(Testimony of Mrs. Helen Markham)
Mr. Ball.
You have done waitress work?
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, Sir.
Mr. Ball.
Where do you work now?
Mrs. Markham.
Eat Well Restaurant, 1404 Main Street, Dallas, Tex.
Mr. Ball.
Were you working there on November 22, 1963?
Mrs. Markham.
I was.
Mr. Ball.
What hours did you work?
Mrs. Markham.
I was due at work from 2:30 in the evening until 10:30 at night.
Mr. Ball.
Did you leave your home some time that morning to go to work?
Mrs. Markham.
That evening?
Mr. Ball.
Morning.
Mrs. Markham.
That morning?
Mr. Ball.
You left your home to go to work at some time, didn't you, that day?
Mrs. Markham.
At one.
Mr. Ball.
One o'clock?
Mrs. Markham.
I believe it was a little after 1.
Mr. Ball.
Where did you intend to catch the bus?
Mrs. Markham.
On Patton and Jefferson.
Mr. Ball.
Patton and Jefferson is about a block south of Patton and 10th Street, isn't it?
Mrs. Markham.
I think so.
Mr. Ball.
Well, where is your home from Patton and Jefferson?
Mrs. Markham.
I had came--I come one block, I had come one block from my home.
Mr. Ball.
You were walking, were you?
Mrs. Markham.
I came from 9th to the corner of 10th Street.
Mr. Ball.
And you were walking toward Jefferson?
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Tenth Street runs the same direction as Jefferson, doesn't it?
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
It runs in a generally east and west direction?
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
And Patton runs north and south?
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, sir; up and down this way.
Mr. Ball.
So you were walking south toward Jefferson?
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
You think it was a little after 1?
Mrs. Markham.
I wouldn't be afraid to bet it wasn't 6 or 7 minutes after 1.
Mr. Ball.
You know what time you usually get your bus, don't you?
Mrs. Markham.
1:15.
Mr. Ball.
So it was before 1:15?
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, it was.
Mr. Ball.
When you came to the corner of Patton and 10th Street--first of all, what side of the street were you walking on?
Mrs. Markham.
Now you have got me mixed up on all my streets. I was on the opposite of where this man was.
Mr. Ball.
Well, you were walking along the street--
Mrs. Markham.
On the street.
Mr. Ball.
On Patton, you were going toward Jefferson?
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
And you were on the right- or left-hand side of the street as you were walking south?
Mrs. Markham.
That would be on the left.
Mr. Ball.
Your right.
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, it would be right.
Mr. Ball.
Right-hand side, wouldn't it? When you came to the corner did you have to stop before you crossed 10th Street?
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, I did.
Mr. Ball.
Why?
