Mr. Dulles. And you did not hear the content of any further conversations?
Mr. Brian. No, sir; other than that he said he knew he was a Communist and knew he was working in the Book Depository.
Mr. Dulles. Did further conversations take place between Lieutenant Revill and Agent Hosty after that?
Mr. Brian. Yes, sir; they walked on talking.
Mr. Dulles. But you did not hear what they said at that time?
Mr. Brian. I was behind them and Lieutenant Revill got in a hurry when that happened and they got on and I was behind them, and it is pretty hard to hear what people are saying in front of you when they have got their back turned to you and you are behind them.
Mr. Dulles. You have indicated that in paragraph 3 of Exhibit 7. You say, "While we were in the basement Hosty also said several things to Lieutenant Revill that I could not hear," because of the excitement and commotion, that is what you had reference to?
Mr. Brian. Yes, sir; they were conversing as they walked on and I couldn't hear them and I didn't hear what they said, I was behind them. I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to the whole thing because like I say I didn't think it would matter any. It was just—and things were happening pretty fast, and along about that time.
Mr. Dulles. That is all I have, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Rankin. Mr. Chairman, I would like to offer the diagram, Exhibit 839, if I may.
