An FBI spokesman said an "intensive investigation" led agents to the service station. The agents drove up and asked an attendant to fill lip then automobile tank. They found Cole in the office.

Francisco police said Cole was named by a compan ion, Thomas Hamrick, as La cey's killer. Lacey, off duty, was sitting in the tavern when Cole and Hamrick tried to hold it up.
