(Testimony of James , Jr. Jarman)
Mr. Ball.
When you ran down there was the window open or closed?
Mr. Jarman.
It was closed.
Mr. Ball.
And who opened it?
Mr. Jarman.
I did.
Mr. Ball.
And what did you do after you opened the window?
Mr. Jarman.
I leaned out and the officers and various people was running across the tracks, toward the tracks over there where they had the passenger trains, and all, boxcars and things.
Mr. Ball.
I show you 488. What does that show?
Mr. Jarman.
That shows me leaning out the window and Bonnie Ray and Harold Norman was over to the side of me.
Mr. Ball.
What window?
Mr. Jarman.
The window on the west side of the building.
Mr. Ball.
Is that the one to which you ran after you heard the shots?
Mr. Jarman.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
And you looked out that window?
Mr. Jarman.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
How did you happen to run to that window?
Mr. Jarman.
Well, I wanted to see what was going on mostly, because that was after the motorcade car had took off, and I thought they had stopped under the underpass, but they hadn't. So they went on around the bend, and after I couldn't see from there I ran to another, the second window.
Mr. Ball.
That second one you ran to, you pointed that out to me last Friday, did you?
Mr. Jarman.
yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
And the picture was taken of that, is that right?
Mr. Jarman.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
And that window is on which side?
Mr. Jarman.
On the west side of the building also.
Mr. Ball.
I show you 489. Is that a picture of the west window?
Mr. Jarman.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
And what did you see when you looked out that window?
Mr. Jarman.
When I looked out that window, I saw the policemen and the secret agents, the FBI men, searching the boxcar yard and the passenger train and things like that.
Mr. Ball.
Where were you when you heard Harold Norman say something that he had heard cartridges?
Mr. Jarman.
All that took place right here in this corner after we had went to this window.
Mr. Ball.
This corner. What corner do you mean?
Mr. Jarman.
In the corner of the building right after we had looked out this window.
Mr. Ball.
Which corner?
Mr. Jarman.
Right here on the west side of the building.
Mr. Ball.
On the west side of the building?
Mr. Jarman.
Right.
Mr. Ball.
And would that be the window that is shown in 488, or the window that is shown in 489?
Mr. Jarman.
It was between the two windows.
Mr. Ball.
Between the two?
Mr. Jarman.
As we was going to this window.
Mr. Ball.
To that window?
Mr. Jarman.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
What did you hear him say?
Mr. Jarman.
He said it was something sounded like cartridges hitting the floor, and he could hear the action of the rifle, I mean the bolt, as it were pulled back, or something like that.
Mr. Ball.
Had you heard anything like that?
Mr. Jarman.
No, sir; I hadn't
Mr. Ball.
Had you heard any person running upstairs?
Mr. Jarman.
No, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Or any steps upstairs?
