Stussl told police that Polak had awakened him with shouts at one ajn. Friday, then told him to go see the teacher. Half awake Stussl was unable to determine whether Polak said he had killed the woman or that she was dead. Polak then walked out to the road. A shot was fired, follow ed by two. others, and Stussl saw Polak reeling toward the house a;ain. The man stumbled twice and crawled on all fours for the. last 25 yards, 'rrgnTeneci rifXti. piafffrcr StSi cries of Polak, Stussl ushered his wife, 30-month-old son, Con rad, and step-daughter, Hazel Gerlitzki, through a back window of the upper floor and down the roof of a lean-to shed and sent them to neighbors for help.
