Did you tell them that?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. The statement says, "I recall vaguely having seen Lee Oswald,
when he came to work at about 8 a.m. today."
Mr. DOUGHERTY. That's right.
Mr. BALL. Now, is that a very definite impression that you saw him that
morning when he came to work?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Well, oh--it's like this--I'll try to explain it to you
this way--you see, I was sitting on the wrapping table and when he came
in the door, I just caught him out of the corner of my eye--that's the
reason why I said it that way.
Mr. BALL. Did he come in with anybody?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. No.
Mr. BALL. He was alone?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Yes; he was alone.
Mr. BALL. Do you recall him having anything in his hand?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Well, I didn't see anything, if he did.
Mr. BALL. Did you pay enough attention to him, you think, that you
would remember whether he did or didn't?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Well, I believe I can--yes, sir--I'll put it this way; I
didn't see anything in his hands at the time.
Mr. BALL. In other words, your memory is definite on that, is it?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. In other words, you would say positively he had nothing in
his hands?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. I would say that--yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Or, are you guessing?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. I don't think so.
Mr. BALL. You saw him come in the door?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. The back door on the first floor?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. It was in the back door.
Mr. BALL. Now, that back door is the door that opens onto what? That
back door would be the first floor?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. And it opens where?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. On the back dock--on the back dock side over there.
Mr. BALL. That would be what direction from the first floor--what wall
of the first floor--north?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Well, let's see, to be frank with you--I don't know
which one it would be.
Mr. BALL. Is there only one back door?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Yes; there is only one back door.
Mr. BALL. Did you see him again that morning?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Yes; just one more time.
Mr. BALL. Where was that?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. That was on the sixth floor.
Mr. BALL. On the sixth floor?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. About what time of day?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. It was about 11 o'clock--that was the last time I saw
him.
Mr. BALL. What was he doing up there?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Well, as far as I could tell, he was getting some
stock--as far as I could tell.
Mr. BALL. What were you doing there?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. I was getting some stock also.
Mr. BALL. And were there some other workmen up there at the time?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Not that I know of.
Mr. BALL. Well, do you remember Shelley, Dan Arce, Bonnie Williams,
Bill Lovelady, and Charlie Givens who were working up there that
morning--laying floor on the sixth floor?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Oh, yes; they were laying floor--yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. And were they there at the time you were there?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Oh, yes, sir; they were there--yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Is that the same time you saw Oswald?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Yes, sir; just about that time.
Mr. BALL. And how long were you on the sixth floor?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Well, just long enough to get some stock.
Mr. BALL. Where did you go then?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. I went to the fifth floor.
Mr. BALL. What did you do then?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Well, I went to the fifth floor to get some stock also
on the fifth floor.
Mr. BALL. Then what did you do?
