Mr. BELIN. All right, if you don't care to guess, that is fine. We
would prefer that you not make any statement unless you feel fairly
sure about it.
What did you do when you got to this point?
Mr. EDWARDS. Stood there and waited for the motorcade to come.
Mr. BELIN. Did you look around at all?
Mr. EDWARDS. Certainly.
Mr. BELIN. Did you ever take a look at the south side of the Texas
School Book Depository Building? That would be facing--you would be
looking at the south side of the building?
Mr. EDWARDS. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Did you ever look at that at all?
Mr. EDWARDS. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Before the motorcade came by?
Mr. EDWARDS. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. What did you see?
Mr. EDWARDS. Nothing of importance except maybe one individual who was
up there in the corner room of the sixth floor which was crowded in
among boxes.
Mr. BELIN. You say on the sixth floor?
Mr. EDWARDS. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. What portion of the sixth floor as you looked at the
building to your right or to your left?
Mr. EDWARDS. To my right.
Mr. BELIN. How near the corner?
Mr. EDWARDS. The corner window.
Mr. BELIN. The corner window there?
Mr. EDWARDS. Right.
Mr. BELIN. Could you describe this individual at all? Was he a white
man or a Negro?
Mr. EDWARDS. White man.
Mr. BELIN. Tall or short, if you know?
Mr. EDWARDS. I couldn't say.
Mr. BELIN. Did he have anything in his hand at all that you could see?
Mr. EDWARDS. No.
Mr. BELIN. Could you see his hands?
Mr. EDWARDS. I don't remember.
Mr. BELIN. What kind of clothes did he have on?
Mr. EDWARDS. Light colored shirt, short sleeve and open neck.
Mr. BELIN. How much of him could you see? Shoulder up, waist up, knees
up, or what?
Mr. EDWARDS. From the waist on. From the abdomen or stomach up.
Mr. BELIN. Was the man fat, thin, or average in size?
Mr. EDWARDS. Oh, about average. Possibly thin.
Mr. BELIN. Could you tell whether he was light skinned or medium skin
or what, if you could tell?
Mr. EDWARDS. No.
Mr. BELIN. Was the sun shining in or not, if you know?
Mr. EDWARDS. Don't know.
Mr. BELIN. Was the sun out that day?
Mr. EDWARDS. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. What color hair did the man have?
Mr. EDWARDS. Light brown.
Mr. BELIN. Light brown hair?
Mr. EDWARDS. That is what I would say; yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Did you see any other people on the sixth floor?
Mr. EDWARDS. No.
Mr. BELIN. Did you notice whether or not there were any, or just did
you look and see any?
Mr. EDWARDS. I notice that there--I just didn't see any.
Mr. BELIN. What about the next floor above? Did you see any people on
the floor above?

Mr. BELIN. What about on any floors below? See any people on the fifth
floor?
Mr. EDWARDS. No.
Mr. BELIN. Fourth floor?
Mr. EDWARDS. No.
Mr. BELIN. Third floor?
