Mr. Ball.

You were at that window all of the time?

Mr. Piper.

All the time.

Mr. Ball.

Did you ever go up on the sixth floor?

Mr. Piper.

No, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Were you there at any time that day?

Mr. Piper.

No, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Were you above the first floor that day up to the time of the shot?

Mr. Piper.

Before the shot?

Mr. Ball.

Yes.

Mr. Piper.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Where?

Mr. Piper.

At 11 o'clock I went to the fourth floor to pick up.

Mr. Ball.

You went to the fourth floor?

Mr. Piper.

Yes, at 11 o'clock.

Mr. Ball.

And you worked there for how long?

Mr. Piper.

I would just take about 10 or 15 minutes to pick up--not quite
that long, to pick up the mail and stuff in the fourth floor office.

Mr. Ball.

Then what did you do?

Mr. Piper.

I came back down to the third floor and picked up and from there to the second and picked up and on to the first floor.

Mr. Ball.

Is that what you usually did---was pick up?

Mr. Piper.

Yes, sir; every day.

Mr. Ball.

Do you do that every day?

Mr. Piper.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

You pick up mail?

Mr. Piper.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

You pick up mail from what offices?

Mr. Piper.

From---what the name of the office is?

Mr. Ball.

The different offices?
Mr. PIPER. Oh, I pick up mail first---on the fourth floor is Scott Pharmacy, and I come down on the third floor and I pick up there in the hall, you know, they have a hallway there and they put it out on the table---the packages and the mail, and I pick it up there unless they've got a name on the boards to see them in the ,office and then I go in the office. That's on the third floor. I come down on the second floor and I pick up for Southwestern. I goes in the office and that's the only office I go in there at Southwestern. Like I say---unless there is anything on the board that says see Ion Cunningham, and then I go in there. That's on the second floor, and from there back down to the first floor, and I unloads on the table on the first floor and that's when I'm through---I don't go back no more.

Mr. Ball.

You do that every day?

Mr. Piper.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

At a certain time?

Mr. Piper.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

At what time?

Mr. Piper.

At 11 and 3.

Mr. Ball.

Now, that day, November 22, 1963, you picked up the mail on the fourth floor at 11 did you?

Mr. Piper.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

And then came to the third?

Mr. Piper.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

And then to the second?

Mr. Piper.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

And what time did you come to the first floor?

Mr. PIPER. Well, it was close to---around about---it must have been about 11:30---about 11:30 when I came back.

Mr. Ball.

Did you leave the first floor from then on until lunch time, from 11:30 until 12?

Mr. Piper.

No.
Mr. BALL. What time was it that you spoke to Oswald and said you thought you would have your lunch?
Mr. PIPER. Just about 12 o'clock.
