United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. EUINS. They must have made a mistake, because I told them I could
see a white spot on his head.
Mr. SPECTER. Now, is there anything else in this statement, Amos, which
is different from the way you remember this event, as you are sitting
here right now?
Amos, did you understand the last question?
Mr. EUINS. Yes, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you answer it for us?
Mr. EUINS. No, sir; I don't think there is.
Mr. SPECTER. I don't understand you, Amos. The question I am trying to
get at it, as you read that statement over now, you have testified or
told us here today what you remember about this assassination?
Mr. EUINS. Yes, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. And I am asking you, when you read that statement over,
is there anything on that statement which you think is wrong, based on
what you remember right now?
For example, you told us that they were wrong when they wrote down that
you identified him as a white man. Were they wrong about anything else
that they wrote down?
Mr. EUINS. Not that I can see.
Mr. SPECTER. All right.
When you looked up and saw this man, Amos, did he have on a hat?
Mr. EUINS. No, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you notice any boxes behind him at that time, Amos?
Mr. EUINS. Yes, sir; there were some boxes, you know, all the side of
the window. Like this window--there were some boxes in these windows up
here.
Mr. SPECTER. You saw some boxes in these windows?
Mr. EUINS. In these windows, and these windows, and there was boxes in
half of this one.
Mr. SPECTER. All right.
Now, mark the windows where you saw those boxes, Amos. Start off
with--mark the window "Y" where you saw boxes.
(Witness marking.)
Mr. SPECTER. You made a figure 9, as I read it, on the two places you
saw boxes in the windows.
Mr. EUINS. Yes, sir; in this half.
Mr. SPECTER. Now, were there boxes in the window marked "X"?
Mr. EUINS. Yes, sir. There were about two or three of them right along
here.
Mr. SPECTER. Indicating the middle dividing line there?
Mr. EUINS. Yes, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. Was that window marked "X" opened, Amos, or closed?
Mr. EUINS. It was open.
Mr. SPECTER. How far open was it?
Mr. EUINS. About that high.
Mr. SPECTER. Indicating about 19 inches?
Mr. EUINS. Yes, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. And was the window in the other double window immediately
next to the window marked "X" open or closed?
Mr. EUINS. The top window, on the sixth floor?
Mr. SPECTER. I am referring to the window right next to it.
Mr. EUINS. No, sir; it was not open.
Mr. SPECTER. Amos, when you heard the first shot, did you have any
reaction or impression as to where the noise was coming from at that
exact time?
Mr. EUINS. No, sir; not at the exact time. You know, because everybody
else started looking around. So I just started looking around, thinking
it was a backfire, just like everyone else.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you look up towards that window before the second
shot, or just when the second shot occurred?
