"Gilmer appeared calm. Mrs.

scared to death. We both pleaded
with him to turn back to town, but he
persisted in driving ahead.

over a rough back street, he drove to
the road leading from the old Wash

From then on, she continued. he

be to explain away the shooting.
Apparently Lost Nerve.
Although he had agreed to take
Giluer to the hospital in Fredericks-
burg. he apparently lost his perve,
driving around the town instead. He
drove like mad. constantly turning to
look at Gilmer and telling me to talk
to the already dead man so he
wouldn't die"
Somewhere beyond Fredericksburg
her husband announced he could
drive no farther and insisted that she
take the wheel, despite the fact he
knew she had never learned to drive.
He finally drove on, crying over
and over, Why did do it?'" Mrs.
Thomas related. He said he knew
he had killed an innocent man; that
he had let his temper get the best
OF him. And now.' he said, I've
made a mess of everybody's life"
Several times, Mrs. Thomas de-
clared, she seized the steering wheel
In an effort to get her husband to turn
back toward Fredericksburg or WASH

his brother-in-law, Elmer Morris. at
King George Court House. Half way
there he had threatened to stop and
finish us both, and now ] was afraid
he meant to do it.
