Mr. Ball.

Were you ever in the Army?

Mr. Burroughs.

No, sir----they tried to get me, but I couldn't pass----I passed the physical part, but the mental part----I didn't make enough points on the score, so the board sent me a card back and classifying me different.

Mr. Ball.

On November 22, 1963, you were working at the Texas Theatre, were you?

Mr. Burroughs.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

What kind of job did you have?

Mr. Burroughs.

During the week I worked behind the concession. On weekends I usher.

Mr. Ball.

On weekends you usher?

Mr. Burroughs.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

During the week?

Mr. Burroughs.

I am behind the concession.

Mr. Ball.

During the afternoon of the week----do you take tickets too?

Mr. Burroughs.

Yes----I take tickets every day.

Mr. Ball.

You do?

Mr. Burroughs.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

And, run the concession?

Mr. Burroughs.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

If anybody comes in there without a ticket, what do you do, run them off?

Mr. Burroughs.

I make it a point to stop them and ask them to go out and get a ticket. I just failed to see him when he slipped in.

Mr. Ball.

We will get to that in a minute I want to see what you usually do if somebody comes in without a ticket.

Mr. Burroughs.

I Stop them and have them go out to the box office and get an admission ticket.

Mr. Ball.

On this day of November 22, 1963, what time did you go to work?

Mr. Burroughs.

I went to work at 12.

Mr. Ball.

You went to work that day at 12?

Mr. Burroughs.

That day at 12 o'clock----yes.

Mr. Ball.

And you later saw a struggle in the theatre between a man and some officers, didn't you?

Mr. Burroughs.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

Did you see that man come in the theatre?

Mr. Burroughs.

No, sir; I didn't.

Mr. Ball.

Do you have any idea what you were doing when he came in?

Mr. Burroughs.

Well, I was----I had a lot of stock candy to count and put in the candy case for the coming night, and if he had came around in front of the concession out there, I would have seen him, even though I was bent down, I would have seen him, but otherwise I think he sneaked up the stairs real fast.

Mr. Ball.

Up to the balcony?

Mr. Burroughs.

Yes, sir----first, I think he was up there.

Mr. Ball.

At least there was a stairway there?

Mr. Burroughs.

Yes, there was two.

Mr. Ball.

Is there a stairway near the entry?

Mr. Burroughs.

Of the door----yes. Yes, it goes straight----you come through the door and go straight----you go upstairs to the balcony.

Mr. Ball.

Did anybody come in there that day? Up to the time of the struggle between the man and the police .who didn't have a ticket?

Mr. Burroughs.

No, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Later on the police came in your place?

Mr. Burroughs.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

They asked you if you had seen a man come in there without a ticket?

Mr. Burroughs.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

What did you tell him?

Mr. Burroughs.

I said, "I haven't seen him myself. He might have, but I
