(Testimony of Howard Leslie Brennan)

Mr. Brennan.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
All right.
Could you start there and kind of trace--well, I don't know if you can see all of it.
Mr. Brennan.
No.
Mr. Belin.
Do the best you can, you can trace along here. Here would be the intersection. of Main and Houston.
Mr. Brennan.
I came down that side. Now, this street was open at that time.
Mr. Belin.
By this street you mean Houston Street?
Mr. Brennan.
Yes. I don't recall any parked cars there.
Mr. Belin.
Could you make that line a little darker, sir, that you have put on. All right. Now, at that first point, this would be--
Mr. Brennan.
I believe I walked a little south there, just observing them picking the man up.
Mr. Belin.
All right.
You have marked a line on Exhibit No. 478 heading a little bit south on the west side of Houston street, commencing at the southwest corner of the intersection, which is where you say you walked to watch the man with the epileptic fit, is that it?
Mr. Brennan.
Well, I didn't go up--he was almost center way of the block here. I didn't go up that far.
Mr. Belin.
All right.
And will you put the letter "H" there, if you would?
Mr. Brennan.
Where I was standing watching the man?
Mr. Belin.
Where you were standing watching the man; yes.
Mr. Brennan.
Right there.
Mr. Belin.
And then where did you go from there?
Mr. Brennan.
Right there.
Mr. Belin.
All right.
Now, you have taken a line which would be running along the south side of Elm Street there towards the point where you are sitting, and that is in the picture Exhibit 478. And that was the route that you took?
Mr. Brennan.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Put the letter "I", if you. would, there, please.
Now, on Exhibit No. 477, I wonder if you would perchance show us after the assassination, or the shooting-- you said you first went over to another side of the wall.
Would it be to the east or to the west there?
Mr. Brennan.
To the east. This right here is solid concrete.
Mr. Belin.
Is this where you went?
Mr. Brennan.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
All right.
On Exhibit 477, could you put the letter "J" where you went right after the shooting?
All right.
Now, I believe you said you later stood up and eventually walked across the street to get a police officer. On Exhibit 477, could you put a letter "K" where you believe you went to talk to this police officer, where he was.
It looks like there is a car there now.
So you went from point "J" to point "K", and point "K", on Exhibit 477, would correspond with "F, on Exhibit 361, is that right?
Mr. Brennan.
Right.
Mr. Belin.
All right.

Now, I wonder if you could perchance show on Exhibit 477 the point that corresponds with point "G" on Exhibit 361, which is where you said you went to the car.
Mr. Brennan.
This car here--letter what?
Mr. Belin.
"L".
Mr. Brennan.
That is this car here, sitting approximately where--
Mr. Belin.
I note that this ear that you have marked the "L" is not actually
