Mr. Liebeler. As the motorcade turned and went down Elm Street, what happened?
Mr. Smith. I heard three shots, I guess they were shots. I thought that the first two were just firecrackers and kept my position and after the third one, I ran down the street here.
Mr. Liebeler. You ran down Elm Street?
Mr. Smith. Well, ran down Houston Street and then to Elm, and actually, I guess it was a little bit farther over than this, because after they turned the corner I couldn't see any of the cars, there were so many people standing there around the corner.
Mr. Liebeler. So, you were a little bit farther south down Elm Street than Position "A"?
Mr. Smith. Yes; possibly a little bit farther south than that—yes; I was under these windows here.
Mr. Liebeler. That's the county building there you are talking about?
Mr. Smith. Yes; a little bit farther down. Anyhow, I couldn't see down there without running over here, and I run down here at the time to see the Presidential car go under the triple underpass at a high rate of speed, and I pulled my pistol out and there was people laying down there and run down the street and that was about all. I thought when it came to my mind that there were shots, and I was pretty sure there were when I saw his car because they were leaving in such a hurry, I thought they were coming from this area here, and I ran over there and checked back of it and, of course, there wasn't anything there.
Mr. Liebeler. You thought the shot came from this little concrete structure up behind No. 7?
Mr. Smith. Yes, sir.
