Mr. Belin. You went into your office?
Mrs. Reid. Yes.
Mr. Belin. And then what did you do?
Mrs. Reid. Well, I kept walking and I looked up and Oswald was coming in the back door of the office. I met him by the time I passed my desk several feet and I told him, I said, "Oh, the President has been shot, but maybe they didn't hit him."
He mumbled something to me, I kept walking, he did, too. I didn't pay any attention to what he said because I had no thoughts of anything of him having any connection with it at all because he was very calm. He had gotten a coke and was holding it in his hands and I guess the reason it impressed me seeing him in there I thought it was a little strange that one of the warehouse boys would be up in the office at the time, not that he had done anything wrong. The only time I had seen him in the office was to come and get change and he already had his coke in his hand so he didn't come for change and I dismissed him. I didn't think anything else.
Mr. Belin. When you saw him, I believe you said you first saw him when he was coming through the door?
Mrs. Reid. Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin. Turning to Exhibit 497, what doorway was it where you first saw him?
Mrs. Reid. Right here.
Mr. Belin. You are pointing to the doorway between numbers 27 and 28?
