(Testimony of )

Mr. Ball.
And a photograph of the interior of the bus, I would like to have marked as 374.
And a diagram of the bus itself showing front and side as 375.
(The photograph and diagram referred to were marked Commission Exhibits Nos. 374 and 375, respectively, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Ball.
I will hand you a photograph of the exterior of the bus.
Mr. Mcwatters.
Yes, sir; in other words, that is the same bus number.
Mr. Ball.
That is right.
Mr. Mcwatters.
That is the bus it was.
Mr. Ball.
That is the bus. Number --
Mr. Mcwatters.
433.
Representative Ford.
So admitted.
Mr. Ball.
These are all admitted.
Now, we have this map which is Commission's Exhibit 371. Can You show me your starting point which is where you started your time on Elm and what street?
Mr. Mcwatters.
That is Elm and St. Paul.
Mr. Ball.
Will you mark an "X" there with your black pen, or let's take red pen this time for you, on this same map, here it is right there, that is where you commenced your time, is that right?
Mr. Mcwatters.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
Put an "O" there.
Mr. Mcwatters.
Put an "O" here.
Mr. Ball.
Just circle that intersection.
Mr. Mcwatters.
O.K.
Mr. Ball.
Now, you went along Elm, westerly along Elm?
Mr. Mcwatters.
That is right--
Mr. Ball.
Put a "P" about the place where the man knocked on the window of your door of your bus and got on. Here is Griffin.
Mr. Mcwatters.
This is Griffin right here, mark that with a "P".
Mr. Ball.
And put an "R" at the place where the man got off the bus.
Mr. Mcwatters.
Let's see.
Mr. Ball.
Here is Lamar.
Mr. Mcwatters.
Here is Lamar here. I want to find Poydras.
Mr. Ball.
That is right in here.
Mr. Mcwatters.
That would be, in other words, about the center here would be, in other words, a little bit closer to Lamar than--
Mr. Ball.
Put an "R" there to indicate the approximate position where he got off.
"O" is where you started, so you had better raise those up to Elm. The place he got on and the place he got off.
Perhaps, if you would just draw a line up and put your "R" it would be easier.
Mr. Mcwatters.
On Griffin here now that is where you want--
Mr. Ball.
Where he got on, wherever it was.
Mr. Mcwatters.
Is that where you want the "P"?
Mr. Ball.
That is where he got on?
Mr. Mcwatters.
Yes. O.K. right here.
Mr. Ball.
And where he got off "R".
Mr. Mcwatters.
That is a very short block right in between Poydras and Lamar here.
Mr. Ball.
All right.
Now, let's use the map here. You made your start at St. Paul and Elm didn't you, and went west.
Mr. Mcwatters.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Now, you picked up a man who knocked on the window of your bus at a place in the street that was not a bus stop, is that right?
Mr. Mcwatters.
That is correct.
Mr. Ball.
And its approximate location was where?
Mr. Mcwatters.
At Griffin Street.
Mr. Ball.
And you have marked that as "P"?
Mr. Mcwatters.
Marked that as "P".
Mr. Ball.
That same man stayed on your bus until you got to what location?
