Warren Commission (02 of 26): Hearings Vol. II (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. SPECTER. Did you sign a statement for them?
Mr. WORRELL. I just signed it for the Dallas police. They didn't have
me sign anything.
Mr. SPECTER. Have you been interviewed by any other Federal agent or
representative?
Mr. WORRELL. Well, Mr. Sorrels interviewed me when he called me and
asked me some questions when he called me up Wednesday night, I guess
it was.
Mr. SPECTER. Was that in relationship to your coming here to this
Commission hearing?
Mr. WORRELL. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. What sort of questions did Mr. Sorrels ask you?
Mr. WORRELL. What I saw. And I told him.
Mr. SPECTER. Was that just on the telephone?
Mr. WORRELL. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. How long did that conversation last?
Mr. WORRELL. Not very long. He talked to my mother first. He talked to
her for 15 minutes, something like this.
Mr. SPECTER. Was he talking to her about what you saw or about travel
arrangements to get you here?
Mr. WORRELL. I don't know. I was watching television, I didn't know
even who she was talking to.
Mr. SPECTER. All right. Aside from that conversation with Mr. Sorrels
and the interview you have had with the FBI, have you ever talked with
any agent or representative of the Federal Government.
Mr. WORRELL. No, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. Have you talked to any police official of Dallas or the
State of Texas after you gave this affidavit?
Mr. WORRELL. No, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. Based on seeing only the back of this man, were you ever
able to make any identification of him?
Mr. WORRELL. No, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. Mr. Chairman, I move for the admission into evidence of
the other exhibit which we have used with Mr. Worrell being Commission
Exhibit No. 362.
Senator COOPER. The exhibit will be admitted to evidence.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 362 for
identification and received in evidence.)
Mr. SPECTER. That concludes our questions.
Senator COOPER. You stated that, I believe, you looked up after you had
heard the first report?
Mr. WORRELL. Yes, sir.
Senator COOPER. You looked up and saw the barrel of a rifle, and then
the rifle fired. What made you know that it fired?
Mr. WORRELL. Pardon?
Senator COOPER. How did you know it was fired when you were looking at
it?
Mr. WORRELL. Well, I saw what you might call a little flame and smoke.
Senator COOPER. You saw something that came out of the barrel?
Mr. WORRELL. Yes, sir.
Senator COOPER. Were you looking at it when you heard the third report?
Mr. WORRELL. Yes, sir, looking at it, turning around and started to run.
Senator COOPER. Did you see anything then?
Mr. WORRELL. Same thing, a little flash of fire and then smoke. I
didn't see it on the fourth one.
Senator COOPER. Did you only look at the car in which the President was
riding one time when you said you saw him slump?
Mr. WORRELL. Yes, sir.
Senator COOPER. Did you look back at the President's car then?
