Mr. Belin. About how close was this man to you when you saw him, the closest when you saw him coming through the bushes, approximately.

Mr. Scoggins. Oh, I would say from here to that chair down there.

Mr. Belin. Pardon?

Mr. Scoggins. About that chair down there.

Mr. Belin. 12 feet?

Mr. Scoggins. Yes.

Mr. Dulles. Referring to your tracing of the path that the man later found to be Oswald followed, he went through the lower of these two bushes there, did he? He went right through it?

Mr. Scoggins. Yes, sir. You see there is an opening in there.

Mr. Dulles. But he didn't apparently take the opening, according to this, because he went right through the bushes.

Mr. Scoggins. Well, because I didn't see any opening in there. Was there an opening in there?
