United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. Did he get beyond the sidewalk so that he was actually out
in the street?
Mr. DANIELS. I think he walked out in the street.
Mr. HUBERT. How far into the street?
Mr. DANIELS. That would be hard to say but I wasn't paying that much
attention, but he walked out into the street--he didn't get beyond the
center of the street, but he walked out in there.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, he left position No. 2 and went to a
position we will call No. 4 by a circle, and I will just write in there
"approximate position of Vaughn when Rio Pierce's car drove out," and
when I say "approximate," I am understanding you to say that you are
not sure how far into the street he went, you know he did not go
beyond the center stripe, but you think he went----
Mr. DANIELS. Almost----
Mr. HUBERT. Out over the sidewalk and into the street?
Mr. DANIELS. Yes; because there was some cars parked and he had to get
beyond them, you see.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, while you were watching the car and Vaughn, I think
you said you watched the car until it went around the corner. Did you
see anybody go down the ramp?
Mr. DANIELS. No, no; I didn't.
Mr. HUBERT. Would it have been possible for somebody to have gone to
your left and down the ramp?
Mr. DANIELS. You mean have gotten between me and there?
Mr. HUBERT. And the building--yes.
Mr. DANIELS. Not without me seeing them--I don't hardly think so.
Mr. HUBERT. In any case, they would have to climb over the little
marble----
Mr. DANIELS. Well, I was not exactly against it at that time. When the
car came out, I think I stepped back a little bit, you know, and moved
out of the way.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, you said that at one point you were standing on the
Western Union side of that concrete--what do you call it?
Mr. DANIELS. I call it a ramp.
Mr. HUBERT. Concrete ramp--sticking out in the sidewalk?
Mr. DANIELS. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. And you had your foot on it?
Mr. DANIELS. Yes; because I was in and out of that position, but when
the car came out, I left that and I stepped back out here a little
piece from the----
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, you left the area 3 and went more towards
the street?
Mr. DANIELS. I went towards the street and kind of back down the
sidewalk a little piece.
Mr. HUBERT. You went more towards the Main Street curb and back in the
direction of the Western Union?
Mr. DANIELS. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. In any case, you didn't see anybody go to your left?
Mr. DANIELS. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Nor did you see anybody go down the ramp?
Mr. DANIELS. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Then, after Vaughn had done this and the car had gone
around, what did Vaughn do?
Mr. DANIELS. He came back and took his position up again.
Mr. HUBERT. So that it is fair to say then that the position we have
marked on the map as position 2 was also the position of Vaughn after
the Rio Pierce automobile had gone through?
Mr. DANIELS. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. Tell us what happened after that?
