police officers in a period of about two seconds, Miller was not in the
foyer and apparently had taken the staircase to the lobby approximately
five or ten seconds before, Agent immediately proceasded to the jobby
of the Sherone Apartment Hotel where Sergeant Preemuth of the Chicas
Police Department covered o man at the office desk who from behind
appeared to be Millere Agent immediately pushed a revolver into this
man’s ribs, turned him around, determined he was not Miller, and tren
with Sergeant Freemuth and Sergeant Buck Kempster of the Illinsis State
Police, who was carrying a Thompson Sub Machine Gun, rushed out the Galt
Street entrance in search of Miller, Upon arriving on the sidewelk agent
observed Special ageut Nichols in the center of the highway, revolver in
hand as if he had shot or wee taking eim at some objecte Agent rushed
with the machine gunner to the middle of the street and within ae couple
of feet from where agent Nichols was standing. At this moment the auto-~
mobile of Bobbie Moore was about fifty feet away and going down Galt Avenue
at a fairly rapid speed, Sergeant Kempster, who was carrying the machine
gun and who was within a couple of feet of agent, immediately drepped on
his knee and opened up with a machine gun, Agent endeavored to follow the
automobile in question and ended up with other agenics andl police officers
at Clarendon Avenue, which is approximately three blocks from the Sherone
Avartment Hotel. .
Agent. did not have an opportunity to shoot at the fleeing ~
automobile due to the fact that when he reached the middle of Gelt Avenue
the car was moving at 4 fast pace and already some distance away. The
neighborhood was congested with automobiles and reckless shooting would
possibly cost the lives of innocent passers by.
