Mrs. Davis.

That was her position.

Representative Ford.

Do you wear glasses, Mrs. Davis?

Mrs. Davis.

No, sir.

Representative Ford.

Have you had your eyes examined recently?

Mrs. Davis.

I believe it was in October when I applied for some driver's license.

Representative Ford.

In October of 1963?

Mrs. Davis.

Yes.

Representative Ford.

You applied for a driver's license?

Mrs. Davis.

I believe it was the first--some time in October, I believe.

Representative Ford.

When you applied for a driver's license in Texas you have to take an examination?

Mrs. Davis.

Yes, sir.

Representative Ford.

And you did take one?

Mrs. Davis.

Yes, sir.

Representative Ford.

Did they recommend that you wear glasses?

Mrs. Davis.

No, sir. He said my eyes are all right.

Representative Ford.

He said your eyes were all right?

Mr. Dulles.

Have you had any problems with the law at any time?

Mrs. Davis.

No, sir.

Mr. Dulles.

Except for traffic violations?

Mrs. Davis.

No.

Mr. Dulles.

Thank you. What is your husband's occupation?

Mrs. Davis.

He is a roofer.

Mr. Dulles.

What?

Mrs. Davis.

Puts shingles and roofs on houses.

Mr. Dulles.

Oh, yes, surely.

Mr. Ball.

Mrs. Davis, before you went down to look at the man at the police station at 8 o'clock that night, had you seen television pictures of the man on television that he had been arrested?

Mrs. Davis.

As far as I can remember I don't remember seeing it because I was out in the yard all the time that was going on, and I don't believe the TV was on.

Mr. Ball.

Before you saw the man in the lineup were you shown a picture of any man by a police officer?

Mrs. Davis.

No, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Did you read a newspaper and see any pictures in a newspaper, picture of a man in the newspaper, before you went down there?

Mrs. Davis.

I don't really know. I couldn't be quite sure. I can't remember whether I did or not.

Mr. Ball.

Do you take an evening or a morning paper?

Mrs. Davis.

We take an afternoon paper, we took an afternoon paper then.

Mr. Ball.

Do you recall whether or not you did see a picture in the paper of the man?

Mrs. Davis.

I don't remember. I don't even remember whether I read it or not. There was so much excitement.

Mr. Ball.

When the man ran over the lawn, can you give me an estimate of how far away he was from you?

Mrs. Davis.

I can't.

Mr. Ball.

Make a judgment about it as to this room. Is it as far away from you to me?

Mrs. Davis.

It was about as far as here to the corner of the room out there, or just a little bit more, the far corner.

Representative Ford.

Just a little less, did you say?

Mrs. Davis.

About like that.

Mr. Belin.

About seven or eight steps?

Mr. Ball.

About 20, 25 feet, is that right?

Mrs. Davis.

I believe so.

Mr. Ball.

There is an affidavit that has been filed with us, a statement you made to the Secret Service men on the first of December 1963. And in that affidavit, it says, after describing that "The man was on the sidewalk directly
