Die and getome money. I told him

the man's waHet In a vest pocket he
put it back in the fellow's overcoat
pocket when Walters wasn t looKing.

who conducted the direct examina
tion. "I didn't want to take his money,"
replied the witness.
After the third hold-up Tillman said
lie told Walters that they would have
to stop.
"1 told him the police would sure
get us," related the youth. "He said
he didn't care, because the police
would never get him."
After the third hold-up "Tillman
said they started back toward the
business district with the intention
'of going to the union station and get
ting a train.
"When we got down by Sixth and

Police Beaded Their Way. t
The police were coming up Sixth
street and headed for the same corT
ner we were- When they got pretty
close to us Palmer called out for us
to stop and take our hands out of
our pockets. stopped and did as he
said, but Walters walked off the-side-walk
and got about six feet from the
curb. When the poli" called once
again for him to stop, Walters turned
and shot Palmer. The other officer
with Palmer fired at Walters, who
then began to run east. They paid
no- attention to me after the police
man had been shot. I etood there fort Beach, Wash.
