There was a paper, relatively long paper sack there.
Mr. Belin.
Where was that?
Mr. BREWER, It was there in the southeast corner.

No, sir. To the left of it. To the east of it.
Mr. Belin.
To the left as you faced the window?
Mr. Brewer.
Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Did the window come right up next to the corner there, do you remember?
Mr. Brewer.
No, sir; it didn't come up next to the corner. It was offset.
Mr. Belin.
Can you remember how far at all, or not?
Mr. Brewer.
No, sir; I don't remember the exact distance of it.
Mr. BELIN. Was any part of the paper sack under the window, if you remember or not?
That long paper sack?
Mr. Brewer.
No, sir.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember anything about what the sack looked like?
Mr. BREWER, Well, it was assumed at the time that it was the sack that the rifle was wrapped up in when it was brought into the building, and it appeared that it could have been used for that.
Mr. Belin.
Well, you mean you assumed that before you found the rifle?
Mr. Brewer.
Yes, sir; I suppose. That was discussed.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember anything else that was found around there or not?
Mr. Brewer.
Not in that particular area.
Mr. Belin.
Anything found anywhere else in the sixth floor?
Mr. Brewer.
Yes, sir. The rifle was found on the sixth floor.
Mr. Belin.
Where was that?
Mr. Brewer.
It was found in a northwest corner under some, in between some boxes that were stacked up there at the head of the stairs.
Mr. Belin.
Were you there when they found the rifle?
Mr. Brewer.
Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. How far away from the area were you when you found the rifle, if you remember?
Mr. Brewer.
Several feet from it. I don't remember exactly.
Mr. Belin.
Did you see the rifle?
Mr. BREWER, Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
Where was it located?
Mr. BREWER. It was laying down low on the floor or on the floor down between some, a very narrow space where boxes were stacked up there, and there was a space between the boxes, and it was laying down there in between it, like it had been stuck in there hurriedly, and possibly just before whoever laid it there went down the stairs.
Mr. BELIN. Anything else you found of significance in the building at all or not?
Mr. Brewer.
Not that I recall.
Mr. Belin.
