Mr. Belin.

All right. After you saw him in the lobby of your store there, what you call a lobby area, which is really kind of an extension of the sidewalk, then you saw him leave?

Mr. Brewer.

Yes, he turned and walked up toward----

Mr. Belin.

Had the police sirens subsided at the time he turned, or not?

Mr. Brewer.

No; you could still hear sirens.

Mr. Belin.

Did they sound like they were coming toward you or going away?

Mr. Brewer.

They were going away at that time.

Mr. Belin.

Going the other way?

Mr. Brewer.

Yes.

Mr. Belin.

How could you tell?

Mr. Brewer.

They were getting further in the distance.

Mr. Belin.

Then what did you see this man do?

Mr. Brewer.

He turned and walked out of the lobby and went up West Jefferson toward the theatre, and I walked out the front and watched him, and he went into the theatre.

Mr. Belin.

What theatre is that?

Mr. Brewer.

Texas Theatre.

Mr. Belin.

Why did you happen to watch this particular man?

Mr. Brewer.

He just looked funny to me. Well, in the first place, I had seen him some place before. I think he had been in my store before. And when you wait on somebody, you recognize them, and he just seemed funny. His hair was sort of messed up and looked like he had been running, and he looked seared, and he looked funny.

Mr. Belin.

Did you notice any of his actions when he was standing in your lobby there?

Mr. Brewer.

No; he just stood there and stared.

Mr. Belin.

He stared?

Mr. Brewer.

Yes.

Mr. Belin.

Was he looking at the merchandise?

Mr. Brewer.

Not anything in particular. He was just standing there staring.

Mr. Belin.

Well, would you state then what happened? You said that you saw him walk into the Texas Theatre?

Mr. Brewster.

He walked into the Texas Theatre and I walked up to the theatre, to the box office and asked Mrs. Postal if she sold a ticket to a man who was wearing a brown shirt, and she said no, she hadn't. She was listening to the radio herself. And I said that a man walked in there, and I was going to go inside and ask the usher if he had seen him.
So I walked in and Butch Burroughs.----

Mr. Belin.

Who was Burroughs?

Mr. Brewer.

He was behind the counter. He operated the concession and takes tickets. He was behind the concession stand and I asked him if he had seen a man in a brown shirt of that description, matching that description, and he said he had been working behind the counter and hadn't seen anybody.
And I asked him if he would come with me and show me where the exits were and we would check the exits. And he asked me why.
I told him that I thought the guy looked suspicious.

Mr. Belin.

Could you tell whether or not he bought a ticket?

Mr. Brewer.

No; he just turned and walked right straight in.

Mr. Belin.

When he walked fight straight in, could you see the box office?

Mr. Brewer.

Well, the box office is right in the middle in front of the theatre, and he turned right at the corner and went in. You could see him if he was buying a ticket, because the box office is flush with all the other buildings.

Mr. Belin.

If he had purchased a ticket, would you have seen him purchasing the ticket from where you were standing or walking?

Mr. Brewer.

I could have seen him, yes; standing in front of the box office.

Mr. Belin.

Then did you know when you saw him walk in and when you walked up to Julia Postal that he had not bought a ticket?

Mr. Brewer.

I knew that he hadn't.
