 Miss Samuelson came at me with an automatic. I grabbed butcher knife off the kitchen table and stabbed her twice in the shoulder and the knife bent double. Sheriff McFadden former Maricopa country sheriff has the knife.
 Then I grabbed for the gun and I was shot in the hand. I caught hold of her hand, twisted it and Miss Samuelson was shot by the gun still in her hand; the gun fell to the floor.
 Il whirled as Ann came at me with an ironing board. Fighting and tussling we fell to the floor. I got the gun on the floor and shot her.
 A friend arranged for the dis posal of the bodies, involving dis section of Miss Samuelson's body so they both would fit in a trunk in which they were shipped to Los Angeles.
