ABOUT TEN (10) YEARS. WHEN TEE REVOLVER WAS TAKEN FROM ME IT WAS LOADED WITH FIVE 

(5) RCUNDS OF HOLLOW POINT LEAD WHICH WAS SURROUNDED WITH SHINY STUFF THAT WAS COOPER 

COLORED. THE REASON I REMEMBER THIS IS BECAUSE DET. WALKER CAME BY MY BUSINESS AND 

I SHOWED HIM A PISTOL THAT I HAD BOUGET TO REPLACE THE ONE THAT WAS STOLEM FROM 

ME AND I EXPLAINED TO HIM TEAT THE ONE I BOUGET WAS IDENTICAL TO THE ONE THAT JAS 

STOLE! EXCEPT FOR THE REAR SIGHTS AND THE SIZE Or THE EANDLES. HE ALSC ASKED MF AR( 

THE ROUNDS AND I SEOWED HIM THE ONES IN MY REVOLVER ALD EXPLAINED TO BIM TEAT THEY

@ DISTRICT ATTORNEY ATLANTA JUDICIAL CIRCUIT 

INFORMATION FOR FILE: 

After a meeting which took place at the Atlanta Police 

Department among A.D.A. RUSS PARKER, D=T. J. A. WALKER and 

this Investigator, it was decided that someone should go to 

Round Rock, Texas, to interview DOROTHY UMBERGER and show 

her som= photographs. RUSS PARKER and this Investigator re- 

layed this thinking to District Attorney LEWIS SLATON, and 

MR. SLATON gave his approval for this Investigator to go to 

Texas to interview MRS. UMBERGER. 

_ As a result of the above, I called MRS. UMBERGER on Fricay, 

. 6-15-78, to see when she would be at home so I could plan zy 

trip accordingly. She stated tnat Tuzsday, 6-20-78, would b= 

2 good day. I then told MRS. UMBERGER that I would be there on 

the morning of 6-20-78. I contacted Delta Airlines and round 

that no airline flew directly from Atlanta to Austin, Texas, sO 

I had to go through Dallas. Delta advised they were almost 

completely booxed but they would put me on the flight whers poEsinle, 

I wes able to ostain passage and I left Atlanta at 6:50 ALI 

6-20-78 going to Dallas, Texas, and then cn to Austin, Texa 

where I rented a car for the 20 mile trip to Round Rock, Te 

I arrived at }RS.

I began the interview dy jdentifying myself to MRS. U5: 

I then inquired if she had seen any Atlanta paper since tne 

of May and she stated she had not sesn any Atlanta paper since April 

when she and her husband left the city. I then began £o show. M33. 

UMBERGER several stacks of photographs. I indicated to her that oy 

showing her the photographs that I was in no way indicating that 

she mignt find anyone she might recognize. I told her the procedure 

was purely a way of trying to identify suspects and that if she dic 

not see anyone familiar she was not ©0 try to Find someonsg justi Des 

cause she was looking at the photographs. T also told her that Af 

she did find any familiar photos, to lst me know, . The Tirst group 

of photos were of different angles of a Pontiac Grand Prix anda one 

5f a Pontiac Catalina and 4 xerox pictures of Pontiacs. VPS, UZEEPOER 

studied these photos and picked one view of the Grand Prix as psling 

similiar to the car she saw parked on Hurt Street the day the Red Dot 

arket was robbed at 1025 Edgewood. MRS. U.IBERGER was 2ls0 r 

n the store, and this occured on 4-1-73. On a scale of 1-10 URS. 

UMBERGER thought it was the car to a 7-8 on the scale.

2:00 a.m. I was sitting at my desk located in the back of the store. My brother{ Alvis Malcom,/ . 

was standing in the office and all of a sudden turned around and informed me that we were being 

robbed and to call the police. Before he could get that cut of his mouth a black guy knocked 

my brother down and jerked his gun and holster off and at the same time he had the two 

secretaries on the floor. I hit the floor and then he started telling ns to move over closer 

to them. So I got up and saw a Tinie of his face which was a black Aa en 6 feet kind of 

slim with real strange eyes as if he had glasses on and was looking over them to see. As I 

stumbled over a chair to get over to where he was telling me to go he started pushing me and 

hit me over the head with the gun and forced me over to where Classie was. He had a pistol 

with a chrome barrel and had it pointed at all of us. He then told me to get on the floor 

and put my hands above my head face down. Then he said '"who runs this place?! Classie, one 

of the secretaries said that Ronnie ran the place and that he was wearing a grey shirt back 

over yonder somewhere. Then the guy said, ''where's the money?" Nobody said nothing and he

He reached down and pulled my wallet out of my back pocket and I could hear him scrambling 

through it. The next thing I heard was someone say, ''here comes the cops. When I heard that 

the next thing that happened was that the guy sort of jumped over all of us and headed

DETAILS: 

ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON, AT APPROXIMATELY 2:30 P.M., I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT 

AT WEST MARIETTA STREET AND HOWELL MILL ROAD N.W. WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE. 

