(Testimony of W. E. Barnes)

Mr. Belin.
Do you remember where he might have located it? What approximate location?
Mr. Barnes.
I was a busy man and I didn't watch his operation.
Mr. Belin.
Anything else out there?
Mr. Barnes.
Not that I can recall at this time.
Mr. Belin.
Now you took pictures of the Tippit vehicle?
Mr. Barnes.
The what?
Mr. Belin.
Of the Tippit police car. You took pictures of that out there?
Mr. Barnes.
Yes; I did.
Mr. Belin.
Did you take any pictures of anything on the street in the immediate vicinity of the car?
Mr. Barnes.
Yes; I did.
Mr. Belin.
What was that?
Mr. Barnes.
I took a picture of a stop sign that was located down at the intersection of Patton and 10th. We had a report that we thought maybe that might have had some significance on the case.
I also took shots at the rear of the car on the parking lot where a jacket was discarded by the suspect.
Mr. Belin.
Where would that be?
Mr. Barnes.
In the alley between Patton and the next street over.
Mr. Belin.
The next street to the west?
Mr. Barnes.
Between Patton and the alley that ran between the two. I would have to check on the map. Cumberland--you got a street map?
Mr. Belin.
I have a map here which, if you will excuse me for a moment, I will try and get.
Mr. Barnes.
I sure will. Crawford.
Mr. Belin.
We now have a map of Dallas, and you say that the jacket was found in the alley between Patton and Crawford? Where with relation to 10th or Jefferson?
Mr. Barnes.
It would be between Jefferson and 10th in the alley that separates those two streets, and running from Patton and Crawford.
Mr. Belin.
You say running from Patton and Crawford. You mean parallel?
Mr. Barnes.
It runs parallel to Jefferson.
Mr. Belin.
Parallel to Jefferson?
Mr. Barnes.
Between Patton and Crawford.
Mr. Belin.
Between Patton and Crawford. Was there a Texaco station around there at all?
Mr. Barnes.
There is a service station right south of it. The kind of station that it is, I don't recall the kind of station it was, but there is a service station, and sort of a parking lot where this jacket was discarded. We got photos of this car where the jacket was found just behind it.
Mr. Belin.
Now you took some pictures out there, you say, is that correct?
Mr. Barnes.
I did.
(Discussion off the record for selection of pictures.)
Mr. Belin.
Sergeant Barnes, I am going to hand you some pictures which we will mark as "Barnes Deposition Exhibits A, B, C, D, and E" on the deposition of Barnes, and I am going to ask you to state whether or not the original negatives from which these prints were made were taken by you?
Mr. Barnes.
They were.
Mr. Belin.
Now the first one, Barnes Deposition Exhibit A, is a picture of the Dallas Police squadcar No. 10. Was that the Tippit automobile?
Mr. Barnes.
It was.
Mr. Belin.
About when did you say you got out to the Tippit scene?
Mr. Barnes.
Approximately 1:40.
Mr. Belin.
1:40 in the afternoon?
Mr. Barnes.
Approximately, November 22.
Mr. Belin.
When would you have started taking these pictures?
Mr. Barnes.
Shortly afterwards.
Mr. Belin.
Within 5 or 10 minutes?
Mr. Barnes.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Now I notice on the right-front door window it appears that the
