Mr. Specter.

why we were so dumb that day unless it was just the sequence of events, that everything was just happening so fast we really didn't even think, but we couldn't leave. He kept standing in front of the door and he would let a cameraman in or someone to interview us and they were shooting things in our faces, and he wouldn't let us out.

Mr. Specter.

Who was interviewing you---newspaper reporters?

Mrs. Hill.

Newspaper reporters and radio and TV people and a man from---- a man named Coker John, or John Coker.

Mr. Specter.

From where?

Mrs. HILL. As I get it, he is a sort of freelance writer, and I think he was on an assignment then. He came out---I'm not sure---I thought it was for Life or Post, but he came in there and he was shooting pictures for-I think he was shooting them for TV, but he came out to the house about 2 weeks later with this bunch of men, about four of them, three or four came out, and that's the second time I saw him, because he said, "You remember me. I saw you in the pressroom that day."

Mr. Specter.

Is that Miss Hill or Mrs. Hill?
Mrs. HILL. It is Mrs. Hill, and he said "I saw you in the pressroom that day," and I said, "Yes." I remembered him because I saw him more than any---now, I don't remember where I am here.

Mr. Specter.

You were telling me about what happened to you at the county courthouse, and then you digressed from that to tell me about John coming to see you in your home. Let's go back to the county courthouse and let me ask you if you gave an affidavit to the sheriff that day?

Mrs. Hill.

Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. Now, did you talk to anybody from the Federal Government that day?

Mrs. Hill.

Yes.

Mr. Specter.

Whom did you talk to?

Mrs. Hill.

I don't know.

Mr. Specter.

What agency was the man from, if you know?

Mrs. Hill.

Secret Service.
Mr. SPECTER. How many times have you talked to somebody from the Secret Service in this case altogether?
Mrs. HILL. I would say the only time I talked to the Secret Service men was when I was down at the courthouse that afternoon, just before they let us leave, and I think---now, we officially sat down and supposedly were giving a story to the Secret Service men.

Mr. Specter.

And, did they write down what you were telling them?

Mrs. Hill.

I don't think they did.

Mr. Specter.

Did you sign anything?

Mrs. HILL. Oh, well, I signed my statement that I made over in the sheriff's office.
Mr. SPECTER. Then, how about for the Secret Service men, did you sign anything?
Mrs. HILL. No, I don't think we signed anything over there, because they just took us in a little room---

Mr. Specter.

What did you tell the Secret Service men?

Mrs. Hill.

As well as I remember, we talked to so many that day.
Mr. SPECTER. Well, did you tell everybody about the same thing you have told me here today?
Mrs. HILL. Yes, except that I didn't go into that stuff with the shots because no one ever asked me, no one ever detailed it like that, but they were interested that day in those pictures and they got them all from us.

Mr. Specter.

Did you talk with the Secret Service men on any occasion after the events on November 22?

Mrs. Hill.

No.
Mr. SPECTER. Have you ever talked to anybody else from the Federal Government?
Mrs. HILL. The FBI men.
