United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. KELLERMAN. There is one other splint, which is from the
southeasterly leg----
Mr. SPECTER. That would be southwesterly leg.
Mr. KELLERMAN. Southwesterly leg--I am sorry--that drops to within an
inch of the bottom of the windshield, whereby another splint travels in
a northwesterly direction to about halfway of the windshield.
Mr. SPECTER. Now, have you described all of the visible cracks in the
windshield?
Mr. KELLERMAN. That has completed it, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. As you have viewed this windshield, have you looked at it
from the outside looking in or the inside looking out?
Mr. KELLERMAN. I have been looking from the outside looking in.
Mr. SPECTER. Where you would have been if you had been, say, on
the front hood of the car when the windshield was in place on the
automobile?
Mr. KELLERMAN. I would have been--pardon?
Mr. SPECTER. On the hood of the car?
Mr. KELLERMAN. On the hood of the car this would have been facing me as
it is sitting here today.
Mr. SPECTER. Have there been any measures taken to protect the outer
edges of this windshield in its position here in the hearing room?
Mr. KELLERMAN. Yes. A form of protective tape has been placed around
the entire windshield to protect it, to keep it intact.
Mr. SPECTER. Are there any differences in the cracks on the windshield
today as it sits in our hearing room from its condition when you
observed it on or about November 27, 1963?
Mr. KELLERMAN. Yes, sir. From the point of impact the four cracks that
looked in the four directions were the only ones on this windshield.
Mr. SPECTER. Is there any marking in color or otherwise on that piece
of the windshield?
Mr. KELLERMAN. There has been a yellow crayon marking the circumference
of these four cracks, apparently before the windshield was removed from
the automobile.
Mr. SPECTER. Is that yellow or red?
Mr. KELLERMAN. It is red.
Mr. SPECTER. Were the cracks present within the circumference of that
marking present at the time you observed the windshield on or about
November 27?
Mr. KELLERMAN. Yes, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. Were any of the other marks present when you observed the
windshield on or about November 27?
Mr. KELLERMAN. No, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. Would you at this time feel the outside of the windshield
and describe what, if anything, you feel at the point of impact?
Mr. KELLERMAN. The outside markings from the point of impact, the
extended lines----
Mr. SPECTER. Mr. Kellerman. I would like for you at this time to
actually touch the outside and tell me, first of all, if it is the same
or if it differs in any way from the sense of feel which you noted when
you touched it on or about November 27?
Mr. KELLERMAN. As I touch the outside on the impact, it would be the
same as I noticed on the 27th of November.
Mr. SPECTER. What do you notice, if anything?
Mr. KELLERMAN. It is a smooth surface without any----
Mr. SPECTER. Without any--finish your answer.
Mr. KELLERMAN. On the inside.
