United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. ROWLAND. Not that I remember.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember whether or not any of those that you saw
looking out of windows were looking out of the sixth floor?
Mrs. ROWLAND. They weren't.
Mr. BELIN. They were not? Were they on any floor higher than the sixth
floor?
Mrs. ROWLAND. No.
Mr. BELIN. Were they all on floors lower than the sixth floor?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Did your husband state in the presence of you at any
time while he was giving any of these statements on the afternoon
of November 22, whether or not he saw any people looking out of the
building?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Where did he say he saw them?
Mrs. ROWLAND. He didn't say exactly where he saw them, but the windows
on the floor above the sixth floor were all closed, and I think they
were never open.
Mr. BELIN. All right. So they wouldn't have been on the seventh floor?
Mrs. ROWLAND. No.
Mr. BELIN. Did he say whether or not he saw any people looking out of
any other windows on the sixth floor?
Mrs. ROWLAND. He didn't say, I don't believe.
Mr. BELIN. Did he say what floor? He didn't say whether he did or did
not, is that your testimony, or did he say that he did not?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I don't believe he said whether or not he saw any other
people on the sixth floor.
Mr. BELIN. What did he say about what he saw? Do you remember about how
many people he said he saw looking out of the windows?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I don't believe he said any certain number of people.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember anything that he said about that?
Mrs. ROWLAND. He just said that there were some other people looking
out of some windows in the same building.
Mr. BELIN. Did he specifically locate them in any way?
Mrs. ROWLAND. No.
Mr. BELIN. All right, is there any other thing that your husband
said in your presence that afternoon pertaining to this School Book
Depository Building?
Mrs. ROWLAND. No; I don't believe so.
Mr. BELIN. How long did you stay over there?
Mrs. ROWLAND. We were there until about 2:00 or 3:00, I think.
Mr. BELIN. Then what did you do?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Then we left and walked around town and tried to get a
newspaper, and before we left, we knew that the President was dead.
From that--for a while, we were in a room alone with a lady who came in
to testify, and said that she had seen a blond man carrying a rifle in
a rifle bag, and he said that probably it couldn't have been the man he
saw because the man he saw was dark-haired.
Mr. BELIN. Did this woman say where she was--where she saw the
blond-haired man?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I believe she said in front of some sporting goods store.
I am not certain.
Mr. BELIN. Did she say where the sporting goods store was?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Some place downtown, but I don't remember exactly.
Mr. BELIN. Was it in the immediate vicinity of the School Book
Depository Building?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Meaning?
Mr. BELIN. Within a block of it?
Mrs. ROWLAND. No.
Mr. BELIN. Did she say when she saw a blond-haired man carrying a rifle?
