Mr. BELIN. Those stairs would be in the northwest comer of the building, is that correct?
Miss ADAMS. That's correct.

Mr. Belin.

You took those stairs. Were you walking or running as you went down the stairs?
Miss ADAMS. I was running. We were running.

Mr. Belin.

What kind of shoes did you have on?
Miss ADAMS. Three-inch heels.

Mr. Belin.

You had heels. Now, as you were running down the stairs, did you encounter anyone?
Miss ADAMS. Not during the actual running down the stairs; no, sir.

Mr. BELIN. After you left the Scott Foresman office and went into the stock-room, did you see anyone until you got to the stairs on the fourth floor other than the person you were with?
Miss ADAMS. Outside of our office employees; no.
Mr. BELIN. Would these office employees that you might have seen, all be women?
Miss ADAMS. Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Then you got to the stairs and you started going down the stairs. You went from the fourth floor to the third floor?
Miss ADAMS. That's correct?

Mr. Belin.

Anyone on the stairs then?
Miss ADAMS. No, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Let me ask you this. As you got to the stairs on the fourth floor, did you notice whether or not the elevator was running?
Miss ADAMS. The elevator was not moving.

Mr. Belin.

How do you know it was not moving on some other floor?

Miss ADAMS. Because the cables move when the elevator is moved, and this is evidenced because of a wooden grate.

Mr. Belin.

By that you mean a wooden door with slats in it that you have to lift up to get on the elevator?
Miss ADAMS. Yes.

Mr. Belin.

Did you look to see if the elevator was moving?
Miss ADAMS. It was not; no, sir.

Mr. Belin.

It was not moving?
Miss ADAMS. No.

Mr. Belin.

Did you happen to see where the elevator might have been located?
Miss ADAMS. No, sir.

Mr. Belin.

As you got to the third floor, did you take a look at the elevator again at all, or not, if you remember?
Miss ADAMS. I can't recall.

Mr. BELIN. As you got off the stairs on the third floor, did you see anyone on the third floor?
Miss ADAMS. No, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Then you immediately went to the stairs going down from the third to the second?
Miss ADAMS. That's correct.

Mr. Belin.

As you ran down the stairs, did you see anyone on the stairs?
Miss ADAMS. No, sir.

Mr. BELIN. All right. You got down to the second floor. Did you see anyone by the second floor?
Miss ADAMS. No, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Did you immediately turn and run and keep on running down the stairs towards the first floor?
Miss ADAMS. Yes.

Mr. Belin.

When you got to the bottom of the first floor, did you see anyone there as you entered the first floor from the stairway?
Miss ADAMS. Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Who did you see?
Miss ADAMS. Mr. Bill Shelley and Billy Lovelady.

Mr. Belin.

Where did you see them on the first floor?
Miss ADAMS. Well, this is the stairs, and this is the Houston Street dock
