(Testimony of Amos Lee Euins)

Mr. Specter.
Now you are referring to 366. Put an "L" on 366 where you were standing at the first shot.
Mr. Euins.
Right here.
(Witness marking.)
Mr. Euins.
And then as I looked up there, you know, he fired another shot, you know, as I was looking. So I got behind this fountain thing right in there, at this point B.
Mr. Specter.
At point B, on 365?
Mr. Euins.
I got behind there. And then I watched, he did fire again. Then he started looking down towards my way, and then he fired again.
Mr. Specter.
The question I have for you now is where were you when he fired on that fourth time.
Mr. Euins.
I was still behind point B.
Mr. Specter.
You were still at point B when he fired the fourth time?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir. Then he pulled the gun back in the window.
Mr. Specter.
Did you see him pull the gun back in the window after the fourth shot?
Mr. Euins.
Yes; he just come back like this.
Mr. Specter.
Did you watch what he did after that?
Mr. Euins.
No, sir; because after he had pulled it back in the window, I ran this way, and went across the tracks.
Mr. Specter.
All right.
You start on Exhibit 365, and put the black mark and show us the path of where you ran on 365.
Mr. Euins.
I was here at "B."
(At this point, Representative Ford entered the hearing room.)
(Witness marking.)
Mr. Euins.
I was coming down like this here, and there was a policeman, you know there is a little cut you can come through there. There was a policeman standing right around here.
Mr. Specter.
Where was the policeman standing? Mark that with point "C," Amos.
Mr. Euins.
Right there.
(Witness marking.)
Mr. Specter.
You ran past the policeman standing at point C?
Mr. Euins.
No, sir. You see, I come from point B, and ran here, and told the policeman I had seen the shot, because they were looking at the railroad tracks. So he put me on the cycle and he went to here.
Mr. Specter.
He put you on the cycle and took you where?
Mr. Euins.
Up to the front of the building.
Mr. Specter.
The Texas School Book Depository Building?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir; and then he called some more cars. They got all around the building. And then the policemen came from the tracks, and they got around the building.
Mr. Specter.
Did you see the policemen come from the tracks to go around the building?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
About how many policemen were there, would you say, Amos?
Mr. Euins.
There was about 14 or something like that. They were coming from the tracks here.
Mr. Specter.
Do you know what the name of that policeman was, who was in that position where you have marked C?
Mr. Euins.
No, sir. He was kind of an old policeman. I ran down and got him. And he ran up here.
Mr. Specter.
You mean--
Mr. Euins.
The Book Depository Building.
Then he called some more cars. They got all the way around the building. And then after that, well, he seen another man. Another man told him he seen a man run out the back.
Mr. Specter.
Do you know who that man was who said somebody ran out the back?
Mr. Euins.
No, sir. He was a construction man working back there.
