As previously stated, the door to the car had been opened by Bobbie, and this man with his right hand in his overcoat pocket stepped into the car, As he was getting into the car, we noticed Sergeant Frank Freemuth and Special Agent Lou Nichola coming out of the Galt Street entrance of the apartment building. We also noticed that ‘both of these men had revolvers in their hands, md just as Bobbie's car with Verne in it pulled off, we heard agent Nichols holler something like "*Halt* or "Stop that car*. At that time the car was practically opposite ‘the car in which we were sitting, going in an Easterly direction. I immediately opened the right hand door of this sedan in which we were sitting, and stepped into the street and leveled the revolver in the direction of the car and shot one time. Agent Rice, as.I recall, got out of khe back of the car approximately the same time. By that time agent Nichols and Sergeant Freemuth and Sergeant Kempster, who had started running in the direction of the car, had entered the middle of the street behind Bobble Moore's car, and had opened fire in the direction of the car. It was impossibie then for Rice or myself to continue fire upon Bobbie's car. Therefore, no further shots were fired. Cur car was parked between two other cars possibly 40 feet from where Bobbie Moore had stopped her car in front of the Galt Street entrance, and our car was beaded in a Westerly direction. It was impossible, after we became aware of the fect that they were trying to stop that man, to get back into the car, start it and get it out from between the two cars and turn it around to an Easterly direction and give chase to Bobbie's car, for the reason that by that time they were completely out of sight and nothing could be done as far as giving pursuit in the car in which we were perked. We had not received any information that the man in the room with Vi had been identified aa Verne Niller, and as previously stated, we had no information that it was known that he was coming out of the apartment, Respectfully submitted, A.
