(Testimony of Mrs. Charlie Virginia Davis)
Mr. Belin.
All, right, you went with the detective to a dark room?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
What did you do when you got to the dark room?
Mrs. Davis.
He told us to sit down.
Mr. Belin.
All right.
Mrs. Davis.
And then these five boys, or men walked up on this platform, and he was No. 2.
Mr. Belin.
You say he was No. 2. Who was No. 2?
Mrs. Davis.
The boy that shot Tippit.
Mr. Belin.
You mean the man--did you see him shoot Tippit? Or you mean the man you saw with the gun?
Mrs. Davis.
The man I saw carrying the gun.
Mr. Belin.
Was he white or a Negro man?
Mrs. Davis.
He was white.
Mr. Belin.
Were all the men in the lineup white men or some Negroes?
Mrs. Davis.
All of them were white.
Mr. Belin.
Could you describe any other people in the lineup as to whether they might be fat or thin or short or tall?
Mrs. Davis.
Well, one of them was sort, well, he was tall and slim. And then the other one there, he was sort of chubby and he was short. Then this other one, he was about the same height as the other one, the last one I told you about, short and chubby. And the other one was about--medium tail.
Mr. Belin.
Now you identified someone in that lineup?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
Did you hear your sister-in-law identify him first, or not?
Mrs. Davis.
No, sir; I identified him first.
Mr. Belin.
Where was your sister when you identified him?
Mrs. Davis.
She was sitting right next to me.
Mr. BELIN. How did you identify him? Did you yell that this is the man I saw?
Mrs. Davis.
No; I just leaned over and told the detective it was No. 2.
Mr. Belin.
Where was the detective? Was he to your right or to your left?
Mrs. Davis.
Let's see, to my right.
Mr. Belin.
Where was your sister, to your right or to your left?
Mrs. Davis.
Right.
Mr. Belin.
As she was to your right, so you leaned over to the detective and told the detective it was No. 2?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
Anything else that you can think of that happened that day?
Mrs. Davis.
No, sir.
Mr. Belin.
Later did you ever see a picture of Lee Harvey Oswald on television?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
When did you first see it on television?
Mrs. Davis.
When they was bringing him out of the jail out here.
Mr. Belin.
When?
Mrs. Davis.
When they were bringing him out of the jail.
Mr. Belin.
You mean Sunday when he got shot?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Did this look, could you tell whether this was the same man you saw running with the gun?
Mrs. Davis.
I wouldn't say for sure.
Mr. Belin.
You mean from seeing his picture on television?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
What about the man you identified as No. 2? Would you say for sure that he was the man you saw running with the gun?
Mrs. Davis.
I would say that was him for sure.
Mr. BELIN. What you are saying is that you couldn't necessarily tell from the television picture?
Mrs. Davis.
No, sir. Our television was blurred anyway, so we couldn't hardly tell.
