying bullets. Sharp lost one leg
several years ago.
At this point In the conver8a-
tlon Sharp was obtained to drive
them in Darks' car around TO the
