United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
As positive identification I cannot recognize them.
Now, I see where there is a possibility I did make a mistake. I believe
these two colored boys was in this window, and I believe I showed on
that other exhibit that they were in this window.
Mr. BELIN. All right.
I am going to hand you now----
Mr. BRENNAN. The only thing I said is that they were one window over
below the man that fired the gun.
Mr. BELIN. Well, I hand you Commission Exhibit 477, where you marked a
"B" at the point there you first said you saw the Negro men. Is this
the one you say now you might have been mistaken?
Mr. BRENNAN. Yes; I believe I was mistaken. I believe the two men that
I identified was in this window.
Mr. BELIN. You are pointing to the window to the east of where you have
now marked "B"?
Mr. BRENNAN. That I am not positive of. I just remember that they were
over one window from below him, which at that time I might have thought
this was one window over.
Mr. BELIN. All right. Let me ask you this. On Exhibit 481, does the
condition of the opening of the windows in the fifth floor appear to be
that which you saw on the afternoon of November 22?
Mr. BRENNAN. Yes. These do.
Mr. BELIN. You are pointing to the fifth-floor windows now?
Mr. BRENNAN. But I don't recall this window at the time of the shooting
being that low.
Mr. BELIN. Now, by this window you are pointing to the window on the
sixth floor?
Mr. BRENNAN. Right.
Mr. BELIN. On Exhibit 481. I wonder if you would mark that with the
letter "A"--if you would circle that window. And could you put an "A"
on that, if you would.
Now, window A, on Exhibit 481, when you saw it, how high do you believe
it was open?
Mr. BRENNAN. I believe that at the time he was firing, it was open just
like this.
Mr. BELIN. Just like the windows on the fifth floor immediately below?
Mr. BRENNAN. That is right.
Mr. BELIN. I note in window "A" there appear to be some boxes in
the window. To the best of your recollection, what is the fact as
to whether or not those boxes as shown in this exhibit appear to be
similar to the ones you saw on November 22?
Mr. BRENNAN. No; I could see more boxes.
Mr. BELIN. In the window or behind the window?
Mr. BRENNAN. Behind the window.
Mr. BELIN. I am talking in the window itself.
Mr. BRENNAN. No, no. That is--I don't remember a box in the window,
these boxes I remember are stacked up behind the window, and they were
zigzagged, kind of step down, and there was a space it looked like back
of here.
Mr. BELIN. Now, you are pointing to a space which would be on the east
side, is that right?
Mr. BRENNAN. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. When you say you don't remember----
Mr. BRENNAN. Well, I can see those boxes there now. I don't know
whether you can see them or not. It seems like I can see the boxes in
that picture. Am I right?
Mr. BELIN. I don't know, sir. I can't see them on Exhibit 471. That
could be the dirty window here.
Mr. BRENNAN. Here they are here. Those boxes there.
