(Testimony of Mrs. Helen Markham)
Mrs. Markham.
Yes. He looked wild. They were glassy looking, because I could see--
Mr. Dulles.
He had no glasses on?
Mrs. Markham.
No. When we looked at each other, he just stared, just like that. I just don't know. I just seen him--I would know the man anywhere, I know I would.
Mr. Dulles.
Thank you.
Mr. Ball.
I have here an exhibit, Commission Exhibit 162, a jacket. Did you ever see this before?
Mrs. Markham.
No; I did not.
Mr. Ball.
Does it look like, anything like, the jacket the man had on?
Mrs. Markham.
It is short, open down the front. But that jacket it is a darker jacket than that, I know it was.
Mr. Ball.
You don't think it was as light a jacket as that?
Mrs. Markham.
No, it was darker than that, I know it was. At that moment I was so excited--
Mr. Ball.
I show you a shirt here, which is Exhibit 150. Did you ever see a shirt the color of this?
Mrs. Markham.
The shirt that this man had, it was a lighter looking shirt than that.
Mr. Ball.
The man who shot Tippit?
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, sir; I think it was lighter.
Mr. Ball.
All right. I have some pictures here that I would like to show you. I have Exhibits 521 and 522, which have been marked as Exhibits. Here is one picture, 521. Do you recognize that as the sign down?
Mrs. Markham.
This is the corner of Patton and 10th.
Mr. Ball.
Patton and 10th.
Mrs. Markham.
This is on the corner of Patton and 10th.
Mr. Ball.
Yes. Was the man anywhere near that corner when you saw him?
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, he was.
Mr. Ball.
After the shooting?
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, sir; he was.
Mr. Ball.
All right. Now, take this pen and put an X as to the point when he looked at you and you looked at him.
Mrs. Markham.
He was right along here.
Mr. Ball.
Put an X.
Mrs. Markham.
I don't know. I am too nervous.
Mr. Ball.
At the time the man was standing at X in this picture, at this location, which is shown in 521, where were you?
Mrs. Markham.
I was on the opposite corner, across over here, like this.
Mr. Ball.
Were you as close to the curb as--were you close to the curb at that time?
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, I was.
Mr. Dulles.
Where was the car, where this car is?
Mr. Ball.
No, I have another picture I will show her. I have here Exhibit 522; do you recognize the white house in the picture?
Mrs. Markham.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
And the driveway next to it?
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball.
Does that show the location of the police car at the time it stopped?
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, sir. That is the big old white house, 404.
Mr. Ball.
That is right.
Mrs. Markham.
10th Street, and this driveway and this house.
Mr. Dulles.
Will you give us an idea, Mr. Ball, as to where she said she was on this picture? Was she over here?
Mr. Ball.
We have a picture. There is a booklet here that has been prepared by a succession of witnesses. We have a general diagram here which I will show the witness at this time.
Mrs. Markham, there is a diagram here which shows 10th Street going in an easterly and westerly direction, Patton running north and south.
(Marked Commission Exhibit No. 523 for identification.)
Mrs. Markham.
Yes, sir.
