three shots---three shots," and I said, "I know I heard more. I heard from four to six shots anyway."
He said, "Mrs. Hill, we were standing at the window and we heard more shots also, but we have three wounds and we have three bullets, three shots is all that we are willing to say right now."
Mr. SPECTER. Now, did that Secret Service man try to suggest to you that there were only three shots in any other way than that?

Mrs. Hill.

That's all he said to me. He didn't say, "You have to say three shots"---he didn't tell me what to say.

Mr. Specter.

He didn't try to intimidate you or coerce you in any way?

Mrs. Hill.

No; that's all he said.

Mr. Specter.

All right. Go ahead and tell me what you told Mark Lane.

Mrs. Hill.

I told him--I was asked by them---

Mr. Specter.

Do you know who that Secret Service man was, by the way?

Mrs. Hill.

No; I don't. I don't know--not any name that day except Decker and the President.

Mr. Specter.

All right, go ahead and tell me everything else you said.

Mrs. HILL. Then, he asked me I was asked did I know that a bullet struck at my feet and I said, "No; I didn't." And he said, "What do you think that dust was?" And I said, "I didn't see any dust." And I told Mark Lane that the Times Herald did run a picture in the paper of a concrete scar where a bullet had hit right where we were standing, which is evident to anybody that had an issue of the Times Herald.

Mr. Specter.

Did you see that concrete?

Mrs. Hill.

I didn't go back down there.

Mr. Specter.

Do you know whether or not a bullet did hit that concrete?

Mrs. Hill.

As I say, I saw the picture in the newspaper.
Mr. SPECTER. Aside from seeing it in the newspaper, do you know anything about that?
Mrs. HILL. No; other than what the man said he saw out of the window of the courthouse, the Secret Service man said and it struck at my feet, other than that--I don't know.

Mr. Specter.

What else did you tell Mark Lane?

Mrs. HILL. So, he asked me, "Did you have to stay down there or did you stay of your own accord?" And I said, "No; we had to stay there." He said something-he said, "Were you threatened or something?" And I told him I wasn't threatened, but-he said, "How do you know you were held?" Or something like that, and I said, "Because I tried to leave twice. At one time I saw people I knew on the street and I was going to go down and talk to them and I went down and they came down and got me, and another time I went down when the evening edition of the paper hit the street and two men," and I told him, I did not tell him they were Secret Service men, but they were men from the sheriff's office. There were some kind of deputy or something that came down and took me back and they were not playing. They meant to take me back. They did take my arms and I knew I was going, because I just kept standing on the corner saying, "No; I don't want to go back yet. Please let me stay down here just a little while." They did make us go back in there.

Mr. Specter.

Where were they from?
Mrs. HILL. They were from the sheriff's office, they were just deputies---they weren't FBI or Secret Service.

Mr. Specter.

Was it after that that you gave the affidavit to the sheriff?

Mrs. Hill.

Yes.

Mr. Specter.

What else did you tell Mark Lane?

Mrs. HILL. Well, I told him that my story had already been given, that they had an affidavit down there, and he said, "Were you ever at any time---" I think he said, "Were you ever at any time told not to say something or this, that, and the other," and I said, "The only thing that I was told not to say was to not mention the man running," and he said, "And why?" And I said, "Well, it was an FBI or Secret Service that told me not to, but they came in to me just right after I was taken-I was in there in the pressroom, and
