United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. SPECTER. Did you observe any people in those windows marked "E,"
"F," and "G"?
Mr. ROWLAND. Yes, and this pair, "E," both windows were open, and there
appeared to be one man in the eastern window.
Mr. SPECTER. Which you have now marked with an arrow.
Mr. ROWLAND. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. How about as to window marked "F"?
Mr. ROWLAND. Both windows were completely up, and there appeared to
be several people in that window, four or five, a number that I don't
remember, you know I couldn't see all of them.
Mr. SPECTER. How about window "G"?
Mr. ROWLAND. This again, both windows were open all of the way and I
think there was one person in each window.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you observe any other people either through any other
window or hanging out of any other window in the building?
Mr. ROWLAND. There was no one in the fourth floor to my knowledge, to
my recollection.
There were what appeared to be secretaries, several young white girls
or ladies, standing on the steps of the building in this general area.
Mr. SPECTER. Indicating the door of the building.
Mr. ROWLAND. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. Yes.
Mr. ROWLAND. And there was no one else in there, except I think there
was a policeman in front of the door on the sidewalk.
Mr. SPECTER. Have you described everybody you have observed, with
respect to everybody hanging out the windows?
Mr. ROWLAND. To the best of my recollection.
Mr. SPECTER. Or anybody you could see through the windows?
Mr. ROWLAND. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. As to the window which you have marked "A", that double
pair of windows, which, if either or both, was open?
Mr. ROWLAND. The one on the eastern side was open and not all of the
way it would open.
Mr. SPECTER. Is that the one you have marked with an arrow?
Mr. ROWLAND. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. How much of that window was open?
Mr. ROWLAND. It was open about that far.
Mr. SPECTER. Indicating 2-1/2 feet?
Mr. ROWLAND. Two feet.
Mr. SPECTER. Two feet.
Mr. ROWLAND. Indicating 2 feet. It looked like the windows might open
3--two-thirds or three-fourths of the distance.
Mr. SPECTER. How about the other of the windows in the double-set
marked "A," was that completely closed?
Mr. ROWLAND. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. How about the windows in the group marked "B," was either
of those windows open?
Mr. ROWLAND. They were both completely open.
Mr. SPECTER. Can you describe with any more particularity the people
you saw in the window which you have marked "B"?
Mr. ROWLAND. There was a white man hanging out either "G" or "B," I do
not remember which. He was the only white man, besides the man in these
windows that I saw----
Mr. SPECTER. When you said "these windows" you mean the first window
you marked with a black circle and a black arrow?
Mr. ROWLAND. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. Is there anything else you can tell us about the people
you saw in window "B"?
