(Testimony of Floyd Guy Davis)

Mr. Davis.
time. Mr. Slack come to me and was complaining about someone shooting his target.
So there was two young fellows, I can remember the approximate height of them but I don't remember what their faces looked like, that were in booth don't know whether you have talked to Mr. Charlie Brown in the last 2 weeks or not on this----
Mr. Liebeler.
Mr. Brown, the FBI agent, yes.
Mr. Davis.
There was a fellow with a black beard in that booth No. 7, at the same time. I remember him because he was outstanding, you know, and I went to these fellows in booth No. 8, and was giving them heck about shooting at the wrong target. And this other fellow, I remember him because he wouldn't say anything to me. I tried to speak to him two or three different occasions, because he had a lot of guns, and I thought he would be a good customer.
Mr. Liebeler.
The fellow with the beard?
Mr. Davis.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
He was how tall, approximately?
Mr. Davis.
He was over 6 feet and he weighed a good 250 pounds. A big bruiser.
Mr. Liebeler.
I think we can assume that was not Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. Davis.
They were trying to find him. Charlie Brown was trying to find this person, and 2 weeks ago on a Sunday morning I saw him in an automobile out on Davis, I believe it was.
Mr. Liebeler.
The big fellow with the beard?
Mr. Davis.
The big fellow there with the beard. And I got the license number on the car and the type of car it was and called it into the office.
I haven't heard anything from Mr. Brown since then, whether he got the information, but I am sure he did when I turned it into the office.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now let's review this. Mr. Slack was in booth No. 9, is ,that correct?
Mr. Davis.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
This big fellow was in booth No. 7?
Mr. Davis.
Right. And there was the two young fellows in booth No. 8. One of them was 5 foot 6 or 5 foot 7, somewhere in that vicinity, and the other one was about 6 foot, and he was blackheaded.
I can remember that, but as far as remembering their faces, with that turkey shoot we had 225 people that day, I can't remember what they looked like.
Mr. Liebeler.
You say that these two fellows, one was approximately 6 feet tall or over, is that correct?
Mr. Davis.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Was heavy-set or slender?
Mr. Davis.
No; he wasn't particularly heavy-set, he was just a medium build.
Mr. Liebeler.
He was not of a light build, however?
Mr. Davis.
No; he wasn't. He was just about my size. I would say 160 to 170 pounds.
Mr. Liebeler.
How tall are you?
Mr. Davis.
Six-one.
Mr. Liebeler.
And you weigh?
Mr. Davis.
I weigh about 160, but I was a little bit heavier about that time.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you determine which of the fellows was shooting at Mr. Slack's target?
Mr. Davis.
No, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you speak to both of them or all three of them?
Mr. Mr.
DAVIS. Not as an individual. I spoke to the group to be sure they were firing at the right target and to watch where they were facing because they were shooting at the wrong target.
Mr. Liebeler.
This Mr. Slack, now then, believes that one of the two of these fellows could have been Lee Harvey Oswald, is that right?
Mr. Davis.
Yes; that's right.
Mr. Liebeler.
Mr. Slack has told you that?
