Mr. Hubert. Go ahead then about your fixing of the time at which you got back to the second floor of the building.
Mr. Newnam. I knew the motorcade was coming to Dallas and through downtown, and since my area covers downtown, I was rather anxious to get as much done as quickly as possible to get back to the office, and after taking care of the business which was normal to take care of, I walked back to the—I was walking back to the office because it was just about as quick to walk as to try to wait for a shopper’s bus, because the crowd was gathering.
Mr. Hubert. At the time you saw the parade, how far were you from the Dallas Morning News office?
Mr. Newnam. I was about—well, walking distance, I would say about 7 or 8 blocks.
Mr. Hubert. Did you walk back?
Mr. Newnam. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Approximately what time do you think you saw the President pass?
Mr. Newnam. I would say approximately 12—it must have been about 12:25 or possibly 12:26.
Mr. Hubert. Did you leave your position on Austin and Main and proceed to walk back to the Dallas Morning News Building, immediately after the President himself had passed in the motorcade?
Mr. Newnam. Yes, sir.
