Yes.

And the tower was arranged so that you could see out?

Yes; it is windows except for posts that--posts on each comer. It is windows on all four sides.

Where is that located with reference to the corner of Elm and Houston?

It is west and north of this corner, and as to distances, I really don't know. It is within 50 yards of the back of the School Depository Building, or less.

Did you say that it is built on higher ground, the base of the tower on higher ground than around Houston and Elm?

Approximately the same.

Same? It is higher ground than Elm as it recedes down under the triple underpass?

Yes, sir; considerably.

And the base of your tower is about the same height as the triple underpass, isn't it?

Approximately.

Now, can you tell me why you refer to that as a triple underpass? In our conversation here before you were sworn your description--you described it as a triple underpass.

It is just a local connotation for it since there are three streets that run under it.

I see. And how many sets of tracks do you control from your tower?

There are about 11 tracks in the station and 2 freight tracks.

That would be 13 tracks that is, the tracks altogether, that pass in front of your tower?

Yes; of course where the tracks converge and cross and split off to various railroad yards---

And the tracks are to the north and west of your tower, aren't they?

Well, the tracks are west, but they proceed in all directions, I they are both north and south.

Now, you were on duty on November 22, 1963, weren't you?

That's correct.

Close to noon, did you make any observation of the area around between your tower and Elm Street?
