Mr. Belin.

that I went out. They were approximately in this position here, so I don't know how you would describe that.
Mr. BELIN. You are looking now at a first floor plan or diagram of the Texas School Book Depository, and you have pointed to a position where you encountered Bill Lovelady and Mr. Bill Shelley?
Miss ADAMS. That's correct.

Mr. Belin.

It would be slightly east of the front of the east elevator, and probably as far south as the length of the elevator, is that correct?
Miss ADAMS. Yes, sir.

Mr. BELIN. I have a document here called Commission's Exhibit No. 496, which includes a diagram of the first floor, and there is a No. 7 and a circle on it, and I have pointed to a place marked No. 7 on the diagram. Is that correct?
Miss ADAMS. That is approximate.
Mr. BELIN. Between the time you got off the stairs and the time you got to this point when you say you encountered them, which was somewhat to the south and a little bit east of the front of the east elevator, did you see any other employees there?
Miss ADAMS. No, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Any other people prior to the time you saw them?
Miss ADAMS. No, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Now when you were running down the stairs on your trip down the stairs, did you hear anyone using the Stairs?
Miss ADAMS. No, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Did you hear anyone calling for an elevator?
Miss ADAMS. No, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Did you see the foreman, Roy Truly? Did you see the superintendent of the warehouse, Roy S. Truly?
Miss ADAMS. No, sir; I did not.

Mr. Belin.

What about any motorcycle police officers?
Miss ADAMS. No, sir.

Mr. BELIN. Now what did you do after you encountered Mr. Shelley and Mr. Lovelady?
Miss ADAMS. I said I believed the President was shot.

Mr. Belin.

Do you remember what they said?
Miss ADAMS. Nothing.

Mr. Belin.

Then what did you do?
Miss ADAMS. I proceeded out to the Houston Street dock.

Mr. BELIN. That would be on this same diagram? It is marked Houston Street dock, and you went through what would be the north door, which is towards the rear of the first floor, is that correct?
And down some stairs towards the rear of the dock?
Miss ADAMS. That's correct.

Mr. Belin.

Where did you go from there?
Miss ADAMS. I proceeded--which way is east and west?

Mr. Belin.

East is here. East is towards Houston, and west is towards the railroad tracks. You went east or west? Towards the railroad tracks or towards Houston Street?
Miss ADAMS. I went west towards the tracks.

Mr. Belin.

How far west did you go?
Miss ADAMS. I went approximately 2 yards within the tracks and there was an officer standing there, and he said, "Get back to the building." And I said, "But I work here."
And he said, "That is tough, get back." I said, "Well, was the President shot?" And he said, "I don't know. Go back." And I said, "All right."

Mr. Belin.

Then what did you do?
Miss ADAMS. I went back, only I went southwest.
Mr. BELIN. Well, did you come back by way of the street, or did you come back the same entrance you went out?
