Immediately afte: he had shot at a red bird, ac cording to his story, he heard "s moan and a groan" from the di rection of the road. He ran ou' to the road around a little curve he said, and found a man lying there on his right side in a poo of blood. He recognized the mar as being Louis Ganus. BadJy Frightened Jenrette said that he was sc badly frightened that he didn't know what to do. He said that he took hold of the hands oi the dying man and drug him Intc the bushes on the side of the road. He added that he picked up the man's hat threw it in aftei the body and ran home just as fast as he could go.
