Sergeant Putnam. No, sir.

Mr. Hubert. How far down Main Street to Pearl do you think you can see?

Sergeant Putnam. Well, it is a clear view to Pearl Street, but my attention would not have been directed by someone half a block away. It would have made no impression.

Mr. Hubert. But, your thought is that there was nobody at least as far as a half a block away?

Sergeant Putnam. That's my belief.

Mr. Hubert. And Vaughn turned immediately back and went back to his position?

Sergeant Putnam. Was walking back in that direction. In other words, we could have been close enough to touch him.

Mr. Hubert. As you passed, he was walking back.

Sergeant Putnam. That's correct.

Mr. Hubert. And therefore, he was facing towards the entrance?
