I stepped across behind the car right over here.

Mr. HUBERT. All right, would you draw a little square roughly the

size of the automobile driven by Dhority, and then place a circle to

indicate your own position of that time?

Mr. STEVENSON. That is a long automobile, but as I recall, this post,

I was standing right here, and the car had gotten back to right along

here.

Mr. HUBERT. You were on the south side of that post, standing?

Mr. STEVENSON. I believe I was standing right here at the edge.

Mr. HUBERT. Is that the very front of the automobile on the right side?

Mr. STEVENSON. No; I was just about at the right door hinge. The right

front door hinge, that is where I was standing. That is a very poor

drawing of the car, Mr. Hubert.

Mr. HUBERT. That is all right. Just put in there, "police car," in that

square.

Now you have also drawn a circle to the south of that post, and I wish

you would draw a little arrow and put your initials indicating that

that was your position.

Now let me get this. Did your position change from the way you have

marked it here at all up until Ruby shot Oswald?

Mr. STEVENSON. No, sir; it did not. If I may explain this a little bit,

from where I have drawn this circle, this post that extends out here is

built onto the wall, and where I was standing, I could see plumb back

into here. I was not behind the post as it looks like here.

Mr. HUBERT. How much space was there between the post and the right

side of the automobile?

Mr. STEVENSON. I would say there was 3 feet.

Mr. HUBERT. Now, would you describe for us the position of the news

media in the basement area there, giving us as much as possible the

number of people, say, on the Main Street ramp, and the number of

people in the basement area proper?

Mr. STEVENSON. I would say from the corner of the building here,

straight across.

Mr. HUBERT. When you say, "here," just mark a point. Let's call that

"number 1" to point number 2.

Mr. STEVENSON. I can make that up this way, I believe.
