(Testimony of Austin L. Miller)

Mr. Belin.
Would you stand and-be sworn, sir?
Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to give before the President's Commission is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Mr. Miller.
I do.
Mr. Belin.
Would you state your name for the record.
Mr. Miller.
Austin L. Miller.
Mr. Belin.
Where do you live?
Mr. Miller.
1006 Fowl Circle, Mesquite, Tex.
Mr. Belin.
Is that a suburb of Dallas?
Mr. Miller.
Yes; it is just a little town.
Mr. Belin.
How far out of Dallas?
Mr. Miller.
It borders the city limits of Dallas.
Mr. Belin.
How old are you?
Mr. Miller.
Twenty-six
Mr. Belin.
Married?
Mr. Miller.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Did you go to school in Texas?
Mr. Miller.
Yes; I did.
Mr. Belin.
How far did you go to school?
Mr. Miller.
Tenth grade.
Mr. Belin.
Then what did you do?
Mr. Miller.
I quit school and went to work.
Mr. BELIN. Where did you work?
Mr. Miller.
First worked at Titche's, and then for Robertson & King Motor Supply, and from there I went back to Titche's, and then to A. & P. Bakery Co., and then I worked for Presto Delivery Co., and then to Texas-Louisiana Freight Bureau where I am working now.
Mr. Belin.
How long have you been there?
Mr. Miller.
Ever since 1958, January 1958.
Mr. Belin.
What do you do now?

Mr. MILLER. Well, it is a combination job between mail clerk and tariff compiler.
Mr. Belin.
Where were you working on Friday, November 22, 1963, which was the day that President Kennedy came to Dallas?
Mr. Miller.
Texas-Louisiana Freight Bureau.
Mr. Belin.
Where is that located?
Mr. Miller.
215 Union Terminal.
Mr. Belin.
Where is the Union Terminal located?

Mr. MILLER. That is down at---the address they give is 400 South Houston Street, but the book is not the correct address, but that is what they use. Because 400 is the opposite side of the block, and there is a city park there.
Mr. Belin.
What cross street? Would it be near any intersection at all, or not?
Mr. Miller.
On the corner of Houston, and I can't think of the name of that street now, right in front of the Dallas Morning News.
Mr. Belin.
Would it be north or south of Main Street?
Mr. Miller.
It would be south.
Mr. Belin.
How many blocks south of Main Street?
Mr. Miller.
Four blocks.
Mr. Belin.
Four blocks south of Main Street on Houston?
Mr. Miller.
Right.
Mr. BELIN. All right, where were you at about the time the motorcade came by?
Mr. MILLER. I was standing on the top of the triple underpass on the Main Street side.
Mr. BELIN. Now when you say triple underpass, there are actually three underpasses there?
Mr. MILLER. Yes. They are sitting side by side. It is Main, Commerce, and Elm. I was over Elm instead of Main Street. I was over Elm Street.
Mr. Belin.
Now there is a place where the railroad tracks are, and that is the first. Is it all railroad tracks, or part railroad tracks and part freeway?
