Mr. Couch. That's right; that's right. It's there that I saw the blood on the sidewalk.

Mr. Belin. All right. Now, you say you saw blood on the sidewalk, Mr. Couch?

Mr. Couch. That's right.

Mr. Belin. Where was that?

Mr. Couch. This was the little walkway—steps and walkway that leads up to the corner, the west corner, the southwest corner of the Book Depository Building. Another little sidewalk, as I recall, turns west and forms that little parkway and archway right next to the Book Depository Building.

Mr. Belin. Did this appear to be freshly created blood?

Mr. Couch. Yes; right.

Mr. Belin. About how large was this spot of blood that you saw?

Mr. Couch. Uh—from 8 to 10 inches in diameter.

Mr. Belin. Did people around there say how it happened to get there, or not?
