Miller reported that he re-loaded and fired six more times as the car sped off.

The bullets from the deputy's gun smashed the rear window of the car, put a hole in the right rear window and dents on the back end, but apparently missed the fugitives.

Miller hailed Justice, a Cass county farmer, to drive them to Lafayette. Miller suffered head injuries, a cut which required stitches over his left eye, and extereme- ly severe lacerations on his throat.
