Mr. Fischer. This was at—oh—1 o'clock on or about 1 o'clock.
Mr. Belin. You then went to Sheriff Decker's office?
Mr. Fischer. I went to Decker's office and—uh—Bob Edwards was in there. He looked up—and he had given them my name and told them—at least, this is what he told me—that he told them that we had both been standing there together and had seen this man in the window of the School Book Depository Building. So, that's why they came to get me—because he had told them.
There were a lot of other people in the office—12 or 15 other people. They all seemed to be connected with it in some way or another. And I noticed, too, in Sheriff Decker's office was this man and woman and two boys that we had talked to down the street there on Elm that had hit the ground when the shots started.
Mr. Belin. Now, this man that you saw in the window—did he appear to be standing or sitting—or couldn't you tell?
Mr. Fischer. He must not have been standing because I don't think the floor was that far away. He could have been standing—I'll take that back. He would have had to have been crouched over. He didn't look like he was crouched over or bent over. He must have been—I'm guessing—but I'm thinking he must have been on his knees or maybe sitting, on a box maybe. But he—I don't think that it's possible that he was standing.
Mr. Belin. Was he sitting or crouching, or whatever he was doing, in a straight-up position?
Mr. Fischer. No; he was leaning forward slightly.
Mr. Belin. About how far forward was he leaning—or couldn't you tell?
Mr. Fischer. Oh, it was slightly—enough to where I could tell, but—oh—his head wasn't out of the window and his head wasn't past the window sill. If he had been much further back in, it would have been hard for me to see him at all.
