Do you remember that you signed a statement when you were down at the Dallas Police Department at all, or not?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
I'm going to hand you what has been marked as Virginia Davis Deposition, Exhibit 2, and ask you to state if this is your signature on here?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
Would you read the contents of your deposition Exhibit 2, and I will ask you if there is anything there that is inaccurate. (Reads statement.)
Mr. Belin.
You have read Exhibit 2?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
Is there anything in that statement that is inaccurate in any way?
Mrs. Davis.
No, sir.
Mr. Belin.
Is that what you told the police of Dallas on November 22, 1963?
Mrs. Davis.
That's right.
Mr. Belin.
Now on this statement it says that you heard a shot and then another shot and ran to the side door at Patton Street. Was that the side door or front door?
Mrs. Davis.
It was the front door.
Mr. Belin.
Then it says, "I saw the boy cutting across our yard and he was unloading his gun." Is that correct?
Mrs. Davis.
That's right.
Mr. Belin.
Then it says, "We walked outside and a woman was hollering, 'He's dead, he's dead, he's shot.' " Is that. right?
Mrs. Davis.
That's right.
Mr. Belin.
Then it says, "This woman told Jeanette to call the police and she did." Is that what happened?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
It says, "I saw the officer that had been shot lying on 10th Street after Jeanette had called the police." Is that right?
Mrs. Davis.
That's right.
Mr. Belin.
Now it says, "Jeanette found a empty shell that the man had unloaded and gave it to the police." Did you see Jeanette find that shell?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes. I was right along behind her.
Mr. Belin.
Where did she find it?
Mrs. Davis.
She found it beside, well, the apartment was facing this way.
Mr. Belin.
Facing Patton Street?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes, sir. And we was already outside. We thought maybe we could find some evidence for the polices so we went through the hedge, and by my front door of the apartment where we live, right there in the grass where he dropped them.
Mr. Belin.
Had the police started to search around your house yet when they found it?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes; they already started to search.
Mr. Belin.
Would this have been to the side of the house or the corner of the house that you found, that Jeanette found that shell?
Mrs. Davis.
It was by the side.
Mr. Belin.
This would have been by the side of the house that is next to Patton Street?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
About how far from the front of the house would it be?
Mrs. Davis.
It was about 5 feet.
Mr. Belin.
About 5 feet. You saw Jeanette find the shell? You saw her pick it up from the ground?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
What color was it, do you remember?
Mrs. Davis.
The best I can recall, it was gray, one of these
Mr. Belin.
The best you can recall, it was gray?
Mrs. Davis.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
What did Jeanette do with it?
Mrs. Davis.
She gave it to some detective.
