BY MR. TYSON:

Q I’m going to get off of this Benetta Slaughter
thing. But just to wrap this up, it’s fair to say that
you were there in hopes of having some type of
altercation or contact with somebody at that residence,
weren’t you?

A Altercation, no. Contact, yes. Contact with
the people that we expected to be there, which would have
been several hundred Scientologists.

Q Uninvited contact at their personal residence,
right? It was uninvited, you didn’t have an invitation?

A We weren’t on her property, or in her house, or
inside the gate. We were on the public street, you know,
in the bypass that goes along the side of her house.

Q So that’s fine then? At least Mr. Minton
didn’t get onto the property of the Belleview Biltmore,
did he, he stayed outside the property?

A You’ve got the name wrong, you mean Mr. Howd.

Q Mr. Howd, I’m sorry. You are up at the fence,
you are opening her gate?

A I am not opening her gate, I made that real
clear that I didn’t open her gate, it was chained.

Q Have you ever notified the Clearwater police
when you are going to picket at The Fort Harrison or any
other properties of Scientology?
