Mr. Belin.

When you first saw him, had he gotten up to your yard yet or not?

Mrs. Davis.

Yes; he was cutting over across our yard.

Mr. Belin.

He was cutting across your walk that leads up to the front door?

Mrs. Davis.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

About how far from the main sidewalk on East 10th was he?

Mrs. Davis.

He was about 3 feet.

Mr. Belin.

About 3 feet or so?

Mrs. Davis.

Yes; when I first saw him.

Mr. Belin.

Then he was cutting across your sidewalk about 3 feet away from the main sidewalk?

Mrs. Davis.

Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Then did you see him-how long did you see him? Where did you see him go?

Mrs. Davis.

We saw him go around the corner of our house.

Mr. Belin.

How far did you see him go?

Mrs. DAVIS. Well, when he disappeared around that corner, that is the last we saw of him.

Mr. Belin.

Did you see him go through any bushes by your house or not? Or didn't you see him?

Mrs. Davis.

No, sir.

Mr. Belin.

You mean you didn't see him?

Mrs. Davis.

We saw him when he cut across our yard.

Mr. Belin.

Where was he when you last saw him? He was---was he still in your yard, or was he on the sidewalk on Patton Street?

Mrs. Davis.

He was still in our yard.

Mr. Belin.

Then what did you do

Mrs. Davis.

We already called the police.

Mr. Belin.

You called the police before you saw him

Mrs. DAVIS. When Mrs. Markham was standing across the street hollering, she told us to call the police, so Jeanette and I went in there, and Jeanette called the police and we went back and he was cutting across our yard, and we gave him time to go on because we were afraid he might shoot us.
Mr. BELIN. Did you call the police before or after you saw him cut across your yard?

Mrs. Davis.

Before.
Mr. BELIN. In other words, to your---to the best of your recollection, you heard the shots, you ran outside, you saw Mrs. Markham---did you see anything else when you saw Mrs. Markham?

Mrs. Davis.

No, sir; we just saw a police car sitting on the side of the road.

Mr. Belin.

Where was the police car parked?

Mrs. DAVIS. It was parked between the hedge that marks the apartment house where he lives in and the house next door.

Mr. Belin.

Was it on your side of East 10th or the other side of the street?

Mrs. Davis.

It was on our side, the same side that we lived on.

Mr. Belin.

Was it headed as you looked to the police car, towards your right or towards your left?

Mrs. Davis.

Right.
Mr. BELIN. Did you see any police officer in a police car when you first saw him?

Mrs. Davis.

No, sir.

Mr. Belin.

When your sister went to call the police, did you go with her, or did you stay by the front door?

Mrs. Davis.

I went with her.

Mr. Belin.

What did you hear your sister do?

Mrs. Davis.

Well, she called the police and told whoever answered the phone that there had been a murder out in front of our house, to come quick.

Mr. Belin.

Then what did she do?

Mrs. Davis.

She hung up and then we went back to the front door and told the two kids to stay indoors.

Mr. Belin.

Then what did you do?
