Mr. Slack.

they just threw those old guns in that car, or they took two of them. Of course, one was wrapped up in a blanket, a dirty looking old grey blanket that had a red trim, I remember. I remember that, because we found an old blanket at our house and I told Lucille I was trying to think, I knew it was something common, this good gun, it was wrapped up and tied up.
The sporterized Italian gun was tied up and he handed it over the fence nicely. And he had a grey and red maroon, looked slick as satin, and I remember it well, what a gun case--you see everything at a shooting place--some bring a rifle in a tote sack and--for a gun case.
The other thing I remember about that blanket he had wrapped around his gun, it was tied up with a rag string that was torn about an inch and half wide out of a filling station type wipe cloth, a ribbon, pink, and he had torn it up and--to use as a rag string.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember what kind of car these fellows drove?

Mr. Slack.

No; I couldn't remember it, and Lucille couldn't except it was an older model car.

Mr. Liebeler.

Was it a sedan?

Mr. Slack.

A four-door sedan, and it was a dark color, and he left there like a crazy bunch of hoodlums. And Lucille would remember that because she made a remark to me. You know how boys take off and make the dust fly.
Well we had--in other words, without having some reason, you wouldn't notice what kind of car it was.

Mr. Liebeler.

I want to show you a picture of a rifle. Two pictures that have previously been marked as Exhibits 3 and 4, on the deposition of Mr. Greener, and ask you if that looks like the rifle they had at the rifle range?

Mr. Slack.

I don't remember a carrying strap on it, this rifle here. Of course, that is something you use to carry the gun, if you take it. That could be it, that is right, with the sling off. When I saw the gun the sling was not on it.
I don't think it had the wood up above the barrel, because when it is sporterized, as I remember, the whole barrel is painted blue.

Mr. Liebeler.

So there was not as much wood to the front of the rifle on the one you saw at the range, is that right? "

Mr. Slack.

That's right.

Mr. Liebeler.

What about the scope? Was it the same kind of scope?

Mr. Slack.

I can say no. Pictures do something to you, but that scope seems like it is a 1-inch, that scope, according to the size of the gun and proportions of sizes. This is the same gun upside down, the other side.

Mr. Liebeler.

Well, you are pretty clear this isn't the rifle because of the wood that protrudes?

Mr. Slack.

This rifle had the barrel cut off. I know this rifle right here. This is proportionately, Mr. Liebeler----

Mr. Liebeler.

Pardon?

Mr. Slack.

No; the sight is, the open sight is out on it since it has been cut off.

Mr. Liebeler.

The one that you saw at the rifle range had been cut off is that correct?

Mr. Slack.

It had been cut off, and I will swear it had been reblued, and it did not have the front ramp sight of that rifle.

Mr. Liebeler.

So that the rifle you saw at the rifle range is not the same rifle as the picture I have just shown you, is that right?

Mr. Slack.

Now they had two other rifles that would fit that. They were not sporterized.

Mr. Liebeler.

But they didn't have scopes on them?

Mr. Slack.

They didn't have scopes on them.

Mr. Liebeler.

But you remember that the rifle you saw at the range did have the barrel cut off and didn't have the sight on the front so it couldn't have been this rifle?

Mr. Slack.

I would say that. I would say that is not it, because the sporterized rifle, the shiny new one, I don't think it had the metal binding on it. The top wood, so this holds the top wood. Now, that is the type of rifle, see
