(Testimony of Gertrude Hunter)

Mrs. Hunter.
mind because I was standing there watching some women coming down the street.
Mr. Liebeler.
When you say he was going to go back there---you mean in the direction of Dallas, don't you?
Mrs. Hunter.
That's what I would figure, because he would have to turn, unless he thought he was going to turn and go back down Jefferson, if he come in Jefferson, but I don't know that he come in Jefferson. He couldn't have done that--he would have gotten a ticket for that.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, let's see if we can establish it between ourselves here, first, for this discussion, which way Irving Boulevard runs. When you come toward Irving from Dallas, it runs--Irving Boulevard runs in the direction away from Dallas, doesn't it, toward the west?
Mrs. Hunter.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, the man got in the car and he drove west in the direction of the traffic down Irving Boulevard?
Mrs. Hunter.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
And turned at the red light on Main Street?
Mrs. Hunter.
He turned left.
Mr. Liebeler.
He turned left at the intersection of Main and Irving Boulevard?
Mrs. Hunter.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
And that's the last you saw of the car?
Mrs. Hunter.
That's the last I seen of it.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did this man seem to have any difficulty driving the car as far as you could tell?
Mrs. Hunter.
No; not that I could tell.
Mr. Liebeler.
You have discussed this whole question, I am sure, with Mrs. Whitworth from time to time since it happened, haven't you?
Mrs. Hunter.
Well, not too much. When they come on television and we noticed who it was--I don't know- let me see if I can remember the first time I seen him on television--I wasn't watching it when the President got killed and I didn't know anything about it until way after it happened.
Mr. Liebeler.
When did you first get the idea that those people that had been in the store were the Oswalds?
Mrs. Hunter.
When I seen them on television, and I just says to whatever was sitting there, I said, "That man was down in the furniture store the other day."
Mr. Liebeler.
Who was it in the room?
Mrs. Hunter.
Well, it was just one of the kids I don't know--I forgot now which one of them it was, but we were sitting in the house and I said, "That man on television was down at the furniture store the other day," and it was after he got killed that they showed her, I believe, and I recognized her.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you recognize these people as soon as you saw them and prior to the time you discussed it with Mrs. Whitworth?
Mrs. Hunter.
Well, now, I don't know just how soon--I couldn't be positive just how quick now--I done forgot--that I talked to her after that, but it was after I seen him on television that we discussed it a little bit and all, because after they fixed her up, she was pretty and we did discuss that--the difference she looks now and her down there in the store.
Mr. Liebeler.
You mean she does---you think she does look different now?
Mrs. Hunter.
Oh, yes; she's pretty now. She looked awful down there in that store.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you think you would recognize her as the same person if you saw her again?
Mrs. Hunter.
I doubt it--very seriously.
Mr. Liebeler.
You don't think you would recognize her?
Mrs. Hunter.
No; I sure don't, not from the way she looked in that store that day and the way she looks now. Now, that's how much difference there was and I generally notice anyone by their eyes quicker than anything else.
Mr. Liebeler.
When did you notice that she looked different?
Mrs. Hunter.
Oh--it was---
Mr. Liebeler.
Is that when you saw her on television after the assassination?
