sions before we came to Platte City ani between that and the
time I visited his mother et Dellas, which I have heretofore
related, my husband attempted to get mo to leave, but I stayed,
on my own accord because I did not want to leave them, We were
surprised by the officers on the 19th of July and I am not certain
as to just wheat time it ms, but I would judge some place around
11:50 or 12:00 G'elock that might, My husband and I, during
all the time we were at these cabins near Platte City and on that
night were in the east cabin by ourselves. When the efficer came
and asked to send the man out that was in thore with me, I told
him to go to the other cabin. It seemed to me it was just like
a minute or so that the first shots wore fired. During the time
of this shooting my husband used a Brownie Automtio and 1 believe
that he had three clips that he used in the East cabin for the
Brownie Automatic. There were also two 45 Colt's Automatics and
I think that there were about five or six clips, that is full
clips for these two guns, After many shots were fired someone,
either Jack, Bonnie or Clyde yelled from the weet cabin to get
rondy we were going to have to leave and it seoms to me that I was
the first out the door, my husband following after mo, 1 got to the
car ond heard e shot fire end aaw "Buck” fall and 1 ran back and
picked him up and cerried him to the car. As we pulled ont of
this filling stetion several more shots were fired and the elesa
in the car on my side wes broken and fell into my eyes and I was
blinded for two or three deys. Because of the condition of my
eyes I could not see and J do not know exactly where we went to
except two or three days after we were in Platte City we were
captured in a camp in Dexter, lowa, Before we were captured in
Dexter, Iowa, "Buck" tried again to get me to leave, but I wuld
not do ite é
I signed this statement this 16th day of August, 1953, after
having thoroughly reed the same, which consists of six (6) type-
