That is .the manner in which he illustrated position of Officer Seamon and his, son as the two shots were tired la rapid succession. Frank Przvlenski's right hand, as the father illustrated it. held a revolver aimed at SeamonV:. neck on almost identically the sam?* angle as that which the buliet fc-<- j lowed.

"I turned and looked back in, time to s?>e the shots." The chief feature of ihe sister's dl-i rec.t testimony was her statement that1 her brother t.old the officer that If hoi would let him go that he would girej hirn the revolver, but that 'he officer' did not h*t go. j Contrary to the testimony of state ; witnesses who said that Si-umon and : Przelenski were standing from fourj to six fp"t apart when the shuts rang] out. she declared that her brother and! the officer wore scuffling and than !
