(Testimony of Clyde A. Haygood)

Mr. Haygood.
I wouldn't even attempt to say the approximate distance of the window from the corner. I don't know.
Mr. Belin.
Well, if you don't know, that is what I want to find out.
Mr. Haygood.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Was the bag right under the window?
Mr. Haygood.
It was in the corner.
Mr. Belin.
Not under the window?
Mr. Haygood.
No; it was in the corner of the building, the southeast corner.
Mr. Belin.
Anything else you noticed up there?
Mr. Haygood.
That is all.
Mr. Belin.
Now, where were you when you saw the when you heard a rifle had been found?

Mr. HAYGOOD. On the floor there, best as I can remember, and I went to that same location as the other one, just like I stated on the other one where the shells was found.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember where that rifle was found, roughly, or not?
Mr. Haygood.
It was in a row of books back on the opposite corner. Be on the west side of the building, back to the northwest corner.
Mr. Belin.
All right, anything else you remember while you were there?
Mr. Haygood.
No.
Mr. Belin.
What did you do after that, after the rifle was found?

Mr. HAYGOOD. Well, it still wasn't determined whether the assailant wasn't still in the building even at that time, even after the rifle was found, and the search was continued in the building for a while after that.
Mr. Belin.
Then' what did you do?
Mr. HAYGOOD. At that time after that I went to the street, went downstairs to the street.
Mr. Belin.
Did you participate in any other investigation that day?
Mr. Haygood.
No.
Mr. Belin.
What about on Saturday?
Mr. Haygood.
On Saturday I was on my way to Colorado.
Mr. Belin.
So you weren't around on Sunday either?

Mr. HAYGOOD. No. On Sunday when the other shooting was taking place, I was knee deep in snow in Colorado.
Mr. BELIN. Is there any other information you can think of, whether I. have asked it or not, that in any way would be relevant to the assassination of the President or the shooting of Officer Tippit?
Mr. Haygood.
No, nothing; I was out of town.
Mr. BELIN. All right, sir. We thank you very much for your cooperation here. You have an opportunity, if you want to come down and read this deposition and sign it before it goes to Washington, or you can waive the reading and signing of it and just have the court reporter send it directly to us, whatever you want to do?
Mr. Haygood.
It makes no difference.
Mr. Belin.
It makes no difference to us either.
Mr. Haygood.
Just waive the signing. I don't know when I can get back over here.

(Officer Haygood was summoned back in a few minutes from across the street at the Republic National Bank Building to answer the following question.)
Mr. BELIN. Officer Haygood, I will continue your deposition with one more question, if you would, and you are still under oath.
You mentioned in your sworn deposition that you talked to about two people that you saw, and you pointed it out in your transmission at 12:35 p.m., under your Call No. 142.
Is that correct?
Mr. Haygood.
Right.
Mr. Belin.
I notice on there another transmission at 12:37 p.m. Could you read what the transcript has there.

Mr. HAYGOOD. Well, this part of the deposition I covered it a while ago but I gave you, is when I called to have the Texas School Book Depository covered there. That is one of the witnesses I had that believed the shot came from that location.
