Mr. Kellerman got out. I was a little bit more ahead than I had been. We back up, stopped the motor car, told everybody by radio what was happening, the other police that we were stopped. Before I was out of the car to give any assistance, why we were moving again.
Mr. Stern. Was that a built-up area with high buildings or were you still in the suburbs?
Mr. Lawson. No; that was a suburban-type of area, a shopping center-type of area out away from the downtown area.
Mr. Stern. I think perhaps now you could tell us what you observed and what transpired from the time your car turned into Houston Street off of Main.
Mr. Lawson. As I have said previously today, right around that corner I gave this radio broadcast that we were 5 minutes away.
Mr. Stern. Was this while you were on Houston or had you turned?
Mr. Lawson. We had turned the corner. We were either at the corner, I believe we were just about at the corner when I asked the question if I shouldn't give about a 5-minute signal now so we must have been around the corner then when I actually finished broadcasting. It doesn't take long.
Mr. Stern. Around the Houston-Elm corner?
Mr. Lawson. Yes, sir; right in front of the Book Depository Building, and then a little ways away from that probably by the time I had finished broadcasting.
I noticed a few people along the right-hand side I can recall now, and more people on the right-hand side than out in the center strip median which is there, a grassy center strip. There weren't many people on the left at all.
