Mr. Ball. You think you heard four?
Mr. Skelton. Yes.
Mr. Ball. How long did you stay there after you heard the fourth shot?
Mr. Skelton. Not very long—just as soon as the cars sped away and everything was in a big commotion—we ran down to listen to the radio. We couldn't get anything off of that—we heard that the President had been shot and so we went back up there and the police officer asked us if we had seen the assassination and we told him we had. He said he would like to get a statement from us, so he took us over to the sheriff's office.
Mr. Ball. Did you see any pigeons flying or anything like that?
Mr. Skelton. No, sir; I didn't see anything like that—any pigeons at all.
Mr. Ball. I think that's all I have. This will be written up and submitted to you for your signature, if you want to sign it, or you can waive your signature.
Which do you want to do?
Mr. Skelton. I will waive my signature. I am sure it is all right.
Mr. Ball. That is fine. Thank you very much.
