Mr. Belin. Did you hear over the radio that the President had died?
Mr. Brewer. I heard a rumor. They said that—one of the Secret Service men said that the President had died, and said that was just a rumor.
Mr. Belin. Do you remember hearing anything else over the radio concerning anything that happened that afternoon?
Mr. Brewer. Well, they kept reconstructing what had happened and what they had heard, and they talked about it in general. There wasn't too much to talk about. They didn't have all the facts, and just repeated them mostly. And they said a patrolman had been shot in Oak Cliff.
Mr. Belin. Is Oak Cliff the area in which your shoe store was located?
Mr. Brewer. Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin. All right, would you describe what happened after you heard on the radio that an officer had been shot?
Mr. Brewer. Well, there was heard a siren coming down East Jefferson headed toward West Jefferson.
Mr. Belin. What is the dividing street between East and West Jefferson?
Mr. Brewer. Beckley.
