(Testimony of Robert Edwin Edwards)

Mr. Belin.
Was the sun out that day?
Mr. Edwards.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
What color hair did the man have?
Mr. Edwards.
Light brown.
Mr. Belin.
Light brown hair?
Mr. Edwards.
That is what I would say; yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
Did you see any other people on the sixth floor?
Mr. Edwards.
No.
Mr. BELIN. Did you notice whether or not there were any, or just did you look and see any?
Mr. EDWARDS. I notice that there---I just didn't see any.
Mr. Belin.
What about the next floor above? Did you see any people on the floor above?
Mr. Edwards.
No.
Mr. BELIN. What about on any floors below? See any people on the fifth floor?
Mr. Edwards.
No.
Mr. Belin.
Fourth floor?
Mr. Edwards.
No.
Mr. Belin.
Third floor?
Mr. Edwards.
Possibly.
Mr. Belin.
Second floor?
Mr. Edwards.
I believe so.
Mr. Belin.
First floor?

Mr. EDWARDS. I don't know.
Mr. BELIN. All right, now, you signed an affidavit for the sheriff's department where you stated that you saw a man at the window on the fifth floor, and the window was wide open all the way, and there was a stack of books around him, I could see. And you just told me you didn't see a man on the fifth floor. Was that affidavit correct or not?
Mr. Edwards.
That is incorrect. That has been straightened out since.
Mr. Belin.
What do you mean it has been straightened out?

Mr. EDWARDS. Well, they discussed it with me later and I took that back. That was the FBI. It was the sixth floor, though.
Mr. Belin.
How do you know it was the sixth floor? Sixth floor rather than the fifth floor?
Mr. EDWARDS. I went with them and I showed them the window, and I didn't count the bottom floor.
Mr. BELIN. You mean the first time when you made the affidavit you didn't count the bottom floor?
Mr. Edwards.
That's right.
Mr. BELIN. When you went out with the FBI, they asked you to point out the window?
Mr. Edwards.
Right.
Mr. Belin.
And you pointed out the same window you saw on November 22?
Mr. Edwards.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
The you weren't counting the bottom floor?
Mr. Edwards.
They did.
Mr. Belin.
Did you watch them count?
Mr. Edwards.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember how many floors from the top it was?
Mr. Edwards.
I think seven in all, seven floors. It is next to the top.
Mr. Belin.
Do you know whether or not the hair of the man was short, average, or long on the man that you saw in the window that day?
Mr. Edwards.
Don't know.
Mr. BELIN. Now what conversation did you and Ronald Fischer have about this man, if anything? Do you remember what he said?
Mr. EDWARDS. I made a statement to Ronny that I wondered who he was hiding from since he was up there crowded in among the boxes, in a joking manner.
Mr. Belin.
You mean you said it in a joking manner?
Mr. Edwards.
Yes.
