Mr. Belin. All right.
Mr. Sawyer. It is southeast across the street from the Texas School Book Depository, at least from the corner, and so we set up a group of officers and deputy sheriffs who were to take charge of the witnesses and take them over to see that affidavits were taken from them.
They were more or less an escort service so the witness wouldn't get away.
And then as our detectives began to show up, I sent them over to the Sheriff's Office to assist in taking these depositions or affidavits.
Mr. Belin. How many witnesses were there around there during this period of time that you talked to?
Mr. Sawyer. Well, during the entire period of time that I was there, I would venture to say between 25 to 50 different people had come up with information of one kind or another.
Mr. Belin. Now, on this radio log, Sawyer's Deposition Exhibit A, do you notice your number there for any calls at all that might have come in? What number did you use?
Mr. Sawyer. I used No. 9. That is my regular call No. 9.
Mr. Belin. I notice here a No. 9, the first time that appears to come in here is at 12:40 p.m.; is that right?
Mr. Sawyer. That is the first one after 12:40, sir.
