(Testimony of Buell Wesley Frazier)

Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
From the first day?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
And you still do?
Mr. FRAZIER, Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Do you own a car?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Your own car?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
You had it, did you, when you started to work?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Still have it?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
And you have been since September driving that car from your sister's home in Irving over to the Texas School Book Depository?
Mr. Frazier.
Correct.
Mr. Ball.
Go there in the morning?
Mr. Frazier.
Right.
Mr. Ball.
What time do you get to work?
Mr. Frazier.
I get there around 8 o'clock.
Mr. Ball.
When do you quit?
Mr. Frazier.
I quit at 4:45.
Mr. Ball.
Then you drive home?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
How long for lunch?
Mr. Frazier.
45 minutes.
Mr. Ball.
Do all the employees have the same lunch hour?
Mr. Frazier.
Now, the ones who work down there filling book orders around where I work now, so we all work the same hours. Some people work up there in the offices, I hear that they come in a little bit later. Now, I don't know for sure but I see primarily the ones who does the same type of work I do, we all start the same time and work the same time.
Mr. Ball.
Those are the people who fill the orders?
Mr. Frazier.
Right.
Mr. Ball.
How far is it in miles from your sister's home to Texas School Book Depository?
Mr. Frazier.
It is roughly around 15 miles.
Mr. Ball.
And did you take the same route every day?
Mr. Frazier.
You mean since I have been going over there; since the first day?
Mr. Ball.
That is right.
Mr. Frazier.
Up to now?
Mr. Ball.
Yes, right.
Mr. Frazier.
No, sir; I didn't.
You see, I found two ways, you can more judge by the traffic and you can go some days one way and the traffic will be easier than others, but most times I use just one route.
Mr. Ball.
What route did you usually use?
Mr. Frazier.
Used one like you go down from the house there.
Mr. Ball.
Yes.
Mr. Frazier.
Go down and right Storey Road, see Fifth Street is just one block off Storey Road, and just go down and hit Storey Road and stay on it until you come to Stemmons Freeway and you stay right on Stemmons until you come right on into Dallas there.
Mr. Ball.
About what length of time does it take you to go from your sister's home to work in the morning?
Mr. Frazier.
Usually, I usually leave not any later than 7:25. I usually try to leave about 7:20, and if you leave at 7:20. you usually get around there, by the time you get down to the parking lot now it is usually pretty close to 5 minutes to 8 and that gives you enough time to walk to the Book Depository, put up your lunch and take off your coat.
Mr. Ball.
Did you have a place to park your car?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir.
