(Testimony of Mrs. Lee Harvey , Edith Whitworth, Oswald)
Mr. Mckenzie.
Where did she tell him to go?
Mrs. Hunter.
Well, now, I don't know, but it Was back down east on Irving Boulevard.
Mrs. Whitworth.
There was a gunsmith or a sports shop or something back down there.
Mrs. Hunter.
There was a sport shop down there where she showed him to go. I remember that much of it.
Mr. Mckenzie.
You said this man got out of the car and came to the other door, the door back to the back?
Mrs. Whitworth.
He came to the west door.
Mrs. Hunter.
I believe if I could draw a picture of it I could explain it better that way.
[The witness proceeded to draw while testifying.] There's a partition right here and there are table and chairs right back in here, and over here is where her telephone is and where her table and there's a little counter right back in here, right back down this way, and right back here was the gunsmith where he had that leased, and all of this back here was furniture and this partition over here these little tables and chairs over here that looked kinda like a care where you would sit, at the tables and all. Over here, all there was was used clothes and things.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Where is the door?
Mrs. Hunter.
Now, this is a door where I was sitting in the chair right here looking out and he come in by this door right over here and come up to where her counter was. I was sitting right here in the chair and she comes back out here and looks down this way and showed him which way to go to where this gunsmith was and when he goes back to the car and put what he had in his hand--he went back to the car for the purpose of that, and when he come back in, he come back in this way. When she got out with the children, she come in this door right here that I had got up and opened after I sat down there.
Mr. Mckenzie.
That would be the east door?
Mrs. Hunter.
Well, yes; I guess so, and she walked on around and I just sat back down and I didn't pay her any attention or anything and they had gone back into the back here and she walked on along right along in here and the little girl was pulling, hanging on to her dress tail and she either told her to be quiet or said "shhh" or something like that, and that is the only thing that I heard the woman say.
Well, he goes back and goes back and gets in the car and she followed him out--she put the little girl in the car, then she got in the car, and he didn't offer to help her no way putting the babies in the car and he was talking to her and looking back down this way and he turned and when he pointed, I said, "You can't go back down that way, it's a one way street. You will have to go up here to the red light and turn to your left and come back around."
Mr. Mckenzie.
When you told him that, where were you standing?
Mrs. Hunter.
I was standing right in this door here.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Right at the curb?
Mrs. Hunter.
No; the car was--let's say it was about like this, because there is a porch or a thing with a top over it, you know, and he catercornered down this way and I was right over here [indicating].
Mr. Mckenzie.
Now, at that time when you were standing in the doorway and he had gotton in the car and you told him he could not go that way, where was Mrs. Oswald sitting?
Mrs. Hunter.
She was in the car by him and the little girl was standing up in the seat between them and she had the tiny baby in her hands.
Mr. Mckenzie.
And was it a two-door automobile or a four-door automobile?
Mrs. Hunter.
Well, I wouldn't say as to that, but I believe it was a two-door, but I wouldn't swear to it.
Mr. Mckenzie.
And he was behind the wheel?
Mrs. Hunter.
Yes.
Mr. Mckenzie.
And she was sitting next to him?
Mrs. Hunter.
Yes.
Mr. Mckenzie.
With the child between them?
Mrs. Hunter.
Yes.
