Mr. Griffin.

Did you continue south ?

Mr. Croy.

I continued south.

Mr. Griffin.

How did you proceed to your home from there?

Mr. Croy.

Well, I didn't go home. I went to eat.

Mr. Griffin.

Where did you go to eat?

Mr. Croy.

Austin Barbecue.

Mr. Griffin.

Where is that located?

Mr. Croy.

On the corner of Hampton and Illinois.

Mr. Griffin.

How did you get to Hampton and Illinois?

Mr. Croy.

From Zangs to Illinois.

Mr. Griffin.

Then what direction?

Mr. Croy.

West.

Mr. Griffin.

Is that left or right?

Mr. Croy.

It is a right.

Mr. Griffin.

Then how far up Illinois to Hampton?

Mr. Croy.

Oh, I would say a long ways. It is a good stretch. Zangs Place is about the 300 or 400 block and Illinois intersects at about the 2100 or 2200 block.

Mr. Griffin.

How far driving was it from the Texas Theatre to this place that you had dinner or lunch ?

Mr. Croy.

Well, it is about three-quarters of a mile from my house, so it is 3 miles from there, so about 2 1/3 miles.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, from the diner what route did you drive to your house?

Mr. Croy.

Straight up Illinois, west on Illinois.

Mr. Griffin.

Is your house on Illinois?

Mr. Croy.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you know what time you arrived at the diner?

Mr. Croy.

No; I don't.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you see anybody there that you knew ?

Mr. Croy.

My wife.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you have an appointment to meet your wife there?

Mr. Croy.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

What time was your appointment?

Mr. Croy.

Well, I saw her downtown and I was supposed to have gone right straight over there. I was supposed to have gone by my mother's, and I got detoured down at Tippit, and I was a little bit late, and she was a little mad.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you recall what time you were supposed to meet her?

Mr. Croy.

No; I just saw her downtown, and we were going to eat. She was in her car.

Mr. Griffin.

Where did you see her downtown? Where were you and she when you saw each other ?

Mr. Croy.

At the courthouse. She pulled up beside me. I asked if anybody needed me there, and they said, "No," and here she comes and I said, "Do you want to get something to eat ?" And she said, "Yes."

Mr. Griffin.

You said you would be right there?

Mr. Croy.

I was going to change my uniform and my clothes were over at my mother's and dad's.

Mr. Griffin.

So then as you drove out to change your clothes, what did you do? Did you hear something? How did you happen to get over to Tippit's place on the way home?

Mr. Croy.

I was on the corner of Zangs and Colorado on my way to my mother's and dad's house at that particular time.

Mr. Griffin.

Why were you going to change your clothes at your mother's and dad's house? Did you live at your mother's and dad's house at that particular time?

Mr. Croy.

Yes. I did for about that 2 weeks.

Mr. Griffin.

Where was your mother's and dad's house from the place that you had dinner?

Mr. Croy.

It is quite a ways. It is about 3 or 4 miles.

Mr. Griffin.

How did you go from where you had your lunch or dinner to your mother's and dad's house?

Mr. Croy.

Straight out north on Hampton.
