General WALKER. At one end is Avondale, which runs into Turtle Creek going downhill east, and at the other end it goes into the parking lot of the church. As you enter that parking lot from my alley, if you turn directly right, you go down the church alley going into Turtle Creek, and that is where the car was going down that I referred to, and it was just making the turn out of. the church alley.

Mr. Liebeler.

The alley that runs into Turtle Creek?
General WALKER. No; directly from the church alley into the Turtle Creek main boulevard. Now, there is another alley right at the entrance of my alley to the church parking lot, which runs straight west practically-to Oak Lawn. Hardly anybody knows it is there, because you have to ease down it with an automobile, it is so narrow. And as I know, only garbage trucks use it. I have been up and down it once or twice only.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now when you got that pistol, did you go out the back door of your house?
General WALKER. I went out the back door.

Mr. Liebeler.

You went into the alley?
General WALKER. I went about halfway out to the alley.

Mr. Liebeler.

From that point you could observe this car that was just turning?
General WALKER. No, Sir. I observed that--it was already gone I observed that from the window upstairs as I came down with the pistol. I could see out the south window, front and left.

Mr. Liebeler.

I would imagine that you assumed that that car had gone from the church parking lot down the alley and was at that point entering Turtle Creek Boulevard?
General WALKER. That is correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you see which direction it turned?
General WALKER. Left, going north.

Mr. Liebeler.

Were you able to make any kind of identification of the automobile at all?
General WALKER. None at all.

Mr. Liebeler.

Were you able to see how many people were in it?
General WALKER. No, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did it seem to be leaving in a hurry, or was it just debarking?
General WALKER. There was no way to tell, because from the upstair's windows you were looking through trees at the car and I probably wouldn't have seen it unless I had seen the two taillights of it. It only has to go a few feet and it is beyond the bank where you can hardly see.

Mr. Liebeler.

I show you a photograph which is a copy of a photograph that has been marked Commission Exhibit No. 1008, and ask you if you can identify that picture, or tell us what is portrayed in it.
General WALKER. Well, it looks like an old wornout picture of the wall beside my desk and the shothole as it appeared. It is not really a picture. They used, evidently had plastered this silver foil-type peculiar stuff on the wall previously and it is still there.

Mr. Liebeler.

But this does show the hole in the wall over your desk that was made by the bullet that struck the wall; is that correct?
General WALKER. As far as I can identify it, that is what it looks like. I could take the picture and probably match it up with those flowers. It is a flower arrangement on this silver foil on the wall.

Mr. Liebeler.

That looks like your wallpaper, doesn't it?
General WALKER. Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

I show you a copy of a picture that has been marked as Commission Exhibit No. 1007, and ask you if you can recognize what is shown in that picture.
General WATTS. Can we go off the record a minute?

Mr. Liebeler.

Certainly.
(Discussion off the record.)
General WALKER. Yes; I can identify this picture.

Mr. Liebeler.

What is it, generally?
