Mr. Hubert. Will you state what you consider to be the error and give us what you consider to be the truth?
Lieutenant Wiggins. It starts on the eighth line, on the top of the third page where it starts—the sentence starts, "They had proceeded some 6 or 7 feet—" Excuse me. It is the one in front of that. The latter part of the last sentence of the eighth line. Sentence reads, "In their midst, were out past him. Wiggins," and it should read, "In their midst, went out past him. Wiggins." And the next sentence——
Mr. Hubert. I'm not sure I got that distinction.
Lieutenant Wiggins. All right. See this? See this then should be, "Went out past him." Not, "were out past him."
Mr. Hubert. In other words, in the eighth line, the fourth word from the end of the eighth line should be the word "went" instead of the word "were," is that correct?
Lieutenant Wiggins. That's true. Also, the next sentence, as it is written here, "They proceeded some 6 or 7 feet from the jail office door when he, Wiggins, saw a man lunge towards Oswald and he heard the report of the gun." That sentence should read, "They had proceeded some 6 or 7 feet past Wiggins when Wiggins saw a man lunge towards Oswald and he heard the report of a gun."
Mr. Hubert. In other words, as the exhibit itself now reads, or as the sentence now reads it gives the impression that they had proceeded 6 or 7 feet from the jail door.
Lieutenant Wiggins. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert. Whereas, your recollection is that it was 6 or 7 feet from where you were standing, and were you—you were standing about 3 or 4 feet from the jail door, so that to catch the sense properly it would be that they had proceeded about 10 to 11 feet past the jail door.
Lieutenant Wiggins. True.
