Mr. BELIN. The best you can recall, it was gray?
Mrs. DAVIS. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. What did Jeanette do with it?
Mrs. DAVIS. She gave it to some detective.
Mr. BELIN. Did you see her find any other shells?
Mrs. DAVIS. I found one after Jeanette, after all the police had gone.
Mr. BELIN. When did you find yours?
Mrs. DAVIS. It was about 10 minutes after all the police had gone.
Mr. BELIN. Was that before or after you went down to the police station?
Mrs. DAVIS. It was before.
Mr. BELIN. About when before?
Mrs. DAVIS. Well, I would say it was about 2:30, or 4.
Mr. BELIN. Mrs. Davis, when did you say you found this other shell?
Mrs. DAVIS. It was about 4.
Mr. BELIN. Did you see or know of anyone else finding any other shell?
Mrs. DAVIS. No, sir; not that I remember.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember what you did with your shell when you found
it?
Mrs. DAVIS. Well, before I picked it up, this boy told me that was
walking along with us helping us find, see if we could find anything
for evidence, he told me the police would get me if I picked it up by
my fingers, and take fingerprints, and I got scared and ran to the
house and got a Kleenex tissue and brought back outside and wrapped the
shell in.
Mr. BELIN. What did you do with it when you wrapped the shell up?
Mrs. DAVIS. Jeanette took it and put it in her apartment up on the
mantle-board.
Mr. BELIN. Then what?
Mrs. DAVIS. Then about 5:30 the same day the police called and wanted
us to come down and identify him in the lineup.
Mr. BELIN. Then what did you do with the shell?
Mrs. DAVIS. I gave it to the police.
Mr. BELIN. Did you give it to him at your house or down at the police
station?
Mrs. DAVIS. They come and picked us up.
Mr. BELIN. You gave it to the officer that came to pick you up?
Mrs. DAVIS. Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember what his name was, or not?
Mrs. DAVIS. No, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Now in your statement, Virginia Davis Deposition Exhibit 2,
now you state that, "Jeanette found an empty shell that the man had
unloaded and gave it to the police. After the police had left I found a
empty shell in our yard." Is this the same shell you gave to Detective
Dhority? Does the name Detective Dhority sound familiar to you now, or
don't you remember?
Mrs. DAVIS. I never did hear the detective called.
Mr. BELIN. Pardon?
Mrs. DAVIS. I didn't hear the detective's name called.
Mr. BELIN. You say, "The man that was unloading the gun was the same
man that I saw tonight as No. 2 man in a lineup." Is that right?
Mrs. DAVIS. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Now, Mrs. Davis, on this statement, Virginia Davis
Deposition Exhibit 2, it states that "We heard a shot and then another
shot and ran to side door at Patton Street." You say that should have
been the front door?
Mrs. DAVIS. That was supposed to be the front door.
Mr. BELIN. You say, "I saw the boy cutting across our yard and he was
unloading his gun. We walked outside and a woman was hollering, 'he's
dead, he's, he's shot'." "This woman told Jeanette to call the police
and she did." Now according to this statement, you saw the man cutting
across your yard before you called the police?
Mrs. DAVIS. No, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Now this statement is wrong, is that correct?
Mrs. DAVIS. That's right.
Mr. BELIN. It is your testimony now, as I understand it, that you went
back in the house and you called the police, and then you went back
outside the house and saw the boy cutting across the yard?
Mrs. DAVIS. That's right.
Mr. BELIN. That is your statement now?
Mrs. DAVIS. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Now I hand you what is Deposition Exhibit 3, and ask you to
state if your signature appears on Deposition Exhibit 3?
Mrs. DAVIS. That's right.
Mr. BELIN. This appears to be an affidavit dated December 1, 1963, and
I would like you to read the statement if you would.
