Q. Was the motor running fast or slow?

A. Slow. As the car backed back, when it cut around Mr Freeman stepped about two or three steps forward. Then

when he changed gear and started out Mr Freeman backed back a step or two and then the shots were fired.

Q. Did Anderson follow on the opposite side of the car?

A. That put him out of my sight.

Q. Were any shots fired until the car started?

A. Both fired as it headed out the street.

Q. It was running slow when the first shot was fired and when the second was fired the motor was racing?

A. When the first shot was fired the motor didn't speed up a bit. When the second shot fired it seemed to speed up a

little, but not when the first shot was fired.

Q. Had the gears been changed on that car?

A. When the first shot was fired it was moving forward very slow and left when the second shot was fired.

Q. Did you go on out the street?

A. No I didn't go out.

Q. Had you previously seen Cornett that afternoon?

A. No I had not seen him. I had been sick for a day or two and had been home after the polls closed. Then thought I

would drive back.
