United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. SPECTER. Are you sure you were at Love Field when the President
arrived there?
Mr. WORRELL. Oh, yes.
Mr. SPECTER. All right. Now I am going to show you a photograph which I
have marked as Commission Exhibit No. 359. Take a look at that, if you
would, please, and tell us whether or not you can identify what scene
that is?
Mr. WORRELL. Yes, this is Elm, Pacific, and Commerce. This is the
Depository right here, and this is Stemmons, and this is the way the
President come down.
Mr. SPECTER. So is that the assassination scene itself?
Mr. WORRELL. Yes, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. Now take a look at that picture and tell us where you
were standing--and I will give you a pencil so you can mark it on that
picture itself--at the time the Presidential motorcade came by. Mark
it with an "X," if you would, just exactly where you were standing, as
best as you can recollect it, at this moment, at the time the President
went by.
Mr. WORRELL. Right underneath that window right there.
Mr. SPECTER. Now, how close were you standing to this building which I
will ask you to identify; first of all, what building is that?
Mr. WORRELL. That is the Texas Depository.
Mr. SPECTER. All right.
Now how close to that building were you standing?
Mr. WORRELL. I was, I don't know, 4 or 5 feet out from it.
Mr. SPECTER. Were you standing with your face to the building, with
your back to the building, or how?
Mr. WORRELL. My back was to the building.
Mr. SPECTER. I show you a photograph which has been identified as
Commission Exhibit 360 and I will ask you if you can identify what that
building is?
Mr. WORRELL. That is the Depository.
Mr. SPECTER. All right.
Now on this picture will you again, with an "X," mark where you were
standing as closely as you can recollect it.
Mr. WORRELL. That car is in the way.
Mr. SPECTER. All right. Put the mark then right above where the car is,
indicating where you were standing on the sidewalk near that building.
(Witness marking.)
Mr. SPECTER. Now, did you observe the President's motorcade come by?
Mr. WORRELL. Oh, yes.
Mr. SPECTER. Describe to us what you saw, heard, and observed at that
time, as the motorcade came by.
Mr. WORRELL. Well, I saw him--I was standing looking--I don't know my
directions very well; anyway, I was looking down towards Elm Street
watching him come, and they filed by me----
Mr. SPECTER. On which street were you watching them come?
Mr. WORRELL. This way.
Mr. SPECTER. Look at Exhibit 359 and pick out which street they were on?
Mr. WORRELL. They were coming down this way, so on and so forth.
Mr. SPECTER. Well, now, were they coming down Elm Street or were they
coming down Main Street with a right-hand turn on to Houston Street
with a curve on Houston down Elm, recollect it if you can?
Mr. WORRELL. That is right. They did turn around.
Mr. SPECTER. Did they come down----
Mr. WORRELL. I didn't see him up there.
Mr. SPECTER. Where was the President's motorcade at the time you first
saw it?
