Mr. GAUTHIER. We also locate the position of Mr. Nix, who also made
movies of the motorcade at certain points on the roadway.
Mr. SPECTER. On what street was Mr. Nix standing?
Mr. GAUTHIER. I am pointing now to the south side of Main Street,
approximately in front of the concrete pylon of the south pericycle
structure. That is a short distance from the intersection of Main and
Houston.
Mr. SPECTER. A short distance west of the intersection?
Mr. GAUTHIER. West.
Mr. SPECTER. And what other position is shown of the situs of a movie
photographer?
Mr. GAUTHIER. We have another position here by Mrs. Mary Muchmore, who
made movies of the motorcade movement along the Elm Street roadway on
November 22, 1963.
Mr. SPECTER. I now hand you a schedule which I have marked as
Commission Exhibit No. 884 and ask you what figures are contained
thereon.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 884 for
identification.)
Mr. GAUTHIER. This is a copy of a tabulation which appears on the
plat map. It contains certain positions marked as frame numbers. It
indicates elevations and a column dealing with angle of sight from the
frame positions to the window and to a horizontal line.
It also contains angels of sight the degree of sight and distances from
these positions to a point on the top of the bridge, handrail height.
Mr. SPECTER. May it please the Commission, that concludes the
description of the general setting.
I would like to move now at this time for the admission into evidence
of Exhibit No. 884, which completes all of the exhibits used heretofore.
Mr. McCLOY. It may be admitted.
(The document heretofore marked for identification as Commission
Exhibit No. 884, was received in evidence.)
Mr. SPECTER. May it please the Commission, that completes the testimony
of Inspector Gauthier.
I would like to call Mr. Shaneyfelt.
Mr. McCLOY. Mr Shaneyfelt?

Mr. SHANEYFELT. I am employed as a special agent of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation.
Mr. SPECTER. And how long have you been so employed?
Mr. SHANEYFELT. Fourteen years.
Mr. SPECTER. What are your duties, in a general way?
Mr SHANEYFELT. I am assigned to the FBI Laboratory, as a document
examiner, and photographic expert.
Mr. SPECTER. During the course of those duties, have you had occasion
to make an analysis of certain movies which purport to have been taken
of the assassination?
Mr. SHANEYFELT. Yes; I have.
Mr. SPECTER. What movies have you examined?
Mr. SHANEYFELT. I have examined a roll of 8-mm. motion pictures made by
Mr. Abraham Zapruder of Dallas, Tex., that he took on November 22, of
the assassination of President Kennedy.
Mr. SPECTER. Can you outline in a general way how the movies taken by
Mr. Zapruder came into your possession?
