United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. BOWLAND. On a lower floor, about the fourth floor, I think, and
nearer the center window. The windows nearer the center.
Mr. BELIN. On some floor lower than the sixth floor, which you think
was the fourth floor?
Mrs. BOWLAND. About the fourth floor.
Mr. BELIN. Did you and your husband comment about these other men?
Mrs. BOWLAND. We may have said something about there being other people
watching, I am not sure.
Mr. BELIN. Did you particularly watch the sixth floor because of the
fact that you had seen or your husband had seen a person on the sixth
floor?
Mrs. BOWLAND. We looked at it for a few minutes, but we didn't look
back, and when we heard the shots, we didn't look back up there. I
grabbed his hand and started running toward the car.
Mr. BELIN. Let me ask you this now. From the time that you saw or your
husband said he saw a man on the southwest part of the sixth floor,
which you say was about 15 minutes before the motorcade came by, how
much longer did you look back up at the building?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Just about 2 or 3 minutes.
Mr. BELIN. After that?
Mrs. ROWLAND. About 2 minutes.
Mr. BELIN. You mean about 2 minutes after that time?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. So that would be up to a time of about 13 minutes before the
motorcade came by?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Did you ever look back at the building after that period of
time?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I may have glanced at it, but I don't remember looking
back for the purpose of seeing the man.
Mr. BELIN. All right, or any man there?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Any man there.
Mr. BELIN. What were you doing from the 13 minutes on before the
motorcade came until the time it came?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Just talking and looking.
Mr. BELIN. Where were you looking?
Mrs. ROWLAND. At the street and the other people, and we talked about
some men who were carrying cameras.
Mr. BELIN. Now when you were standing watching the motorcade or
standing watching the street scene, do you remember if your husband was
to your right or to your left? Was he closer towards the School Book
Depository Building?
Mrs. ROWLAND. No; he was to my left most of the time, I think.
Mr. BELIN. What was he doing?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Just standing there talking.
Mr. BELIN. Talking to you?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Do you know whether or not if he ever looked back at the
building?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I wouldn't know for certain.
Mr. BELIN. Did he ever tell you he was looking back at the building?
Mrs. ROWLAND. No.
Mr. BELIN. Did you ever notice him looking back at the building?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Not that I remember.
Mr. BELIN. Was he generally looking at you when he was talking with you?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Not necessarily. He might have been looking around at the
street or at the building.
Mr. BELIN. Or at anything?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes.
