Mr. Griffin. Now, during the period you were standing there in the garage, were you able to look over in the direction of the Main Street ramp?
Mr. Newman. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. Now, did you see, during the period that you were in the garage, any automobiles moved out of the garage?
Mr. Newman. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. Now, do you remember when the armored car came down—was brought down the ramp?
Mr. Newman. No; I didn't even know it was there. I couldn't see it from my location. Well, the armored car wasn't brought down the ramp. It was just backed to the door.
Mr. Griffin. Was there ever a time that you were aware there was an armored car up there?
Mr. Newman. Not until after the shooting.
Mr. Griffin. Standing where you were standing was there anything that happened, what you would estimate, a half hour before Oswald was shot, that would be significant to fix the time?
Mr. Newman. No; the only thing I can recall at all, there was a pop-type noise in that area there. I found out later, when they opened the door to the armored car a soft drink bottle had rolled out and broken. That caused quite a commotion among the reporters and some of them went up the ramp to see what happened.
