(Testimony of Mrs. Robert A. Reid)
Mr. Belin.
All right. When you left the lunchroom, did you leave with the other girls?
Mrs. Reid.
No; I didn't. The younger girls had gone and I left alone.
Mr. Belin.
Were you the last person in the lunchroom?
Mrs. Reid.
No; I could not say that because I don't remember that part of it because I was going out of the building by myself, I wasn't even, you know, connected with anyone at all.
Mr. Belin.
Were there any men in the lunchroom when you left there?
Mrs. Reid.
I can't, I don't, remember that.
Mr. Belin.
All right.
Mrs. Reid.
I can't remember the time they left.
Mr. Belin.
Now, you went out from the lunchroom; turning to Exhibit 497, you went from the lunchroom through the door, which would be the west door, and then through the doorway marked number 23 on the exhibit there or did you instead go to the front?
Mrs. Reid.
No; I came back through the office.
Mr. Belin.
You didn't go through the door marked 24?
Mrs. Reid.
No; I did not.
Mr. Belin.
You came out through this first door of the lunchroom?
Mrs. Reid.
That is right.
Mr. Belin.
And then you turned which way?
Mrs. Reid.
Turned this way.
Mr. Belin.
You turned to your, left and went through the door which is between numbers 27 and 28?
Mrs. Reid.
That is right.
Mr. Belin.
On Exhibit 497, and you went back to your office. Did you go by your desk?
Mrs. Reid.
I am sure I did because I usually leave my purse in there until I get ready to go out and then pick it up.
Mr. Belin.
All right. You walked toward the number marked 29 on Exhibit 497?
Mrs. Reid.
That is right.
Mr. Belin.
Then where did you walk?
Mrs. Reid.
I came over here and got my jacket and scarf out of the closet.
Mr. Belin.
All right.
You are now pointing to the closet on Exhibit 497 which would be located on the east side of the building?
Mrs. Reid.
That is right.
Mr. Belin.
Toward the front. Then what did you do?
Mrs. Reid.
I came and went out this door.
Mr. Belin.
You are, you went out the door which is marked on Exhibit 497 as room 200, is that correct?
Mrs. Reid.
That is right.
Mr. Belin.
What did you do?
Mrs. Reid.
I got on the elevator.
Mr. Belin.
Now, there is an elevator along the east wall toward the front of the building, is that correct?
Mrs. Reid.
That is right.
Mr. Belin.
Is this a freight or passenger?
Mrs. Reid.
It is a passenger.
Mr. Belin.
Do you know how far this elevator goes or how high?
Mrs. Reid.
Fourth floor.
Mr. Belin.
Fourth floor. You got on the elevator on the second floor?
Mrs. Reid.
That is right.
Mr. Belin.
Then what did you do?
Mrs. Reid.
Came down on the first floor.
Mr. Belin.
Then you came on the first floor.
Mrs. Reid.
Went out the front door of our building.
Mr. Belin.
Went out the front door.
Mrs. Reid.
I stood on the steps for several minutes.
Mr. Belin.
All right.
Mrs. Reid.
Shall I continue?
