United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JARMAN. After we had ran down to this last window on the west side
of the building, and we was discussing it. And then after I got to
thinking about all the debris on Bonnie Ray's head, and I thought about
that, also. And so I told Hank, I say, "That shot probably did come
from upstairs, up over us," and Hank said, "I know it did, because I
could hear the action of the bolt, and I could hear the cartridges drop
on the floor."
And I told him there we better get the hell from up here.
The CHAIRMAN. Now, tell me, when you went downstairs--when you were
downstairs and went out the first time, that is, just before you met
Brennan, did anyone stop you as you went out the building?
Mr. JARMAN. No, sir.
The CHAIRMAN. You could have gone right away if you wanted to, could
you?
Mr. JARMAN. Yes, sir.
The CHAIRMAN. And then you happened to run across Brennan, and had this
conversation with him?
Mr. JARMAN. No. He ran up to the police officer and was telling him
about the man sticking a gun out the window. And I heard him telling
the officer that.
And I told him that I thought the shots came from inside, too.
The CHAIRMAN. I see.
Are you a married man?
Mr. JARMAN. Yes, sir.
The CHAIRMAN. Do you have a family?
Mr. JARMAN. Yes, sir; three children.
The CHAIRMAN. I think that is all.
Thank you very much for coming and helping us out. We appreciate it
very much.
Mr. JARMAN. We are glad to do it.
Mr. BALL. Mr. Chairman, we would like to recall Mr. Brennan.
