Mr. Liebeler.

Men from the department were assigned all along the motorcade route from the airport into downtown Dallas; is that correct?

Mr. Smith.

Correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

And other men were given instructions similar to or the same as the ones that you were given?

Mr. Smith.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Which was to keep traffic out of the way when the motorcade was coming, and keep an open and clear route, and to engage in general crowd control activities?

Mr. Smith.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Were there any instructions given to you men about scanning buildings?

Mr. Smith.

Sir, I don't remember. It is more or less the general thing to do. I mean, just police the area. But I don't remember any specific instructions on that.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now after you received your instructions at 8:45, what did you do?

Mr. Smith.

I proceeded to the intersection of Elm and Houston, and it was about 9:50 or 10 o'clock when I was on the corner there. At approximately 11:50 or 12 o'clock, there was a white male that had an epileptic seizure on the esplanade on Houston Street between Main and Elm. Well, I went down to see if any assistance was needed, and I stayed there until the white male was loaded into an ambulance and sent to a hospital. Then I proceeded back to my assignment.

Mr. Liebeler.

Were there any other officers there in connection with this fellow that had the epileptic fit?

Mr. Smith.

Yes; there was one more. He was a radio patrolman.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember his name?

Mr. Smith.

I don't remember his name. I swear, I was trying to think of it before this even.

Mr. Liebeler.

He was a radio patrolman? You mean he was driving a motorcycle or had a car?

Mr. Smith.

No; he was assigned, I think, if I am not mistaken, I think he was assigned to Main and Houston, and he was down there with the man when arrived at the scene.

Mr. Liebeler.

So you called an ambulance, or an ambulance was called and this man was taken away, and you went back to the corner of Elm and Houston Streets?

Mr. Smith.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

How many officers were assigned at Elm and Houston?

Mr. Smith.

Three of us.

Mr. Liebeler.

Who were the other two men?

Mr. Smith.

W. E. Barnett, and E. L. Smith. I think that is his initials. I know it is another Smith boy anyway.

Mr. Liebeler.

How did you station yourself when you got there?

Mr. Smith.

Just after we got the epileptic seizure en route to the hospital, I hadn't gotten back to the corner but just a few minutes until the motorcade was coming, so I stationed myself on Elm Street in the middle from the southeast curb of Elm and Houston and held traffic up.

Mr. Liebeler.

Which direction would this traffic have been coming from that you held up?

Mr. Smith.

It was heading west on Elm.

Mr. Liebeler.

Coming down Elm toward the triple underpass? Coming into the intersection of Elm and Houston?

Mr. Smith.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

So you were the individual patrolman who went back and held up the traffic to Elm. Street; is that right?

Mr. Smith.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

So you would have been on the eastern side of Houston Street on Elm Street holding up the traffic that was coming down Elm Street?

Mr. Smith.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

From that position, could you have observed the windows on
