Mr. Ball. What did it do?
Mr. Bowers. He spent a little more time in the area. He tried—he circled the area and probed one spot right at the tower in an attempt to get and was forced to back out some considerable distance, and slowly cruised down back towards the front of the School Depository Building.
Mr. Ball. Then did he leave?
Mr. Bowers. The last I saw of him he was pausing just about in—just above the assassination site.
Mr. Ball. Did the car park, or continue on or did you notice?
Mr. Bowers. Whether it continued on at that very moment or whether it pulled up only a short distance, I couldn't tell. I was busy.
Mr. Ball. How long was this before the President's car passed there?
Mr. Bowers. This last car? About 8 minutes.
Mr. Ball. Were you in a position where you could see the corner of Elm and Houston from the tower?
Mr. Bowers. No; I could not see the corner of Elm and Houston. I could see the corner of Main and Houston as they came down and turned on, then I couldn't see it for about half a block, and after they passed the corner of Elm and Houston the car came in sight again.
