FARMER STANLEY SUCHOkI
i halted his car by the kitchen
door and waited while his wife,
Annie, got out.
BE right In. Ma he said.
"Soon's ! put this machine
away"
The woman nodded, let her
self into the house and began
walking through the dimly-
lighted kitchen. Suddenly, the
figure of a man eased toward
her from behind a door. His
right hand gripped a pistol.
Mrs. Suchoki screamed
The man raised his gun and
crashed IL against her face As
the room reeled about her she
fell forward clutching her assail-
ants coat.
Suchoki. hurrying from the
barn to answer his wife's calls,
stood riveted to his tracks as
two muffied shots rang out from
the house.
The kitchen door opened and
the Mortified farmer saw his wife
stagger toward him.. her face
and chest covered with crimson.
AS he went 10 her aid, she sud
denly sprawled full length in the
driveway.
Before the shocked Suchoki
could comprehend the situation,
the gunman came through the
doorway, smoking pistol in hand.
The leveled weapon spoke four
times more, its lethal slugS tear
ing into Suchoki's abdomen.
The farmer doubled In agony
and stumbled forward, but did
not go down. AS he reached out
for his assassin, now merely a
hazy form in his rapidly dim
ming sight, Suchoki felt his arm
being wrenched, the auto keys
being snatched roughly from his
clutching fingers.
He managed to reach the back
porch as sounds of a racing mo-
tor came from the barn. Then
Suchoki heard a car speed past
him in the driveway; partly con-
scious the farmer reeled 20 yards
TO the main highway where he
passed out.
