United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. SPECTER. And where did you go from your school?
Mr. EUINS. Downtown.
Mr. SPECTER. What part of downtown?
Mr. EUINS. Right over by the county jail.
Mr. SPECTER. Do you know the names of those streets, Amos?
Mr. EUINS. No, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. If I told you they were Elm and Houston, would that help
your memory as to what the names of those streets were?
Mr. EUINS. It was right by the freeway.
Mr. SPECTER. All right. Let me show you a photograph, Amos, which is on
a document I have marked as Commission Exhibit No. 365.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 365 for
identification.)
Mr. SPECTER. Take just a minute and look at that, and see if you can
recognize where that is.
Mr. EUINS. This is going across the railroad tracks, back up to
here--right here at the corner is the Book Depository Building.
Mr. SPECTER. That is the Book Depository Building, you say?
Mr. EUINS. Yes, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. All right.
Why don't you just put an "X" with this pencil on the Book Depository
Building, as you identify it there, Amos--on the building itself.
(Witness marking.)
Mr. SPECTER. Now, were you somewhere in that area when the President's
motorcade went by?
Mr. EUINS. I was right here.
Mr. SPECTER. Why don't you take this black pencil and put an "A" right
where you were, Amos.
(Witness marking.)
Mr. SPECTER. Now, what time did you get to the place where you have
marked with an "A"?
Mr. EUINS. Oh, I would say around about 15 minutes or something like
that to 12, because my mother brought me down there.
Mr. SPECTER. She drove you down, did she?
Mr. EUINS. Yes, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. Now, were you with anybody when you came to that spot, or
did your mother leave you off there by yourself?
Mr. EUINS. She left me. She had to go on to work.
Mr. SPECTER. Now, about how long was it after you got there that the
motorcade came by?
Mr. EUINS. Oh, I would say about--I had been there about 15, maybe 20
minutes. It come around the corner, come on around.
Mr. SPECTER. All right.
Amos, I want to show you another picture here that I have marked as
Commission Exhibit No. 366.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 366 for
identification.)
Mr. SPECTER. I ask you if you can recognize what that building is.
Mr. EUINS. This here is the Book Depository Building.
Mr. SPECTER. All right.
Now, look back over here at 365. Can you tell us which direction the
President's motorcade came from on this picture?
Mr. EUINS. It come from right in here.
Mr. SPECTER. First of all, do you know what the name of this street is?
Would that be Main Street, in Dallas?
Mr. EUINS. Yes, sir; I think so.
Mr. SPECTER. Coming down Main Street, indicating in a general westerly
direction. Turning which way?
Mr. EUINS. This way.
Mr. SPECTER. Turned right.
Do you know if that is Houston Street?
Mr. EUINS. No, sir; I don't.
Mr. SPECTER. Let the record show the witness is identifying a street
heretofore identified as Houston.
