(Testimony of Mrs. Charlie Virginia Davis)

Mrs. Davis.
Then we went out in the front yard and right down to the police car and that is when we saw the policeman lying on the street.
Mr. Belin.
Where was the policeman lying?

Mrs. DAVIS. He was lying just, well, he was half between the front end of his car and, well, his head was lying toward the front end of it.
Mr. Belin.
Was he on the driver's side of the front or on the other side?
Mrs. Davis.
He was on the driver's side.
Mr. Belin.
All right, now, as I understand your testimony, after you made the call, you went out to the front yard, is that it?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
You then went out to see the policeman in the street?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
When you went out in the front yard, were you in the front yard when the man was going by there?
Mrs. Davis.
No, sir; he had already gone when we went outside.
Mr. Belin.
He had already gone when you went outside?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
I thought you said that when you went outside you went on the sidewalk?
Mrs. Davis.
See, all the people had already--see, he was already gone.
Mr. Belin.
Had he gone by at that time?
Mrs. Davis.
By the time we got back from off the phone, he had already gone. He had already disappeared behind the corner of our house.
Mr. Belin.
Did you see him going in front of your house before you called on the phone?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes. When we heard the second shot, we ran to the front door, and that is when we saw the boy cutting across the yard.
Mr. Belin.
Well, let me see if I understand your statement now. You went to the front door after you heard the second shot?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
What did you do when you got to the front door? Did you open the front door, or not?
Mrs. Davis.
No, sir; we just looked through the front door.
Mr. Belin.
You looked through the front door?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Was there a screen door on it or not?
Mrs. Davis.
It was a screen door.
Mr. Belin.
Were you looking through the screen door, or was the screen door partially open, if you remember.
Mrs. Davis.
It was closed. We was looking through it.
Mr. Belin.
You were looking through the screen door?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Were you in front of your sister-in-law, or was she in front of you?
Mrs. Davis.
She was in front of me.
Mr. Belin.
You were both looking through the screen door?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
What did you see when you looked through the screen door?
Mrs. Davis.
We saw a boy walking, cutting across our yard.
Mr. Belin.
Where was he when you first saw him?
Mrs. Davis.
He was about 3 feet from the sidewalk. Not the one that comes up to our front door, but the other sidewalk.
Mr. Belin.
He was about 3 feet from the front sidewalk on East 10th?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Had he come up to your sidewalk yet that comes up from East 10th to your front door?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes, he had already. He was about half on the concrete, I think.
Mr. Belin.
He was half on that concrete?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Then what did you watch this man do?
Mrs. Davis.
We watched him unload the shells out of his gun.
Mr. Belin.
What hand was he holding this gun in?
