Mr. Leavelle. I took one from her but I do not remember whether—just when I took it.
Mr. Ball. Then what did you do after that showup?
Mr. Leavelle. Well, I—Mr. Graves and I took Helen back home and after we dropped her off we stopped by this carlot, 501 East Jefferson, and talked with the manager or owner of that and found out that he was the one that had seen the man running. He had heard the shots and seen the man running, from the scene of the shooting and the colored porter there also had heard it, and they had gone to the scene and they said, each of them said, that they thought they might be able to identify the man that they saw running; they heard the shots and they ran outside and saw him running down the sidewalk across the street from the lot with the gun in his hand.
Mr. Ball. You also talked to Domingo Benavides?
Mr. Leavelle. Yes.
Mr. Ball. D-o-m-i-n-g-o B-e-n-a-v-i-d-e-s [spelling]. I would think it would be spelled differently.
Mr. Leavelle. He was supposed to be Mexican descent but that Benavides is actually an Italian name, I believe.
Mr. Ball. Well, did you talk to him also?
Mr. Leavelle. I talked with him but I do not believe we ever took an affidavit off him that I recall—may have.
Mr. Ball. Didn't he tell you that he picked up some empty hulls?
