Mr. Montgomery.

Let me see, that morning I was working 8 to 4.

Mr. Ball.

And to what work were you assigned?

Mr. Montgomery.

Well, that particular morning at that time we was trying to round up some hijackers.

Mr. Ball.

Were you sent down to the Texas State Book Depository?

Mr. Montgomery.

Yes, sir; I was.

Mr. Ball.

What time did you get there?

Mr. Montgomery.

I got there, I guess--it was about 12:40 or 12:45.

Mr. Ball.

And what did you do when you got there?

Mr. Montgomery.

I reported to the sixth floor there.

Mr. Ball.

Did you take part in the search of the sixth floor?

Mr. Montgomery.

Well, first I reported to Captain Fritz, my partner and I and he assigned us to this position over there where the boxes were.

Mr. Ball.

Where was that?

Mr. Montgomery.

It would be what--the southeast corner of the building--over there from where the shooting took place.

Mr. Ball.

Well, was that before the cartridges had been found or afterwards?

Mr. Montgomery.

No, sir; they had been found when we got there.

Mr. Ball.

When you got there they had been found already?

Mr. MONTGOMERY. Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

What about the rifle, had it been found?

Mr. Montgomery.

No, Sir; it hadn't.

Mr. Ball.

The rifle was found after you got there?

Mr. Montgomery.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

Did you see anything else over in the southeast corner of that sixth floor?

Mr. Montgomery.

Well, sir, as I say, there was a lot of boxes and there was a sack and there was this pieces of chicken.

Mr. Ball.

Was there a piece of chicken over there?

Mr. Montgomery.

Yes, sir--there was chicken bones and what not--it looked like somebody had been eating chicken there.

Mr. Ball.

Where was that?

Mr. Montgomery.

It was right there with the boxes---right there on the floor.

Mr. Ball.

On the floor?

Mr. Montgomery.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

All right.

Mr. Montgomery.

Well, let me see, there was one piece of chicken on a box and there was a piece on the floor--just kind of scattered around right there.

Mr. Ball.

Where was the paper sack?

Mr. Montgomery.

Let's see--the paper sack--I don't recall for sure if it was on the floor or on the box, but I know it was just there----one of those pictures might show exactly where it was.

Mr. Ball.

I don't have a picture of the paper sack.

Mr. Montgomery.

You don't? Well, it was there--I can't recall for sure if it was on one of the boxes or on the floor there.

Mr. Ball.

It was over in what corner?

Mr. Montgomery.

It would be the southeast corner of the building there where the shooting was.

Mr. Ball.

Did you turn the sack over to anybody or did you pick it up?

Mr. Montgomery.

Yes---let's see Lieutenant Day and Detective Studebaker came up and took pictures and everything, and then we took a Dr. Pepper bottle and that sack that we found that looked like the rifle was wrapped up in.

Mr. Ball.

Now, where was the Dr. Pepper bottle?

Mr. Montgomery.

It was over a little more to the west of that window.

Mr. Ball.

There was a sack of chicken bones with that--near that Dr. Pepper bottle?

Mr. Montgomery.

No; the Dr. Pepper bottle, the best I can recall, was sitting over there by itself.

Mr. Ball.

Where was the sack with the chicken in it?