WHILE SITTING AT THIS LOCATION, I OBSERVED A POLICE OFFICER DRIVE UP IN HIS 
PATROL CAR IN FRONT OF THE "DIXIE FURNITURE STORE", GET OUT OF HIS CAR, DREW 
HIS GUN AND CHECKED THE DOORS OF THE BUSINESS AND THEN WENT INSIDE. MAYBE A 
MINUTE OR TWO (2), AFTER THE OFFICER ENTERED THIS BUSINESS, I HEARD TWO (2) 
SHOTS, CONE RIGHT AFTER THE OTHER. THEN I SAW A BLACK MALE COME OUT OF THE 
FURNITURE STORE, HOLDING A GUN AT HIS SIDE, AND HE WALKED BESIDE THE BUILDING. 
I REALLY COULDN'T TELL THAT MUCH ABOUT THE GUN, BECAUSE THE BLACYX MALE WAS 
KINDA CUPPING THE GUN IN HIS HAND, BUT I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS DARK-COLORED. 
AT THIS POINT, I DROVE ON DOWN MARIETTA BOULEVARD AND I STOPPED AT A SERVICE 
STATION AND CALLED THE POLICE. LATER ON, I SAW A LOT OF POLICE CARS BACK 
UP AT THE FURNITURE STORE AND THEN WE STOPPED AND MY HUSBAND TOLD THE 
OFFICERS WHAT WE HAD SEEN. THEN THE OFFICER'S ASKED US TO COME DOWN TO 
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO MAKE A WRITTEN STATEMENT CONCERNING WHAT WE HAD 
OBSERVED. :

: TALL, ABOUT 170-180 POUNDS, WEARING DARX BROWN PANTS, BROWN SILK 

LEIZURE SHIRT, WITH MUSTARD COLORED AND EITHER RED OR ORANGE 
COLORED STRIPES IN THE SHIRT, I CANNOT BE SURE ABOUT HIS FACIAL 
FEATURES, AS I DIDN'T OBSERVE THE SUBJECT BUT FOR A VERY SHORT 
PERIOD @F TIME, BUT I BELIEVE THAT HE WAS CLEAN-SHAVEN, WITH MO 
MUSTACHE OR BEARD, MEDIUM LONG AFRO WITH NO HAT.

TO PICK UP DAVID BARNEY. THEN WE RODE AROUND TALKING ABOUT GETTING SOME MONEY. 
BEN SUGGESTED THAT WE TRY THE DIXIE FURNITURE STORE. WE RODE AROUND THE BLOCK 
A COUPLE OF TIMES LOOKING AT THE DIXIE FURNITURE STORE BEFORE WE COULD REALLY 
MAKE UP OUR MINDS WHETHZIR WE WERE GOING TO GO IN OR NOT. AFTER WE DECIDED TO 
GO IN AND CHECK IT OUT, I WENT IN AND LOOKED TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE IN 

- THERE. THEN I TOOK THE INFORMATION BACK TO THEM. AFTER I GAVE THEM THE INFOR- 
MATION A DECISION ABOUT WHERE THE CAR WOULD BE PARKED HAD TO BE MADE. AFTER 
THAT, WE DECIDED THAT BEN, -DUPREE, DAVID WOULD ALL GO TO THE BACK -DOOR AND 
THAT I WOULD GO THROUGH THE FRONT. WHEN I GOT ON THE INSIDE, I GOT THE PEOPLE 
TO LAY ON THE FLOOR AND T JUST STOOD OVER THEM AND WATCHED THEM, WHILE THEY 
WERE SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING THE MONEY, I STOOD THERE APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES 
AND AFTER HAVING TAKEN SO LONG INSIDE THE STORE WAITING ON THEM, I BECAME 
VERY NERVOUS AND JITTERY AND THEN STARTED WALKING BACK TOWARDS THE FRONT DOOR. 
I GOT ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONT DOOR AND , JUST AS I GOF TO THE DOOR, I SAW 
THE POLICE CAR WHEN IT PULLED INTO THE PARKING LDT. I IMMEDIATELY CRAWLED 
UP UNDER A BED OR A SOFA, FURNITURE THAT WAS IN THE FRONT.. IT WAS ENOUGH 
CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE FURNITURE FOR ME TO SEE THE OFFICER WALKING UP THE 
AISLE. I ®%% SIVING HIM TIME ENOUGH TO GET UP THE AISLE SO THAT I COULD EASE 
OUT THE FRONT DOOR. JUST AS I GOT UP FROM UNDER THE FURNITURE , I GOT UP 
TO MY FEET, I HEARD TWO (2) GUNSHOTS. I IMMEDIATELY PANICKED AND STARTED 
QUICKLY TO THE FRONT DOOR BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW IF THE OFFICER HAD SEEN ME 
AND HAD STARTED SHOOTING AT ME. I DID NOT LOOK AROUND TO SEE. MY INTENTION 
WAS TO GET OUT OF THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AFTER I GOT CLEAR OF THE FRONT. _ 
DOOR, OUT OF THE FRONT DOOR, I RAN ALL THE WAY TO THE CAR. AFTER WE GOT TO 
THE CAR, EVERYONE WAS REALLY PUZZLED ABOUT WHICH DIRECTION TO GO IN. SO, 
BERNARD DUPREE SUGGESSTED THAT WE GO TO HIS HOUSE. AFTER HAVING ARRIVED AT 
HIS HOUSE, WE QUICKLY WENT ON THE INSIDE, CHANGED CLOTHES, AND THEN WE CAME 
BACK OUTSIDE. DAVID WENT IN A SEPARATE DIRECTION, BERNARD DUPREE STAYED AT 
HOME, BEN WRIGHT AND MYSELF LEFT IN THE CAR.- FROM THAT POINT, I TOOK HIM 
TO MCDANIEL STREET TO THE POOLROOM. FROM THAT POINT, I WENT TO 20 BOWEN AVENUE 
WHERE I STAYED FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, AND FROM THAT POINT, TO MARIETTA. 
I WAS IN MARIETTA UP TO THAT POINT.
