Clyde Barrow came to the cabin where I was and told me that
Jack ond my husband had had an accident and for me to pack up
that we had to leaves We returned then as 1 now remember to
Oklahoma and it was two or three days after leaving Arkansas
that I read ino paper, celled the "Daily Oklahoma" that our
gang was accused of having shot an officer at a little town
culled Alma near Van Buren. My husband was accused by tho
officers of having killed this officer, although when I showed
him the paper he told me he did not know which one of them bad
actually killed the officer, he or Jack Sherman, as they both
ghot several time in this fight. it was sometime after the
Yan Buren shooting and while we were in Oklahoma that I first
saw the some thirty additional guns. They wore all, outside
of one or two, 45 Colt'’s Automatics. It was about this time
that Glyde sawed the barrel and stock off of one of the Brownie
Automatics which was shown to me by the officers on the day 1
signed this statements Today I was show thirty-eight 45 Colt's
Automatics, one 44 H & W, four Brownie Automatics ani a canvas

generally V8 Fords, Sedans and Coachese This type of car
was used because they were so fest and quick to start. How
long we stayed in lowe I do not knowe
After going into Iowa we returned to Missouri and at about
10:30 o'clock om the night of the 16th of July this year, we
passed a filling station on Highway 71, which I have later
learned is about seven miles east of Plette City. After pass-
ing this station we decided to turs around snd go back because
we had seen come cottages behind a filling station. We drove
into the filling station and I don't remember what two
down, but I wes in the front seat of the car and asked
to rent the two cabins as there were two women and one mine
Re generally always used this method in renting cottages to
keep down suspicion that there were five of us. While we were
at the cabins near Platte City, I did all the buying of the
food at the filling station, directly in front o:
