#60 and headed south to Des Moines, Iowa. About five miles north of Polk City
their car threw a tire and they endeavored to stop ©. S. Johnson, of Perry,
Towa, and bake his car but he kept on going. They continued driving on the
rim for another mile south until they arrived at the George Allbright farm.
Mre and Mra. Allbright wore interviewed and Mrs. Allbright stated
sho was working around her yari about 9:00 o'clock on tho morning of July 24th, ©

se0 who it was and this mm, whom she identifies as Clyde Barrow, pointed a
gun at her, and told her to come over and show hic how to start the car. How-
