DAVIDSON: Ok. Now, you were by yourself when you walked by?

MEDFORD: Yes sir.

DAVIDSON: You say you saw Damien Echols, who was with him?

DAVIDSON: So, he was facing you and everybody else was facing the other way?

MEDFORD: Facing him.

DAVIDSON: How many people were there with him?

MEDFORD: I'd say about 6 or 7.

DAVIDSON: 6 or 7. And who were these 6 or 7 people?

MEDFORD: I don't know.

DAVIDSON: Don't know 'em at all?

MEDFORD: No sir.

DAVIDSON: Could you pick them out today, if they were in the courtroom?

MEDFORD: No sir...

DAVIDSON: Had you heard people talking about Damien before this?

MEDFORD: Yes sir.

DAVIDSON: Did you think - did you think he was kind of weird or something?

MEDFORD: Yes sir, 'cause he was dressed all in black and his hair was jet black and long and shaved on the side.

DAVIDSON: Ya'll always thought he was kinda weird looking, didn't ya?

MEDFORD: I had never seen him before that night.

DAVIDSON: You had never seen him before. You hear people calling him Edward Scissorhands?

MEDFORD: No sir.

DAVIDSON: You didn't hear that. Ok, how far were you away from him when you heard this conversation? About - did you earlier say about from this distance?

MEDFORD: I guess.

DAVIDSON: And what did he say before he said this?

MEDFORD: Before he said that he killed 'em?

DAVIDSON: Yes.

MEDFORD: I don't know, I was walking around and I just heard him - he said that "I killed the three little boys" and I turned around 'cause that didn't sound right and then he finished what he was saying.

DAVIDSON: And tell - tell me what else he said.

MEDFORD: He said, "I killed the three little boys and before I turn myself in, I'm gonna kill two more and I already have one of 'em picked out."

DAVIDSON: Ok. And then what did he say?

MEDFORD: And I - I went off and told my mom.
