Warren Commission (06 of 26): Hearings Vol. VI (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Then we were taken into a very small office and a lady took his written
statement and my statement, and there were three other people who came
in, three other witnesses who come in.
There were two young men together, and one young lady who came in.
Mr. BELIN. All right, now, when you gave your statement to the police
and your husband gave his statement to the police, or to whoever the
people were taking the statement, do you remember what your husband
said?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes. Do I have to tell you again?
Mr. BELIN. Well, did he say substantially what you said?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes; I think so.
Mr. BELIN. Anything else that he said that you haven't related here?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I believe he may have said that the man had dark hair.
Either he said that the man had dark hair, or he didn't see what color
the man's hair was. And he said just about the same thing I said here,
I think.
Mr. BELIN. All right, anything else that was said there by your husband?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I don't remember anything else.
Mr. BELIN. Did your husband at that time say whether or not he had kept
any watch on the window of the School Book Depository Building after he
saw this man with the gun?
Mrs. ROWLAND. No.
Mr. BELIN. You mean he----
Mrs. ROWLAND. He didn't say.
Mr. BELIN. Did he say whether or not he had seen any other people in
the windows of the School Book Depository Building?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes; I am fairly certain that he said there were other
people looking out the windows.
Mr. BELIN. Did he say whether or not there were any other people on
that same floor looking out the windows?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I am not certain whether he said or not. But I know there
weren't any other people on that floor looking out the windows that
could be seen from the outside.
Mr. BELIN. How do you know that?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I mean I know they couldn't be seen from the outside,
because I couldn't see them. I am nearsighted.
Mr. BELIN. Were you keeping any watch on the building after the time
you saw the man with the rifle?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Well----
Mr. BELIN. Did you look up at that building from time to time?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Well, I didn't pay any special attention to the building,
but I am sure I glanced at the building more than once afterwards,
because I can't just stand and stare in one direction.
Mr. BELIN. Do you mean you were just glancing at that building as you
were glancing at other places?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. When you were glancing at that building, do you remember
whether you glanced at it, say, within 10 minutes prior to the
motorcade?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I don't remember. But most of the windows on that floor
were closed, and the people who were looking out usually were looking
out at an open window.
Mr. BELIN. Did you see any people look out of any open windows?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. About how many did you see all told, if you can remember?
Mrs. ROLAND. Two or three, I think.
Mr. BELIN. Any more than two or three looking out of windows?
