John Abney, a citizen of Gibsland, eight miles from the scene of the killings, told a graphic story of the transportation of the dead bodies to Arcadia in their "death Car."
"The officers brought the bodies through here about 11:30," he said. "They just left the bodies in the car and tied it to another car and hauled it to Arcadia. Bonnie Parker's head was almost shot off, and it just dangled. Barrow was as badly shot up. There must have been 15 or 20 bullet holes in the windshield of the car. The sides of the car were just peppered full of holes.
Several people here noticed Barrow's car in the last three or four days. It was an almost new car. It had an Arkansas license and a big trunk on the back.
The officers had been hiding along the road since 3 o'clock this morning and had automatic rifles, sawed-off shotguns and pistols. I heard an ex-convict had tipped them off that Barrow was coming this way.
The ex-convict went out in the road to flag the car and when Barrow reached for his own gun that's when the officers fired."
