Mr. REILLY. He was on the far side--and how far back--I don't know.
Mr. BALL. What do you mean by "far side"? Do you mean he was south of
you?
Mr. REILLY. No; he was west of me.
Mr. BALL. You see on the map, it's marked "Elm, Main and
Commerce"--this other police officer was near what?
Mr. REILLY. I wouldn't know because I wasn't facing him and there was
two of them up there.
Mr. BALL. Back; by "far side" you mean that he was south of you?
Mr. REILLY. No; he was west of me--you see, this place is east and
west--these streets.
Mr. BALL. But the railroad overpass goes north and south?
Mr. REILLY. Yes; north and south.
Mr. BALL. Then, if he was west of you, he would be behind you?
Mr. REILLY. Yes; behind me.
Mr. BALL. Were there two police officers behind you?
Mr. REILLY. Yes; there was two of them--both of them--one close and one
here----
Mr. BALL. Listen to the question--there were two police officers there,
was there?
Mr. REILLY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Were they both behind you?
Mr. REILLY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. One was closer than the other one?
Mr. REILLY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. How close was the one that was closer to you?
Mr. REILLY. I have an idea about 8 or 10 feet.
Mr. BALL. And how far away was the other one?
Mr. REILLY. About the width of that overpass across--75 or 80 feet
across there.
Mr. BALL. One was 8 or 10 feet from you, and the other one was 75 feet
from you and they were both behind you?
Mr. REILLY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Did you see the motorcade come down Elm Street?
Mr. REILLY. No; not until it turned and started to come under the
underpass.
Mr. BALL. Did you see the President's car?
Mr. REILLY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Where did you first see it?
Mr. REILLY. When it turned off of Houston Street and started around.
Mr. BALL. Onto Elm Street?
Mr. REILLY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Is that the first time you saw the President's car, when it
turned off Houston Street onto Elm Street?
Mr. REILLY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. How many people were there on the overpass at the time--at
that time?
Mr. REILLY. Just what I told you.
Mr. BALL. Tell me again.
Mr. REILLY. Well, there was Holland and me and Dick Dodd and those two
fellows out there and the two policemen--that's all I remember seeing
out there.
Mr. BALL. Did you hear something?
Mr. REILLY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. What did you hear?
Mr. REILLY. Three shots.
Mr. BALL. Where did they seem to come from; what direction?
Mr. REILLY. It seemed to me like they come out of the trees.
Mr. BALL. What trees?
Mr. REILLY. On the north side of Elm Street at the corner up there.
Mr. BALL. On the north side of Elm--on what corner?
Mr. REILLY. Well, where all those trees are--you've never been down
there?
Mr. BALL. Yes; I've been there, but you tell me--I want you to tell me
because it has to go on the record here and it has to be in writing.
Mr. REILLY. Well, it's at that park where all the shrubs is up
there--it's to the north of Elm Street--up the slope.
Mr. BALL. Did you see any pigeons fly?
Mr. REILLY. No; I didn't pay no attention to that.
Mr. BALL. What did you do after you heard the shots?
Mr. REILLY. I just stood there a few minutes and then I went on down to
the shop.
Mr. BALL. Which way did you walk?
Mr. REILLY. South.
Mr. BALL. South?
Mr. REILLY. Toward the post office.
Mr. BALL. Your shop is down south of that place?
Mr. REILLY. Yes; it's the other side of the station.
Mr. BALL. Who walked with you?
Mr. REILLY. Nobody.
Mr. BALL. You walked alone?
Mr. REILLY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. I think that's all, Mr. Reilly. This will be written up and
you can look it over and correct it if you wish, or you can waive your
signature if you wish.
Which do you wish--do you want to come down and sign it, or do you want
to waive your signature?
Mr. REILLY. No; I'll do anything you want me to.
Mr. BALL. Well, you do anything you want to--it's your option--what do
you want to do?
Mr. REILLY. I'll sign it.
Mr. BALL. All right.
This young lady will write it up and call you and you can come down
here and sign it. How is that?
Mr. REILLY. Well, will I have to come back?
Mr. BALL. Yes; you will.
Mr. REILLY. It is hard for me to get off.
Mr. BALL. It is--why don't you waive your signature, if it is
inconvenient to you, and we will offer this diagram as Exhibit A to
your deposition.
Mr. REILLY. All right.
