Mr. Bowers. On the triple underpass, there were two policemen. One facing each direction, both east and west. There was one railroad employee, a signal man there with the Union Terminal Co., and two welders that worked for the Fort Worth Welding firm, and there was also a laborer's assistant furnished by the railroad to these welders.
Mr. Ball. You saw those before the President came by, you saw those people?
Mr. Bowers. Yes; they were there before and after.
Mr. Ball. And were they standing on the triple underpass?
Mr. Bowers. Yes; they were standing on top of it facing towards Houston Street, all except, of course, the one policeman on the west side.
Mr. Ball. Did you see any other people up on this high ground?
Mr. Bowers. There were one or two people in the area. Not in this same vicinity. One of them was a parking lot attendant that operates a parking lot there. One or two. Each had uniforms similar to those custodians at the courthouse. But they were some distance back, just a slight distance back.
Mr. Ball. When you heard the sound, which way were you looking?
Mr. Bowers. At the moment I heard the sound, I was looking directly towards the area—at the moment of the first shot, as close as my recollection serves, the car was out of sight behind this decorative masonry wall in the area.
Mr. Ball. And when you heard the second and third shot, could you see the car?
