(Testimony of Virginia Louise Davis)

Mr. Liebeler.
Was anyone with him?
Mrs. Davis.
I don't know because he never spoke a word. I don't know if anyone was with him or not, but he did have several guns. When I say several, I mean not one or two. It was three or four, and he paid for each rifle.
Mr. Liebeler.
But you did not see anyone with him?
Mrs. Davis.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
That was Saturday or Sunday, you say?
Mrs. Davis.
It was a Saturday or a Sunday, and we was having turkey. shoots at the time and having several people out there.
Mr. Liebeler.
That is when the man with the beard was there, is that correct?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Was that the same day that the gentleman complained about somebody firing into their target?
Mrs. Davis.
It was. It was the same day they was complaining about the two boys next to him firing into his target.
Mr. Liebeler.
We mean Mr. Slack, do we not?
Mrs. Davis.
Mr. Slack.
Mr. Liebeler.
But you yourself did not see either of these two men who were supposedly firing into Mr. Slack's target?
Mrs. Davis.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
So you did not yourself personally observe any of those gentle men or who was supposed to have been Lee Oswald, is that correct?
Mrs. Davis.
That's right.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you ever observe the rifle that was in the possession of this gentleman who was supposed to be Oswald?
Mrs. Davis.
No; at the time I didn't know one gun from another. Now I can tell you everything they bring in.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you remember whether or not on this Sunday that Mr.. Slack complained that someone was firing into his target, everybody signed into the journal?
Mrs. Davis.
Not everyone, because at the time we didn't have our _fences up. See, we have a fence that is all along the gun range, because there were too many getting on the range without paying.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know whether or not the two men who were supposed to be firing into Mr. Slack's target signed in the journal?
Mrs. Davis.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
You don't know one way or the other, Mrs. Davis?
Mrs. Davis.
I don't know, because the only reason we was having them sign in was to sign them cards to invite them to the next turkey shoot.
Mr. Liebeler.
Would you have seen them at the time they signed it, necessarily, or might someone else?
Mrs. Davis.
Someone might sign in for them.
Mr. Liebeler.
And you would not necessarily have observed these individuals signing in?
Mrs. Davis.
No; because the man who was outstanding, he didn't sign in. I didn't see the man until he walked through the gun range. He didn't walk through the entrance, or I would have seen him.
Mr. Liebeler.
Mr. Davis mentioned the names of Mr. Slack and Mr. Price, and he said that there were some others.
Mrs. Davis.
There was a doctor and his son that was out there that day. They remembered the rifle and they reported that to me before any of it came out in the paper, but I didn't get his name. But I do think that the FBI contacted this doctor.
Mr. Liebeler.
Would you remember his name if I told you it was Dr. Wood? Would that ring a bell with you?
Mrs. Davis.
No, it doesn't. It has been so long ago.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, other than this doctor and Mr. Slack and Mr. Price, do you know of anyone else who said that they thought that they saw Oswald at the range?
Mrs. Davis.
Not that I would take their word for it.
Mr. Liebeler.
Tell us what you mean by that. You must have somebody in
