"Q. Tell us what happened when you got there?
"A. When I got there he let me in and he started to tell me to go with him back to his Air Force base and I told him I couldn't, and he got all upset after I told him I couldn't go. After I told him I couldn't go he decided he wasn't that sick, and I told him no. We started 'rasseling and he took my keys from me and threw them over on the other side of the bed. He pushed me down on the bed and we were 'rasseling and
he managed to take off my shoes and my skirt; he didn't take off my top, but he forced me to have sex with him.
"Q. What happened after that, Pamela?
"A. He heard someone coming to the room and he pushed me off the bed and pushed me in the bathroom and he told me I better not scream; and he went and checked and there was not anyone and came back in and asked why didn't I want to go with him. I told him I couldn't, because of school and I was not ready to leave. He had really got upset then and we went back in the other room and I put on my shoes and got the rest of my stuff in my hand. He had put a chair in front of the door and I sat down in the chair, and I kept telling him I just couldn't go with him and he started crying. And he told me he had money and he would take care of me and I still told him I couldn't go with him. At the time he was sitting in front of me with the air-conditioner over my head and the cord was hanging down in front of me and I thought I could get his attention and run from him, but it wouldn't come down. We sat there and he kept saying 'come on and go with me.' Then he moved away and sat on the farther side of the bed and that is when I ran out.
"Q. Where did you run?
"A. To the car.
"Q. Whose car was that, Pamela?
"A. My brother's car.
"Q. Is this place, the Travel Motor Lodge, is that here in Houston County, Alabama?
"A. Yes.
"Q. When you got to the car, what happened then?
"A. He was right behind me and I grabbed the steering wheel and tried to hold on and he pulled me and I fell and he dragged me and was kicking me.
"Q. What did you do to try to stop him from dragging you back in?
"A. I was kicking and holding on.
"Q. What did you hold on to?
"A. I was holding on to the bumper of the car.
"Q. Did you try to scream and cry out?
"A. Yes, and when I got back in the room, he started hitting me with his fist in the head, and I fell and couldn't think straight. When I was on the floor I heard him ripping up something and he started tying up ankles with the sheets off the bed. And he tied up my arms and tied up my mouth and he told me not to scream. He said why did I scream 'you didn't have to scream.' And then he pulled the mattress down on top of me, I was on the floor, and he went outside and I heard the car crank up and he backed the car up to the door and the trunk was up and he came back in and he said, I'm sorry, but you are going to have to ride in the trunk. I tried to scream and he threw me on the bed and stuck his finger in my mouth and told me not to scream. I tried to scream again and he put his finger in my nose and he said, "I warned you not to scream and he put me in the trunk and closed the door closed the trunk and drove away. And he didn't let me out until two hours after that, on some dirt road, in the country.
"Q. He was on a dirt road when he opened the trunk?
"A. Yes, it was somewhere in the country.
"Q. After he opened the trunk, what did he do then?
"A. He started questioning me, asking me why did I scream. While I was in the trunk, he kept hollering back to me; I could hear him, asking why did I scream. He said I didn't have to scream. He just kept asking me the same questions. He said 'what are you going to do' and I told him I didn't know. I asked him to untie my wrists because my wrists were being cut and he untied me and let me out the trunk, but I was still tied by the ankles.
"Q. After he let you out of the trunk, where did he put you?
"A. Sit in the car.
"Q. Did he put anything over you at that time?
"A. No.
"Q. Were you still tied at that time?
"A. Yes.
"Q. And how were you tied, Pamela?
"A. My arms were behind me and my feet were tied together. He made me lean towards him and he dared me to get over close to the doorknob of the car, or else. That is all he would say 'or else.' He would never tell me what he would do.
"Q. That first night, where did he take you to then?
"A. The Shamrock Motel, In Mississippi.
"Q. Was it a hotel or motel?
"A. A motel.
"Q. How did he get you to check in the motel?
"A. He didn't, he parked the car where he could walk to the door, and there was a window where he could look right out, and I was still tied up. It was late and the man, you know, it took him a while to get there. He never did look in the car to see me. When he got the room, it was on the front where everything was. He didn't untie me, he just backed the car up to the door and made me walk backwards to the room, so no one could see the things on my arms. When I got in there he tied me to the bed-post.
"Q. Did that leave any kind of burns on you when he tied you up?
"A. Yes.
"Q. Now, he tied you to the bed-post there in the room?
"A. Yes.
"Q. After you left there, where did you go?
"A. We didn't stop any more except to eat and he would cover me up with a blanket so nobody could see me when he stopped, and see that I was tied up. When he stopped to get gas, he would put me back in the trunk and dare me to say anything. I didn't say nothing, because I was scared that he wouldn't let me back out.
"Q. Where did you finally get to after you left Mississippi?
"A. We were in Texas and we stopped at another motel, called the Green Wave and my muscles were hurting so bad, he had to he didn't tie me up no more, because I couldn't do anything, and he didn't do anything bad to me, just watched me, everything I did. He let me call home the next morning. I had begged him to let me call.

"A. No.
