Nolan brought out of the witness
that he had been hiding out since
the killing and decided on Oct. 9,
to surrender and tell agents what
he knew.
The witness was evasive about the
Kentucky gang angle, admitting he
had not told Federal agents of that.
Immediately before the ABS adj
journment yesterday, Barrett and
the jury had heard from the first
three persons to the scene of the
shooting the statement of Barrett
that he had known government
agents were after him..
"Beat Him to Draw"
In his opening statement, Edward
Everett Rice, Hamilton, O., Barrett's
attorney, said the evidence would
prove that Barrett had thought at
the time he shot Klein that he was
being pursued, not by government
agents to arrest him for transport
ing stolen autos, but by Kentucky
feudiStS.
Paul McDonough, in whose back
yard the shooting of Klein and Bar
rett occurred, testified that he heard
the reports of the shots and, upon
learning what had happened, rushed
to Barrett's side to ask;
What happened?"
Il Beat Him to the Draw"
ut was a government man." he
said Barrett replied, 1T was either
him or me, and I beat him to the
draw"
Mrs. Lethonia Forbes, Oxford, o.,
so miles from West College Corner,
who was visiting Mrs. McDonough
the night of the shooting, testified
she and Mrs. McDonough heard re-
ports of the shots while they were
standing in front of the McDonough
home.
She said they ran into the house
until the shots had subsidized and
then peered out of the side door.
They went out into the yard when
they had satisfied themselves that
the shooting was over, she said,
and found man she later knew as
Barrett.
