Multiple lines in a row of a pageblocktable

I have a user requirement that our current Salesforce object, developed in Visualforce be cleaned up. The 
user requirement is that evidentuary information be captured for a case. Currently, through visualforce, we 
have developed a screen that looks like the followig: (except when it is running, the files address is on the same line as the rest of the information.)

Witness name    Witness phone     Witness address        Witness city    Witness e-mail        Deposed    Deposition file 
Jane Doe    916-555-1212    123 Main Street        Sacramento    janedoe@anymail.com    Yes     C:/My Documents/Cases/JanedoeDeposition05042017.WMV
John Doe    916-555-1212    123 Main Street        Sacramento    johndoe@anymail.com    Yes     C:/My Documents/Cases/JohndoeDeposition05042017.WMV
Sue Smith    916-555-1111    133 Main Street        Sacramento    suesmith@anymail.com    Yes     C:/My Documents/Cases/SuesmithDeposition05042017.WMV
Tom Thumb    916-555-2222    113 Main Street        Sacramento    tomthumb@anymail.com    Yes     C:/My Documents/Cases/tomthumbDeposition05042017.WMV


The section of the code that I am currently using to accomplish the above is similar to this: 
 
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!WitnessEntries}" var="entry" id="Entry_Table_List">
                <apex:column width="70" headerValue="Witness name">
                    <apex:inputField value="{!entry.Witness_name__c}"/>
                </apex:column>    
                <apex:column width="60" headerValue="Witness phone">
                    <apex:inputField value="{!entry.Witness_phone__c}"/>
                </apex:column>    
                <apex:column width="20" headerValue="Witness address">
                    <apex:inputField value="{!entry.Witness_address__c}"/>
                </apex:column>    
                <apex:column width="20" headerValue="Witness city">
                    <apex:inputField value="{!entry.Witness_city__c}"/>
                </apex:column>  
                <apex:column width="80" headerValue="Witness e-mail">
                    <apex:inputField value="{!entry.Witness_e-mail__c}"/><br/>
                </apex:column>  
                <apex:column width="80" headerValue="Deposed">
                    <apex:inputField value="{!entry.Deposed__c}"/><br/>
                </apex:column>  
                <apex:column width="80" headerValue="Deposition file">
                    <apex:inputField value="{!entry.Deposition_file__c}"/><br/>
                </apex:column>  
            </apex:pageBlockTable>

However, what the user wants to see is a form that looks like the following so that it is easier for them to 
digest the information at a glance. 

Witness Name:    Jane Doe       Witness Phone: 916-555-1212    Witness e-mail:  janedoe@anymail.com
Witness address: 123 Main Street   Witness City:  Sacramento     Witness deposed: Yes 
Witness Deposition File: C:/My Documents/Cases/JanedoeDeposition05042017.WMV

Witness Name:    John Doe       Witness Phone: 916-555-1212    Witness e-mail:  johndoe@anymail.com    
Witness address: 123 Main Street   Witness City:  Sacramento     Witness deposed: Yes 
Witness Deposition File: C:/My Documents/Cases/JohndoeDeposition05042017.WMV

Witness Name:    Sue Smith       Witness Phone: 916-555-1111    Witness e-mail:  suesmith@anymail.com    
Witness address: 133 Main Street   Witness City:  Sacramento     Witness deposed: Yes 
Witness Deposition File: C:/My Documents/Cases/SuesmithDeposition05042017.WMV

Witness Name:    Tom Thumb       Witness Phone: 916-555-2222    Witness e-mail:  tomthumb@anymail.com    
Witness address: 113 Main Street   Witness City:  Sacramento     Witness deposed: Yes 
Witness Deposition File: C:/My Documents/Cases/tomthumbDeposition05042017.WMV

Thank you in advance for how I might accomplish this.

Several ways to do it.  You could just to an HTML table and the apex repeat tag.

Something like this...
<table>
    <apex:repeat value="{!WitnessEntries}" var="entry}"
        <tr>
            <td>Witness Name: {!entry.Witness_Name__c}</td>
            <td>Witness Phone: {!entry.Witness_PHone__c}</td>
            <td>Witness e-mail: {!entry.Witness_e-mail__c}</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Witness address: {!entry.Witness_address__c}</td>
            <td>Witness City: {!entry.Witness_City__c}</td>
            <td>Witness deposed: {!entry.Deposed__c}</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
             <td colspan="3">Witness Deposition File: {!entry.Depositio_file__c}</td>
        </tr>
    </apex:repeat>
</table>

Hi there Jeffrey,

For the purpose of my question, your answer was pretty much 'Right on'! The only exception was that line '2' of your solution should have been:
 
<apex:repeat value="{!WitnessEntries}" var="entry"/>

Your solution does present a problem in that the fields are for 'Input' on those elements displayed, but I will dig into that issue and see if I can find the answer to that quandry. (HTML is not my strong suit. :-( )

Thank you very much for your insight!

Eric Anderson
