Mr. Hubert. Now I notice in that same paragraph, which is the third or middle paragraph, you have made a little mark next to a sentence reading as follows: “He was not part of the Oswald guard force, but was merely on duty to prevent unauthorized persons from entering and leaving the garage.” Do you have a comment to make with reference to that?
Mr. Fleming. My comment is that I was not aware of what force this officer belonged, and I am not in position to state whether he was part of the Oswald guard force. I do know that he was on the outside of the building at the entrance of the drive. This inferred that I assumed he was not part of the guard force.
Mr. Hubert. He was in uniform?
Mr. Fleming. He was in uniform.
Mr. Hubert. What was his position relative to the truck?
Mr. Fleming. He was on the passenger’s side of the truck facing, with the truck facing Commerce Street, that was parked in the driveway.
Mr. Hubert. Was he in front of the truck, or by the side of the cab, or where was he with reference to the truck?
Mr. Fleming. He was at the side of the truck, opposite or near the cab door. But he was stationed there at the time we drove the truck in.
Mr. Hubert. So that when you backed the truck in, that policeman was there, but you did not see him there thereafter?
Mr. Fleming. Oh yes; he was there the whole time.
