Heading: White Hen Pantry I

Text: On August 31, 1978, at about 1:25 a.m., Hall entered the White Hen Pantry at 6829 North Teutonia Avenue, Milwaukee, and asked the clerk, Kurt Eckenrod, the only person in the store at the time Hall entered, for a pack of cigarettes. Eckenrod tossed the cigarettes on the counter and started ringing up the sale when he felt something hit the left side of his head and heard a bang. Eckenrod fell to the floor dazed and heard the defendant depressing the keys and buttons on the two cash registers in an attempt to open them. Hall then searched Eckenrod's pockets and removed his wallet and keys. As he was leaving, Hall encountered a person known as Ronald Winkler who was driving into the White Hen Pantry's parking lot and, after walking to the driver's side of Winkler's car, stated You better get to a telephone because the clerk inside has been shot and there is blood all over the place. Winkler summoned the police who, upon arrival, rendered aid to the victim and, upon investigation, discovered and retained as evidence a spent bullet and shell casing from a .25-caliber pistol found on the floor behind the checkout counter.
