Mr. Liebeler. You mean the officers went on down toward No. 5 on our Exhibit No. 354?
Mr. Barnett. When I got to the front, some of the officers were coming back toward me, started back toward me.
Mr. Liebeler. You were still back near the intersection of Elm and Houston?
Mr. Barnett. Yes, sir; I was back where No. 8 is then. That was probably 2½ minutes after the last shot was fired. About that time, my sergeant came up from this way, from the north of Houston Street and asked me to get the name of that building. I broke and ran to the front and got the name of it. There were people going in and out at that time. I ran back and told him the name of it, and about that time a construction worker ran from this southwest corner of the intersection up to me and said, "I was standing over there and saw the man in the window with the rifle." He and I and the sergeant all three broke and ran for the door. I kept the man there with me. The sergeant ran to the back to make sure it was covered. I kept the man there until they took him across the street to the courthouse. I was there until 3 o'clock, at the door there with one of the other officers, J. D. Smith.
Mr. Liebeler. You didn't actually go into the building at the time?
Mr. Barnett. No.
Mr. Liebeler. How long do you think it was from the time the last shot was fired until the time you were at the front door keeping people from going in and out?
Mr. Barnett. It was around 2½ minutes. Maybe between 2½ or 3 minutes.
Mr. Liebeler. From the time the last shot was fired until the time you were standing at that front door?
Mr. Barnett. Yes.
