(Testimony of Mrs. Charlie Virginia Davis)
Mr. Belin.
Now I hand you what is Deposition Exhibit 3, and ask you to state if your signature appears on Deposition Exhibit 3?
Mrs. Davis.
That's right.
Mr. Belin.
This appears to be an affidavit dated December 1, 1963, and I would like you to read the statement if you would.
Mrs. Davis.
(Reads statement.)
Mr. Belin.
You have now had an opportunity to read over Virginia Davis Deposition Exhibit 3, is that correct?
Mrs. Davis.
That's right.
Mr. Belin.
Is there anything on that statement that is not accurate?
Mrs. Davis.
As I recall, this is all right on that statement.
Mr. Belin.
Pardon?
Mrs. Davis.
I recall that is all right on that statement.
Mr. Belin.
Is there anything on that statement that is not accurate, to the best of your knowledge?
Mrs. Davis.
(indicating no with head)
Mr. Belin.
You are nodding your head no?
Mrs. Davis.
Not that I recall.
Mr. Belin.
Now, in this statement it says that you and your sister-in-law were lying on the bed with the two children when you heard a loud bang, and immediately following the first report there was another loud bang and you jumped up and ran to the front door? Is that correct?
Mrs. Davis.
That's right.
Mr. Belin.
Then it says, "When we got to the door and went out on the porch, I saw a man who I later that day identified at the Dallas Police Department." Is that correct?
Mrs. Davis.
That's right.
Mr. Belin.
Now, according to this statement, you saw the man when you first got to the door and went out on the porch? Now, did you see him then, or did you see him----
Mrs. Davis.
We saw him cut across after he had shot the policeman. We saw him cut across our yard, and that is the last we saw of him.
Mr. Belin.
Well, now, you actually didn't see him shoot the policeman, did you?
Mrs. Davis.
No, sir.
Mr. Belin.
You saw---just saw the man with the gun?
Mrs. Davis.
I just saw the man with the gun cutting across the yard.
Mr. Belin.
After you heard some shots
Mrs. Davis.
After I heard the two shots.
Mr. Belin.
Now, about how soon after you heard the two shots did you get to the door?
Mrs. Davis.
Well, we didn't even put on our shoes. We just run to the front door.
Mr. Belin.
Was it a matter of seconds or a matter of minutes?
Mrs. Davis.
A matter of seconds.
Mr. Belin.
When you got there, you opened the door, and what did you see?
Mrs. Davis.
We saw this boy or man cut across the yard.
Mr. Belin.
All right, and he had a revolver in his hand?
Mrs. Davis.
That is right.
Mr. Belin.
In his right hand or left hand?
Mrs. Davis.
In his right.
Mr. Belin.
This statement goes on to say that "The man had a revolver in his left hand and was shaking the shells out of it into his right hand." Is that right or wrong?
Mrs. Davis.
Wrong.
Mr. Belin.
It was the other way around?
Mrs. Davis.
It was the other way around.
Mr. Belin.
You got to the door and you opened the door, and what did you see now?
Mrs. Davis.
We saw this boy cut across our yard unloading the shells out of his gun.
Mr. Belin.
Then what did you do?
