Woodrum requested a witness to let Lee and Smith, who was unknown to Woodrum, inside 107 Devon Avenue. The witness went again into Woodrum’s room and Lee and Smith went into one other room throughout the corridor. After a few minutes, Lee entered Woodrum’s room and mentioned “I am sorry” a number of instances. Smith adopted Lee into the room, pointed a silver revolver at Woodrum, and mentioned “what’s up give me the bag, give me the cash, give me all the things.” Woodrum handed Smith a bag, saying “take it, take it.” A wrestle ensued and a number of photographs had been heard. Woodrum ran down the corridor into the lavatory, the place he collapsed. Woodrum was shot in his chest and again.
