Mr. Liebeler. Well, your wife was back closer toward the intersection of Main Street and Houston Street?
Mr. Willis. No; it is a very short distance when you stand in here. No; that is the one across the street—no; here she was. She was in between Main, and Elm Streets, but real near Elm Street. In fact, she was only a few feet back from my daughters. She wasn't more than 40 feet from where the President was hit.
Mr. Liebeler. So she was toward the triple underpass from the concrete structure on Dealey Plaza?
Mr. Willis. She was inside the concrete structure looking through an opening.
Mr. Liebeler. Looking toward the triple underpass?
Mr. Willis. Toward the Texas School Book Depository where she had a clear view, and there were surprisingly few people there at that time—at that moment—and none in between her and the street to block her vision.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you actually observe the President when he was hit in the head?
Mr. Willis. No, sir; I did not. I couldn't see that well, and I was more concerned about the shots coming from that building. The minute the third shot was fired, I screamed, hoping the policeman would hear me, to ring that building because it had to come from there. Being directly across the street from the building, made it much more clear to those standing there than the people who were on the side of the street where the building was.
Mr. Liebeler. So you thought you had picked out a particular building at the time when you heard the shots?
Mr. Willis. Absolutely.
