much attention to the man, you see, just used to see him every day, but
then I kind of looked down the street, saw this, someone, that looked
to me like he was going west, now, I couldn't exactly say whether he
was going west or was in the process of turning around, but he was
facing west when I saw him.
Mr. BELIN. All right.
Mr. SCOGGINS. And he was--he stopped there.
Mr. BELIN. Let me ask you this now. When you first saw this man, had
the police car stopped or not?
Mr. SCOGGINS. Yes; he stopped. When I saw he stopped, then I looked
to see why he was stopping, you see, and I saw this man with a
light-colored jacket on.
Mr. BELIN. Now, you saw a man with a light-colored jacket. With
relation to the police car, was the man east of the police car, west of

Mr. SCOGGINS. Just a little east is the best I can remember.
Mr. BELIN. He was a little bit east of the police car?
Mr. SCOGGINS. Yes; he was just a little bit forward. The police car
headed east and he was a little bit, maybe not more than the front end
of the car.
Mr. BELIN. You thought the man was at the front end of the car?
Mr. SCOGGINS. Yes; approximately.
Mr. BELIN. But by that you mean the front wheel or front bumper area?
Mr. SCOGGINS. Yes.

Mr. BELIN. When you first saw him, I believe you said you saw the man's
face, or did you not say that?

when he passed the cab.

Mr. SCOGGINS. Well, he was facing west.
Mr. BELIN. You mean he was facing west when you first saw him?
