1. Hazel Tanis was hit by four .32 slugs and a shotgun
blast as she cowered in the corner of the bar. She survived until
July 14, 1966. Mrs. Tanis was shot in the throat, stomach, intestine,
spleen and left lung. Her arm was shattered by shotgun pellets.
"Her stomach area was a mess, just a total mess," said
her daughter Barbara. "She was all blown up. It was an ugly,
horrible sight." [Obituary]
2. Willie Marins had been sitting at the bar talking
with Bob Nauyoks. He turned to see a gun pointed directly at
his face and remembered seeing smoke coming out of the nozzle.
He had been shot in the head. The bullet entered his left temple
and went through his eye cavity, blinding his left eye. It exited
through the middle of his forehead. He passed out but later told
a friend he had played dead. Marins died in 1973.
3. Fred "Cedar Grove Bob" Nauyoks never got
his foot off the bar stool. A .32 slug was fired into his head
and severed his brain stem, causing instantaneous death. His
arm remained on the bar -- a cigarette burning between his fingers.
4. Jim Oliver, the bartender, apparently threw an empty
beer bottle at the intruders and turned away from them. He was
hit in the back with a blast from a 12 gauge shotgun, which severed
his spinal cord, killing him. "The bartender was snapped
in half by that shotgun charge," said Carl Matonak, a juror
in the 1967 trial.
