Mr. Hubert. Therefore, of course, it was before you followed on to the hospital?
Mrs. Cabell. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Did you make the observation to anyone at that time that you had smelled gunpowder?
Mrs. Cabell. No; because there was too much confusion. But I mentioned it to Congressman Roberts when we were in Washington a couple of weeks ago.
Mr. Hubert. Did he say that he had observed it?
Mrs. Cabell. As well as I remember, he said "Yes." We were in a group, a large group, and there was much conversation.
Mr. Hubert. Did you hear any other spontaneous remarks by anyone else? By spontaneous remarks, I mean remarks made then, not later.
Mrs. Cabell. Congressman Roberts—and I believe this was after the third shot, because we were dead still for a matter of some seconds—then when the motorcade started up, Congressman Roberts said—these might not be his exact words, but this is what he meant: "If all is well ahead, we are headed for Love Field. We are getting out."
Mr. Hubert. His previous remark about the caliber of the rifle, which you did not at that time understand, was made after the third shot was fired and before you began to move?
Mrs. Cabell. Yes.
