Mr. Mooney. In other words, if you just run against it, you would have knocked it off.
The Chairman. Thank you very much for coming, sir. You have been very helpful.
Mr. Ball. Our next witness is Deputy Sheriff Boone.
TESTIMONY OF EUGENE BOONE
The Chairman. Sit right down, Mr. Boone.
Senator Cooper. The purpose of this hearing is to hear the testimony of M. L. Baker, Mrs. R. A. Reid, Eugene Boone, Luke Mooney, and M. N. McDonald. Officer Baker and Mrs. Reid were in the vicinity of the Texas School Book Depository Building at the time of the assassination. Deputy Sheriffs Boone and Mooney assisted in the search of the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository Building shortly after the assassination, and Officer McDonald apprehended Lee Harvey Oswald at the Texas theatre.
Will you be sworn? Do you solemnly swear the testimony you are about to give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Mr. Boone. I do.
Senator Cooper. You understand the purpose of this inquiry?
