Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. BELIN. You saw them together come out of the building?
Mr. BRENNAN. I don't believe they were. I don't recall seeing any
officer bring them out or with them.
Mr. BELIN. Now you do not believe then that it was Mr. Williams?
Mr. BRENNAN. No; I won't say for sure. I can't tell which of those two
it was.
Mr. BELIN. In other words, you say that you can't, when you say you
can't tell whether it was Mr. Williams or Mr. Norman, did you just see
one person or two?
Mr. BRENNAN. I saw two but I can't identify which one it was.
Mr. BELIN. Could it have been neither one of these persons that you saw?
Mr. BRENNAN. I think it was one of them. I think it was this boy on the
end.
Mr. BELIN. You thought it was Mr. Norman. And what about Mr. Jarman?
Mr. BRENNAN. I believe it was him, too. Am I right or wrong?
Mr. BALL. I don't know.
Mr. BRENNAN. I explained that to you this morning.
Mr. BALL. I understand.
Any questions?
Mr. McCLOY. Did you recognize anyone in this room that you saw in the
fifth floor window while you were sitting on the masonry opposite the
school book depository?
Mr. BRENNAN. That is the two boys that I am speaking of now.
Mr. McCLOY. That you are speaking of now?
Mr. BRENNAN. Yes.
Mr. McCLOY. You saw these two men in the fifth floor window and you saw
them again on the first floor?
Mr. BRENNAN. Coming out of the building down the stairway, coming out
on the street, those were the only two people I could identify.
Mr. BELIN. I hand you----
Mr. BRENNAN. I recall seeing three people with you I----
Mr. BELIN. I hand you Exhibit 477 which you testified to this morning
was a recent picture taken of the Texas School Book Depository Building
on March 20. This is you sitting on that concrete wall?
Mr. BRENNAN. Right.
Mr. BELIN. At first I believe this morning you thought that you saw one
person or two people at the point marked B, and then you later said it
was to the window which would be to the----
Mr. BRENNAN. Left.
Mr. BELIN. Well, let's talk about directions. This direction here would
be to the east and this direction here would be to the west?
Mr. BRENNAN. Right.
Mr. BELIN. Would it be a window to the east or west?
Mr. BRENNAN. I believe it was a window to the east.
Mr. BELIN. So you saw, you believe you saw two people in this window
here to the east of the window that you first marked B?
Mr. BRENNAN. Yes. I am not positive.
Mr. BELIN. You are not positive?
Mr. BRENNAN. No.
Mr. REDLICH. Mr. McCloy, may I have permission to ask this question of
this witness?
Mr. McCLOY. Very well.
Mr. REDLICH. You stated that you saw two employees walking down the
steps of the building?
Mr. BRENNAN. Yes.
Mr. REDLICH. Do you recall whether the two employees that you saw
walking down the steps of the building were the same two employees
that you saw on the window, in the window on the fifth floor at the
easterly most end of the building?
