Stefanoff and both Greens were armed. ‘LeBt- er, did not shoot, bat he had a pistol,” Black said. Both Greens and some of the women shook their heads. It was patent that thei;e was some feeling In Bas- com Green’s testimony. All of them blame Black for a weak ness that exposed them. ^ Judge Gill asked Black, . who testified that Stefanoff enstneer- ed the robbery and got the Mquor, why ,lf Black had no pnr- pohe to hurt the bankers, he did not help them, when they were shot down.
