(Testimony of )
Mr. Mcwatters.
in other words, and she said, "This is not a grinning or laughing matter," or something to that effect I don't remember just exactly what she did say.
Mr. Ball.
Now you told them at that time you didn't know where you let this man off.
Mr. Mcwatters.
That is right, I didn't at that time, I didn't know where he got off.
Mr. Ball.
You told us a few moments ago you thought he got off another place.
Mr. Mcwatters.
That is right, sir.
Mr. Ball.
What was that place?
Mr. Mcwatters.
He got off at Brownley, because the man rode with me the next day.
Mr. Ball.
You went out there the next day, did you?
Mr. Mcwatters.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
With an FBI man or a Dallas policeman?
Mr. Mcwatters.
No, I mean--
Mr. Ball.
The same teenager?
Mr. Mcwatters.
The same teenager rode with me the next day.
Mr. Ball.
And you noticed he got off there?
Mr. Mcwatters.
Yes, and I noticed, and I asked him, like I told him, I said that I was--I thought that, you know, that he was, when he first got on down there, I says, "From all indications, we had you kind of pinpointed as the man who might have been mixed up in the assassination and everything." And--
Mr. Ball.
Do I understand the day after you made the affidavit, this would be the 23d of November?
Mr. Mcwatters.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
That this same teenager got on your bus again?
Mr. Mcwatters.
Yes, he got on.
Mr. Ball.
And you noticed where you let him off?
Mr. Mcwatters.
I noticed where I let him off, yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Is that the reason that today you remember he got off?
Mr. Mcwatters.
That is it today I remember, just like I say, I remember I talked to him the next day, and he told me where he got on, and he told me where he got on, and where he got off and where he lived, and, you know that--
Mr. Ball.
Has he been on your bus since?
Mr. Mcwatters.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
He has?
Mr. Mcwatters.
He has rode with me since.
Mr. Ball.
Yes. I see. Did you give him a transfer that day?
Mr. Mcwatters.
No, because he gets on and he lives within about two blocks of the busline, in other words, where he gets off.
Mr. Ball.
Do you know this boy's name?
Mr. Mcwatters.
I believe his name is Milton Jones.
Mr. Ball.
Milton Jones?
Mr. Mcwatters.
Milton Jones. I don't believe I know where he lives, but I pass where he lives. But he told me his name was Milton Jones and he told me he was 17.
Mr. Ball.
Did he ever tell you where he works?
Mr. Mcwatters.
He told me that, I believe, he goes to school half a day, I believe he said and I believe he goes home and he has a part-time job, but he never did state where he works.
Mr. Ball.
Did he tell you where he went to school?
Mr. Mcwatters.
No, sir; he never did tell me where he went to school.
Mr. Ball.
Or where he worked?
Mr. Mcwatters.
Where he worked, either one.
Mr. Ball.
You notice in the affidavit there it says, "This man"--referring to the man who was grinning--
Mr. Mcwatters.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
"This man looks like the No. 1 man I saw in the lineup today."
