(Testimony of Buell Wesley Frazier)
Mr. Ball.
Now, you went on in the Building, did you, afterwards?
FRAZIER. Right. I went on in.
Mr. Ball.
Well, the first floor of the Texas School Book Depository is fairly isn't it, it is clear of partitions?
Mr. Frazier.
Pretty well. I will say we have bins after you get so far.
Mr. Ball.
Toward the middle of the floor you have bins?
Mr. Frazier.
Right.
Mr. Ball.
Did you see Lee as you walked in the door?
Mr. Frazier.
No, sir; I didn't.
Mr. Ball.
Here is Commission 362 which we will show you. I will put it up high so everyone can see it. There is a picture in the lower left corner which is marked "Exterior View of Entrance Door from Houston Street Loading Dock."
Mr. Frazier.
Right.
Mr. Ball.
Is that the door?
Mr. Frazier.
Right.
Mr. Ball.
That is the door that Lee entered?
Mr. Frazier.
That is right.
Mr. Ball.
And that is also the door that you entered, is that correct?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
And over to the right here is the interior view of entrance door.
Mr. Frazier.
Right.
Mr. Ball.
That is the same door, isn't it?
Mr. Frazier.
Now, this door, you see right there is that door right there.
Mr. Ball.
In other words, the door in the lower left-hand corner is the outside door.
FRAZIER. Right.
Mr. Ball.
And as you walk through--and this is the door, the outside door, is in the picture on the lower right-hand corner?
Mr. Frazier.
That is right, right there, that is this same door you are looking at over here.
Mr. Ball.
Then there is an interior door?
Mr. Frazier.
Right.
Mr. Ball.
Leading into the interior that is also shown there?
Mr. Frazier.
Right.
Mr. Ball.
That is Sort of, what is it--a little corridor that you walk through?
Mr. Frazier.
I say it is just about that distance from here over to that man over there.
Mr. Ball.
Let's take a look there.
Mr. Frazier.
It is called the loading zone there.
Mr. Ball.
This map shows certain steps up, doesn't it?
Mr. Frazier.
Right.
Mr. Ball.
Where. is the door that you entered or that he entered.
Mr. Frazier.
Right here.
Mr. Ball.
That is the door. Is that covered, is that area covered with a ceiling roof?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir; it is.
Mr. Ball.
And this is also walled in, is it?
Mr. Frazier.
Right. The railroad track runs along here.
Mr. Ball.
After you get into this outside shed how did you get into the first floor of the Texas School Book Depository?
Mr. Frazier.
Through that door.
Mr. Ball.
Through the door there, into the interior door?
Mr. Frazier.
Right.
Mr. Ball.
How much of the first floor here is clear so that you can see anybody there?
Mr. Frazier.
Roughly say, let's see, just a few feet back, you know here is the door right here.
Mr. Ball.
Whose door?
Mr. Frazier.
Mr. Shelley's.
Mr. Ball.
Yes.
