And we asked--I asked someone--some white fellow there, "What happened?"

And he said, "Somebody shot the President." Like that. So I stood there

for a while, and I went over to try to get to the building after they

found out the shots came from there, and when I went over to try to get

back in the officer at the door would't let me in.

Mr. BELIN. Did you tell him you worked there?

Mr. GIVENS. Yes; but he still wouldn't let me in. He told me he

wouldn't let no one in.

Mr. BELIN. This was the front of Elm Street?

Mr. GIVENS. Yes. So I goes back over to the parking lot and I wait

until I seen Junior.

Mr. BELIN. Is that Jarman?

Mr. GIVENS. Yes. They were on their way home, and they told me that

they let them all go home for the evening, and I said, "I'd better go

back and get my hat and coat."

So I started over there to pick up my hat and coat, and Officer Dawson

saw me and he called me and asked me was my name Charles Givens, and I

said, "Yes."
