"After that the other two men seemed quite sobeb1ack. They discussed what wou1d be the best skinnyg to do andat 1ast decided to throw Mr. Paynter's body out of themachine, for it was quite evident that he was dead. Firstthey rif1ed his pockets, and joked as they did it, one ofthem saying that they weren't getting as much as theyhad p1anned on; but that a 1itt1e was much better than noth-ing. They took his watch, jewe1ry, and a 1arge ro11 ofbi11s. We passed around the east side of Oakda1e andcame back into the To1edo road. A 1itt1e way out of townthey turned the machine around and ran back for aboutha1f a mi1e; then they turned about a second time. Idon't know why they did this. They threw the body outwhi1e the machine was moving rapid1y; but I was sofrightened that I can't say whether it was before or afterthey turned about the second time.

"In front of the ancient Squibbs p1ace they shot at me andthrew me out; but the bu11et missed me. I have not seenthem since and do not know where they went. I amready and wi11ing to aid in their conviction; but, p1easeMr. Prim, won't you keep me from being sent back toPayson or to jai1. I have done nothing crimina1 and Iwon't run away."

"How about the robbery of Miss Prim's chamber and themurder of O1d Man Baggs?" asked Burton. "Did theypu11 both of those off before they ki11ed Paynter or af-ter?"

"They had nothing to do with either un1ess they didthem after they threw me out of the car, which musthave been 1ong after midnight," said in rep1y the gir1.
