(Testimony of Frank E. Reilly)

Mr. Reilly.
I wouldn't know it---their name---I don't even know their name only by seeing them. I do go in there in the office once in a while to put in lamps.
Mr. BALL. Do you know the name of Skelton, isn't there a fellow named Skelton there?
Mr. Reilly.
No; I don't.
Mr. Ball.
And a man named Miller?
Mr. Reilly.
No.
Mr. Ball.
Were you all standing at about the same location?
Mr. Reilly.
All right close together.
Mr. Ball.
Were there any police officers there?
Mr. Reilly.
One behind me.
Mr. Ball.
One behind you?
Mr. Reilly.
He was standing back close to the tracks.
Mr. Ball.
That would be where?
Mr. Reilly.
About 8 or 10 feet back of us.
Mr. Ball.
Were there any other police officers there?
Mr. Reilly.
On the far side.
Mr. Ball.
What do you mean by "far side"?
Mr. Reilly.
Up to the side of where the tracks are on the west side.
Mr. BALL. It would be west of where you are standing---you put a mark down and show me where the two police officers were standing, as you remember it.
Mr. Reilly.
Now, this is all tracks over here.
Mr. Ball.
All tracks along the railroad overpass?
Mr. Reilly.
Yes; these are all tracks in here. One of them was standing behind me and one of them was standing back around here back along here, but just how far back, I don't know.
Mr. BALL Put a mark down there for me where the two police officers were standing.
Mr. REILLY. I have an idea one of them was standing here, and for sure, I don't know.
Mr. Ball.
Where was the other one standing?
Mr. Reilly.
He was on the far side, but I didn't see him.
Mr. Ball.
Well, mark that "8."
Mr. Reilly.
He was on the far side--- and how far back---I don't know.
Mr. Ball.
What do you mean by "far side"? Do you mean he was south of here.
Mr. Reilly.
No; he was west of me.

Mr. BALL. You see on the map, it's marked "Elm, Main and Commerce"--- this other police officer was near what?
Mr. REILLY. I wouldn't know because I wasn't facing him and there was two of them up there.
Mr. Ball.
Back; by "far side" you mean that he was south of you?
Mr. Reilly.
No; he was west of me---you see, this place is east and west--- these streets.
Mr. Ball.
But the railroad overpass goes north and south?
Mr. Reilly.
Yes; north and south.
Mr. Ball.
Then, if he was west of you, he would be behind you?
Mr. Reilly.
Yes; behind me.
Mr. Ball.
Were there two police officers behind you?
Mr. Reilly.
Yes; there was two of them--both of them---one close and one here---
Mr. BALL. Listen to the question---there were two police officers there, was there?
Mr. REILLY. Yes.
Mr. Ball.
Were they both behind you?
Mr. Reilly.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
One was closer than the other one?
Mr. Reilly.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
How close was the one that was closer to you?
Mr. Reilly.
I have an idea about 8 or 10 feet.
