(Testimony of Miss Victoria Elizabeth Adams)
Now the windows are separate windows, but they are kind of in pairs, so to speak. Were you standing on the first pair of windows, either-one of those two windows?
Miss ADAMS. No, sir. Mr. BELIN. Counting from the east side, were you standing in the second pair of windows? Miss ADAMS. No, sir. Mr. BELIN. From the east side, were you standing in the third pair, of either of those windows? Miss ADAMS. Yes, sir. Miss ADAMS. The west window. Mr. BELIN. So another way, if you don't count in pairs, but count in single units from the east side, you would have been in the sixth window from your left as you were facing out the window, is that correct? Miss ADAMS. That's right. Miss ADAMS. Yes, sir. Miss ADAMS. I was standing with Sandra Styles, Elsie Dorman, and Dorothy May Garner. Miss ADAMS. I watched the motorcade come down Main, as it turned from Main onto Houston, and watched it proceed around the corner on Elm, and apparently somebody in the crowd called to the late President, because he and his wife both turned abruptly and faced the building, so we had a very good view of both of them. Miss ADAMS. I believe it was prior, just a second or so prior to that. Miss ADAMS. And from our vantage point we were able to see what the President's wife was wearing, the roses in the car, and things that would attract men's attention. Then we heard---then we were obstructed from the view. Miss ADAMS. A tree. and we heard a shot, and it was a pause, and then a second shot, and then a third shot. it sounded like a firecracker or a cannon at a football game, it seemed as if it came from the right below rather than from the left above. Possibly because of the report. And after the third shot, following that, the third shot, I went to the back of the building down the back stairs, and encountered Bill Shelley and Bill Lovelady on the first floor on the way out to the Houston Street dock. Mr. BELIN. When you say on the way out to the Houston Street dock, you mean now you were on the way out? Miss ADAMS. While I was on the way out. Miss ADAMS. Yes, sir; Sandra Styles. Mr. BELIN. Sometime after the third shot, and I don't want to get into the actual period of time yet, you went back into the stockroom which would be to the north of where your offices are located on the fourth floor, is that correct? Miss ADAMS. Yes, sir; that's correct. Miss ADAMS. I went to the back stairs. Mr. BELIN. Are there any other stairs that lead down from the fourth floor other than those back stairs in the rear of the stockroom? Miss ADAMS. No, sir.
