Representative Ford.

How many hours a day do you work this route?

Mr. Mcwatters.

Well, now, this one particular route right here, I work it only 2 hours and 35 minutes.

Representative Ford.

Each day?

Mr. Mcwatters.

Each day.

Representative Ford.

How many days a week?

Mr. Mcwatters.

5 days, Monday through Friday. And after that, in other words, I work on another a different bus line.
But this one particular one here is just 2 hours and 35 minutes each day.

Representative Ford.

When you say a different bus line, you mean the same company but a different route?

Mr. Mcwatters.

A different route.

Representative Ford.

You would be familiar with the time schedules and all of the stops on this particular route from your 2 years experience?

Mr. Mcwatters.

Yes, sir.
Senator COOPER. May I ask a question?

Mr. Mcwatters.

Yes, sir.
Senator COOPER. Have you testified that you saw this passenger whom you later recognized in the lineup, get on the bus in the vicinity of Murphy Street--is Murphy Street on your right?

Mr. Mcwatters.

Murphy Street is the street that, in other words, that comes in--
Senator COOPER. Does it run into Elm Street?

Mr. Mcwatters.

It runs into Elm Street, it dead ends, in other words, into Elm Street.
Here is Field Street, in other words, across this intersection and we stopped across the intersection of Field, and Murphy Street comes in to the intersection at about where the bus stops, in other words, where Field Street stops and I guess that Griffin is the next small street that comes in just, it is just a short distance below.
Senator COOPER. Well, did the passenger that you have testified about, and whom you stated that you later identified, did he get on in the vicinity of Murphy Street?

Mr. Mcwatters.

Yes, sir.
Senator COOPER. Murphy Street--you proceeded from Murphy Street toward the Texas School Book Depository?

Mr. Mcwatters.

Yes, sir.
Senator COOPER. Is that correct?

Mr. Mcwatters.

That is correct.
Senator COOPER. Was the passenger that got on near Murphy Street the same passenger that you later have testified about who told you that the President had been shot in the temple?

Mr. Mcwatters.

Well, they told me later that it was, but at the time they didn't tell me.
Senator COOPER. Who didn't tell you?

Mr. Mcwatters.

The police didn't.
Senator COOPER. When you say this passenger got on near Murphy Street, was there anything about him that caused you to take notice of him particularly?

Mr. Mcwatters.

Well, no, sir. I wouldn't say there was. He was, I would say, he didn't have on no suit or anything, he had on, I believe, some type of jacket, cloth jacket.
Senator COOPER. What caused you to remember him getting on?

Mr. Mcwatters.

What caused me to remember?
Senator COOPER. Yes; at the time he got on.

Mr. Mcwatters.

Because, the reason I remembered exactly because I didn't put out but two transfers, and that, in other words, from where he got on and everything, I didn't have but one, there wasn't but one man on the bus and that was the teenage boy, when he got on the bus, in other words, when he got off, he was the only man except the teenage boy who was on the bus at the time.
Senator COOPER. Now was this man that you saw got on the bus the same one who told you that the President had been shot in the temple?

Mr. Mcwatters.

The man who got on the bus now?
