Mr. Reynolds.

Not the direction. In the general direction. but not to the theatre.

Mr. Liebeler.

In fact, you were looking for this man who later turned out to be Oswald, in this parking lot which was some distance from the Texas Theatre at that point?

Mr. Reynolds.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

And you never saw Oswald continue on down the street--on down Jefferson or go in the Texas Theatre, and you never told the police that he had gone in that direction, did you?

Mr. Reynolds.

I told the police he was going in that direction.

Mr. Liebeler.

He was going--you told the police he went into the parking lot, or what did you tell him?

Mr. Reynolds.

That he was going west. I told them that he was going west, and I had assumed that he just cut through the parking lot and kept going the general direction he was going in.

Mr. Liebeler.

But he hadn't gotten to Jefferson by the time you had seen him?

Mr. Reynolds.

That's right. He was about almost half a block before he got to Jefferson.

Mr. Liebeler.

But he was heading toward Jefferson?

Mr. Reynolds.

Yes; he was heading toward Jefferson.

Mr. Liebeler.

You never saw him after he got to Jefferson?

Mr. Reynolds.

Yes. When he got to Jefferson, that is when I followed him.

Mr. Liebeler.

And he went which way?

Mr. Reynolds.

Went down Jefferson, and then he went behind the station, and that is when I lost him.

Mr. Liebeler.

He went around behind the station, and there was a parking lot back there, is that right?

Mr. Reynolds.

That's right.

Mr. Liebeler.

You went back in the parking lot and you were looking for him there, but you never saw him again after he ducked off Jefferson into the parking lot?

Mr. Reynolds.

Just on television.

Mr. Liebeler.

Then according to the information that I have, on January 23, 1964, you were shot in the head by a bullet from a 22 caliber rifle, is that correct?

Mr. Reynolds.

Yes; right there [pointing to right temple].

Mr. Liebeler.

On the right side of your head?

Mr. Reynolds.

Yes; and it went to here [pointing to left ear].

Mr. Liebeler.

Would you tell us the circumstances in which that happened?

Mr. Reynolds.

I know this man was waiting for 3 1/2 hours in a basement where I work.

Mr. Liebeler.

In a car lot?

Mr. Reynolds.

In a car lot.

Mr. Liebeler.

At the car lot?

Mr. Reynolds.

At the car lot, the Johnny Reynolds Co. And when I went down to turn off the lights in, this basement where he had taken the light globe out of the room, I went in there more or less in the dark to turn off the light. It is a switchboard, and when I walked up to it and turned two switches, this man couldn't hardly have been over a foot from me with the rifle, and shot me.
When he shot me, I ran upstairs. I went around to the right about 20 feet and got this towel to, of course, stop the blood, and when I turned around to go call the police, I had assumed all the time that I had been electrocuted for some silly reason, never dreaming I had been shot. But when I saw the man run off, I figured right then I must have been shot, so I ran on in and called the police.

Mr. Liebeler.

When did you see the man run off?

Mr. Reynolds.

When I ran upstairs and ran around to the right to get this towel, and he came up out of the basement. I saw him and two more people saw him.

Mr. Liebeler.

You then got the towel. Did you call the police?

Mr. Reynolds.

I was able to call the police. Then I laid down just for a few
