It was deemed advisable at this time to remain in the Ford sedan, as we did notyto discloses our presence to the driver of the Auburn car. Shortly thereafter, we observed a man of medium stature and build, wearing a brown top coat and a hat pulled down over his face, on the sidewalk by the Galt Street entrance, This man hurriedly approached Bobbie Moore's ear, the right door of which was open. as thia man entered the car, it was noticed by agent Lockerman and the writer that he had a heavy mustache and horn rimmed glasses. His hat was pulled down covering bis face so that it wae impossible to distinguish any other facial characteristics except the mustache. As thia man eat down in the car, we doth remarked the possibility that he was Verne Miller. It is to be noted that we had not received any information that Verne Uiller had been identified, and that we had no information that it waa known he was coming out of the apartment to enter this Auburn car. The auburn roadster was parked 15 to £0 feet from the writer'a car. After receiving the passenger, the Auburn roadster drove away from the parking space hurriedly. About the time thia car was opposite agent's car, agent Lockerman and the writer, having unsheathed eur guns, got out of the car, and at about the same inetant agent Lou Nichola, running East on the sidewalk from the Galt Street entrance, hollered, "Stop that car*, or something that sounded similar to thie. There was a scream from the Auburn roadater, and a shot coming from the right side of this car just above the door, was directed towarde agent KFichols. The writer saw agent Nichols shoot at the car several times. By this time agent Lockerman end the writer were in the center of Galt Street, facing East and agent Lou Nichols, State Trooper Kempster end Sergeant Freemuth, city detective, were in front of the writer and agent Lockerman, directing their fire at the fleeing car. At thie time the writer noticed the car swerve a trifle to the left. It was not known by the writer whetber agent Lockerman fired any shots at the fleeing car. The writer refrained from firing at the car on account of Nichole, Kempster ané Freemuth being in direct line of fire, being about 30 feet from the writer. It was noticed that the fleeing car continued at high apeed for approximately three blocks, when it turned to the right. Due to the fact that the Ford sedan in which we were seated was closely parked between two other cara, headed Weet, where the beat surveillance of the hotel could be had, it was impossible to give chase to the fleeing car before it was completely out of sight. ; ~ Respectfully submitted, L Id. « H.
