Mrs. HUNTER. He got in the car and backed out here and he acted like
he was going to turn this way and I said, "Uh-uh, don't go back that
way, that's a one-way street and you will have to go down here to the
red light and turn to the left," and he went down and turned down Main
Street to the left.
Mr. LIEBELER. He went down the street against the traffic, going the
wrong direction?
Mrs. HUNTER. No; he went down with the traffic, down toward Plymouth
Park. I would say he drove west with the one-way traffic. He was going
to go back opposite, and he went on down to the red light on Main
Street and turned to the left. Now, where he went to from there, I
don't know. I didn't pay him any mind because I was standing there
watching some women coming down the street.
Mr. LIEBELER. When you say he was going to go back there--you mean in
the direction of Dallas, don't you?
Mrs. HUNTER. That's what I would figure, because he would have to turn,
unless he thought he was going to turn and go back down Jefferson, if
he come in Jefferson, but I don't know that he come in Jefferson. He
couldn't have done that--he would have gotten a ticket for that.
Mr. LIEBELER. Now, let's see if we can establish it between ourselves
here, first, for this discussion, which way Irving Boulevard runs. When
you come toward Irving from Dallas, it runs--Irving Boulevard runs in
the direction away from Dallas, doesn't it, toward the west?
Mrs. HUNTER. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. Now, the man got in the car and he drove west in the
direction of the traffic down Irving Boulevard?
Mrs. HUNTER. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. And turned at the red light on Main Street?
Mrs. HUNTER. He turned left.
Mr. LIEBELER. He turned left at the intersection of Main and Irving
Boulevard?
Mrs. HUNTER. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. And that's the last you saw of the car?
Mrs. HUNTER. That's the last I seen of it.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did this man seem to have any difficulty driving the car
as far as you could tell?
Mrs. HUNTER. No; not that I could tell.
Mr. LIEBELER. You have discussed this whole question, I am sure, with
Mrs. Whitworth from time to time since it happened, haven't you?
Mrs. HUNTER. Well, not too much. When they come on television and we
noticed who it was--I don't know--let me see if I can remember the
first time I seen him on television--I wasn't watching it when the
President got killed and I didn't know anything about it until way
after it happened.
Mr. LIEBELER. When did you first get the idea that those people that
had been in the store were the Oswalds?
Mrs. HUNTER. When I seen them on television, and I just says to
whatever was sitting there, I said, "That man was down in the furniture
store the other day."
Mr. LIEBELER. Who was it in the room?
Mrs. HUNTER. Well, it was just one of the kids I don't know--I forgot
now which one of them it was, but we were sitting in the house and I
said, "That man on television was down at the furniture store the other
day," and it was after he got killed that they showed her, I believe,
and I recognized her.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you recognize these people as soon as you saw them
and prior to the time you discussed it with Mrs. Whitworth?
Mrs. HUNTER. Well, now, I don't know just how soon--I couldn't be
positive just how quick now--I done forgot--that I talked to her after
that, but it was after I seen him on television that we discussed it a
little bit and all, because after they fixed her up, she was pretty and
we did discuss that--the difference she looks now and her down there in
the store.
Mr. LIEBELER. You mean she does--you think she does look different now?
Mrs. HUNTER. Oh, yes; she's pretty now. She looked awful down there in
that store.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you think you would recognize her as the same person
if you saw her again?
Mrs. HUNTER. I doubt it--very seriously.
Mr. LIEBELER. You don't think you would recognize her?
Mrs. HUNTER. No; I sure don't, not from the way she looked in that
store that day and the way she looks now. Now, that's how much
difference there was and I generally notice anyone by their eyes
quicker than anything else.
Mr. LIEBELER. When did you notice that she looked different?
