Mrs. Postal.

didn't know who he was at that time and they was trying to hold him, because he was putting up a struggle, and then trying to keep the public off, and on the way to the car, parked right out front, one of the officers was----at that time I thought he was putting his hat on the man's face to try to keep the public from grabbing him by the hair, but I later read in the paper it was to cover his face and then he got him in the ear, and all bedlam, so far as the public, broke.

Mr. Ball.

They drove away with him, did they?

Mrs. Postal.

Yes, sir; that one ear did; uh-huh.

Mr. Ball.

Did you ever go down to the police station?

Mrs. Postal.

Police station?

Mr. Ball.

Yes; later the city hall or police office?

Mrs. Postal.

Yes; I went down to the homicidal bureau.

Mr. Ball.

When?

Mrs. Postal.

Well, let's see, that was a Friday. I believe it was the Thursday following.

Mr. Ball.

You didn't go down there that day?

Mrs. Postal.

No, stir.

Mr. Ball.

Did you go down there the next day?

Mrs. Postal.

No, sir.

Mr. Ball.

According to your affidavit, it shows that you signed it on the 4th of December. Would that be about right?

Mrs. Postal.

Was that on Thursday?

Mr. Ball.

Yes; I think.

Mrs. Postal.

I can't remember. I think it was a Thursday.

Mr. Ball.

That was after Oswald was dead?

Mrs. Postal.

Yes; well, yes; because he was killed on the 24th, yes; because I know I didn't go down until the following week.

Mr. Ball.

Now, was it after Oswald, the man brought out on----out of the theatre was taken away in the car that the officer called and said, "I'm sure we have got our man---- "?

Mrs. Postal.

No, sir; that officer came out of the theatre and grabbed at the phone and made the call about simultaneously as they were bringing Oswald out.

Mr. Ball.

And that was when you heard that Officer Tippit had been shot?

Mrs. Postal.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Why didn't Warren Burroughs see him get in, get in there? Do you have any idea?

Mrs. Postal.

We talked about that, and the concession stand is along here, and if he came in on the other end, which we summarized that is what Oswald did, because the steps, immediately as you open the door there. It has been done before with kids trying to sneak in, run right on up in the balcony.

Mr. Ball.

You asked Warren Burroughs why he didn't see him. did you?

Mrs. Postal.

Yes; we kidded him quite a bit anyway, because some people do then get by him.

Mr. Ball.

What did he say?

Mrs. Postal.

Ah, he said at first that he had seen him, and I says, "Now, Butch, if you saw him come in----" says, "Well, I saw him going out." But he didn't really see him. So, he just summarized that he ran up in the balcony, because if he had come through the foyer, Butch would have seen him.

Mr. Ball.

He was arrested, though, down in the orchestra, the second row from the----

Mrs. Postal.

Third.

Mr. Ball.

Third?

Mrs. Postal.

Three rows down, five seats over.

Mr. Ball.

I was trying to say the third row. How could he get from the balcony down there?

Mrs. Postal.

Oh, that is very easy. You can go up in the balcony and fight straight down, those steps come back down, and that would bring you into it. He wouldn't have to go by Butch at all.

Mr. Ball.

Oh, I see. And he could get into the balcony without Butch's seeing him?

Mrs. Postal.

Yes; if Butch was down in the other end getting something.
