doubt as to his identity. This was between 6 and 6 .15
The closest ae was to me that morning was about
a Yard..
freeman was running out of the recess and
stopped. near the telephone box when he stopped and shot
me. I saw his face. The Post Office was broken into that
morning.

Freelaan at his trial in connection with this affair.

in connection with my identifying Freeman. I did not
