(Testimony of Gertrude Hunter)

Mrs. Hunter.
I don't know, because she was on that side where they come out and I was on this--at a door standing in the door.
Mr. Liebeler.
You were closer to the door than Mrs. Whitworth?
Mrs. Hunter.
No; I was closer to the car than she was. She was back down here where they generally went into the store.
Mr. Liebeler.
She was further away from the front door where the car was parked than you were?
Mrs. Hunter.
Now, I don't know whether she was in the door or not. I have never discussed it with her.
Mr. Liebeler.
And you have never told Mrs. Whitworth that this man got in the car and drove the wrong way down the street?
Mrs. Hunter.
The only thing that--I says, "He started to go back down Irving Boulevard." I did say that to her one day because it was a one-way street and he was going the wrong way then.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you think if we have Mrs. Oswald come in here next Friday morning and you come in and look at her and the children too, do you think you would be able to come here and tell us if they were the people that were in that store?
Mrs. Hunter.
Well, I wouldn't say--I just wouldn't say.
Mr. Liebeler.
Well, we have asked Mrs. Whitworth to come in--to come back Friday morning at 9 o'clock and we will have Mrs. Oswald and the babies come in and we would like for you to come back to see if they were the people in the store. Would you be willing to do that?
Mrs. Hunter.
Yes; I will be willing to do it, but now, it's like I say--I wouldn't say I would recognize her now because she is pretty now.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you think she would recognize you, do you think she would remember being in the store if she had really been in there?
Mrs. Hunter.
I wouldn't know that--that's her---I don't know because I never did interfere with the people that come in there to do business with her or I I never did say anything ,to them and I never did answer her telephone or nothing at that business. I was just sitting in there talking to her.
Mr. Liebeler.
Let me suspend with the questioning now, Mrs. Hunter, until Friday morning.
Mrs. Hunter.
This Friday morning?
Mr. Liebeler.
Yes; day after tomorrow. You and Mrs. Whitworth can come back at that time and we will bring Mrs. Oswald here.
Mrs. Hunter.
That's all right. She is pretty now but she wasn't then.
Mr. Liebeler.
Before you go, I want to show you some pictures here and ask you if you recognize any of the people in them. I show you Pizzo Exhibit No-453-A and ask if you recognize anybody in that picture.
Mrs. Hunter.
Well, just not offhand--not, no; I don't.
Mr. Liebeler.
I will ask you the same question with regard to Pizzo Exhibit No. 453-B.
Mrs. Hunter.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
You don't recognize anybody in that picture?
Mrs. Hunter.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
The same question with respect to Bringuier Exhibit No. 1.
Mrs. Hunter.
No; not dressed like that--I don't.
Mr. Liebeler.
I show you Commission Exhibit No. 177 and ask if you recognize anybody in that picture.
Mrs. Hunter.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
You are pointing to a woman that's holding a child.
Mrs. Hunter.
I don't know what she's holding--I can't tell that.
Mr. Liebeler.
Anyway, there is a woman sitting there in a chair?
Mrs. Hunter.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
As we face the picture, it's on the farthest left, is that right, and who is that?
Mrs. Hunter.
Well, that looks like her a little bit--but she's got her hair fixed still different than she had it in the store that day.
Mr. Liebeler.
What about the man sitting right next to her, does he look like the man that was in the store that day?
Mrs. Hunter.
No.
