(Testimony of James Richard , Jr. Worrell)

Mr. Worrell.
I can't really be sure, it was a building, but the type of building. I don't know.
Mr. Specter.
During the course of your seeing him, did you ever get a view face?
Mr. Worrell.
Oh, no, no.
Mr. Specter.
All right. What did you do next, Mr. Worrell?
Mr. Worrell.
Well, I went on down this way and headed up back to Elm Street.
Mr. Specter.
Indicating you went on down to Pacific?
Mr. Worrell.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
And then proceeded--
Mr. Worrell.
No, no; that is wrong. I went on Pacific and--
Mr. Specter.
Just a minute. You proceeded from point "Y" on in a generally northerly direction to Pacific and then in what direction did you go on Pacific, this would be in an easterly direction?
Mr. Worrell.
I went east.
Mr. Specter.
You went in an easterly direction how many blocks down Pacific?
Mr. Worrell.
I went down to Market and from Market I went on Ross.
Mr. Specter.
You went left on Market down to Ross, and then?
Mr. Worrell.
From Ross I went all the way to Ervay.
Mr. Specter.
Where were you heading for at that time?
Mr. Worrell.
For the bus stop near my mother's office. And I rode the bus from there out to the school and hitchhiked the rest of the way to Farmers Branch.
Mr. Specter.
All right. When did you first report to any official what you had seen and heard on this occasion?
Mr. Worrell.
Well, I turned the TV on early next morning to see what had happened, and Chief Curry was making a plea--
Senator COOPER. Is that going to become a part of the evidence at this point?
Mr. Worrell.
Chief Curry was making a plea for anyone who had seen the shooting, would they please come down and make a statement. So I called the Farmer Branch police, and told them, and they come and picked me up, and they called the Dallas police, and they come way out there and picked me up and took me downtown to make a statement and brought me back home.
Mr. Specter.
Mr. Worrell, before we leave this Exhibit 361, are you able to testify as to the accuracy of the scale drawing here which represents the part of it that you have testified about, specifically the presence of the Texas School Book Depository Building on the northwest corner of Elm and Houston. Is that the accurate location of that building?
Mr. Worrell.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
And is it an accurate reproduction of the intersection of Elm and Houston leading into the parkway on Elm Street?
Mr. Worrell.
As far as this?
Mr. Specter.
Yes.
Mr. Worrell.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
As far as all the parts you have testified about Elm and Houston. Is it accurate that Pacific is one block in the northerly direction away from Elm Street?
Mr. Worrell.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
And Ross is another block, generally, in a northerly direction away from Pacific?
Mr. Worrell.
No, Ross is over here. This is Record Street.
Mr. Specter.
Well, first there is Elm, then there is Pacific, and then there is Ross. Is that much accurate as the map shows it to be, is that the way the streets are laid out?
Mr. Worrell.
I think so.
Mr. Specter.
How about the general width of Houston Street in relation to the general width of the Texas School Depository Building, is that about right?
Mr. Worrell.
I don't know, sir.
Mr. Specter.
All right, that is fine.
