(Testimony of )

Mr. Mcwatters.
Well, the location was between Poydras and Lamar Street.
In other words, I would say closer to Lamar than to Poydras.
Mr. Ball.
At that point he got off the bus?
Mr. Mcwatters.
He got off the bus.
Mr. Ball.
And you gave him a transfer?
Mr. Mcwatters.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
And you have marked that "R", is that correct?
Mr. Mcwatters.
That is right, yes.
Mr. Ball.
There is another map I would like to show you that hasn't been marked yet as a Commission Exhibit, and I will have that marked as 376, a map of Dallas.
You have already marked on this map, haven't you, or it has been marked in advance then by someone.
(The map referred to was marked Commission's Exhibit No. 376 and received in evidence.)
Mr. Mcwatters.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
Now, take a look at this map and tell me if that map, the blue line on the map, indicates your route on that day, where you started in northeast Dallas?
Mr. Mcwatters.
Yes, that is the original starting line there.
Mr. Ball.
What is the street?
Mr. Mcwatters.
I believe--I can't even see that small print on that. That is Ellsworth and Anita, that is where it is coming back there.
Mr. Ball.
Ellsworth and Anita, and then you proceeded downtown along that course, did you?
Mr. Mcwatters.
Yes, sir. This is Lakewood shopping center.
Mr. Ball.
Do you have an alternative route through there?
Mr. Mcwatters.
No, in other words, that is where the main thoroughfare starts right there at Gaston Avenue. Gaston right here which is the main street when you leave this shopping center.
Mr. Ball.
You went down Gaston to Pacific?
Mr. Mcwatters.
Went down Gaston to, let's see this is Hawkins Street right here.
Mr. Ball.
Then you went left on Hawkins to Elm?
Mr. Mcwatters.
To Elm Street, yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Then you went on Elm.
Mr. Mcwatters.
Went from Elm to, this would be Houston Street.
Mr. Ball.
Turned on Houston Street viaduct?
Mr. Mcwatters.
Left on Houston Street.
Mr. Ball.
To Marsalis?
Mr. Mcwatters.
In other words, this is the Houston Street viaduct and this is Marsalis where you turn and come off Houston Street viaduct.
Mr. Ball.
Then you go south how far?
Mr. Mcwatters.
Go south all the way to, let's see, it is Ann Arbor. This is all Marsalis right here.
Mr. Ball.
A straight run south?
Mr. Mcwatters.
Straight run.
Mr. Ball.
Then you make a turn and go back?
Mr. Mcwatters.
I make a turn, in other words, on Ann Arbor and in other words, just circle, make a loop, just circle right around this little shopping center here.
Mr. Ball.
And go back.
Mr. Mcwatters.
And right back down Marsalis.
Mr. Ball.
Marsalis is how far from Beckley?
Mr. Mcwatters.
Marsalis is, let's see--
Mr. Ball.
This is Beckley here?
Mr. Mcwatters.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
You can count the streets there, can you?
Mr. Mcwatters.
In other words, it would be seven blocks.
Mr. Ball.
Seven blocks, Beckley is seven blocks west of Marsalis, is that correct?
