Mr. Ball. You say you turned and were starting back to the courthouse—what courthouse and what is the location of that courthouse?

Mr. Weitzman. Sitting on Main, Houston, Record and so forth. We were at the back side and we turned around and were going into the Main Street entrance. We made maybe three or four steps when we heard what we thought at that time was either a rifle shot or a firecracker, I mean at that second.

Mr. Ball. How many shots did you hear?

Mr. Weitzman. Three distinct shots.

Mr. Ball. How were they spaced?

Mr. Weitzman. First one, then the second two seemed to be simultaneously.

Mr. Ball. You mean the first and then there was a pause?

Mr. Weitzman. There was a little period in between the second and third shot.

Mr. Ball. What was the longest, between the first and second or the second and third shot; which had the longest time lapse in there?

Mr. Weitzman. Between the first and second shot.
