United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. ROWLAND. I am not positive exactly what time she said, but it was
before, she said, she heard about the President being shot, and she
came back there to tell them she had seen a man earlier carrying a gun
in a rifle case.
Mr. BELIN. She had seen some man, that had blond hair, downtown
carrying a gun in a rifle case?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. That is all she knew?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Anything else?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Well, I believe that is all she knew.
Mr. BELIN. Is there anything else that you can add?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Well, there were two young men who came in too, and they
said something about seeing a man carrying a rifle downtown. I believe
they also said he was a blond man.
Mr. BELIN. Anything else?
Mrs. ROWLAND. That he was over 6 feet, and he was well built, from what
they said, and that is all I know.
Mr. BELIN. What did your husband say about that?
Mrs. ROWLAND. He didn't comment, I don't think.
Mr. BELIN. Was there anything else that took place while you and your
husband were over giving your statements, that you can think of right
now? Anything else that your husband said?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Not that I remember.
Mr. BELIN. All right, then, where did you go?
Mrs. ROWLAND. We left and we walked in an easterly direction and we
went to a coin shop and looked around for a while, and then I went home
and he went to work.
Mr. BELIN. Where was he working?
Mrs. ROWLAND. At the Pizza Inn on West Davis. He caught a bus and went
to work, and I caught a bus and went home.
Mr. BELIN. Then what happened? When did you see him next?
Mrs. ROWLAND. No, wait a minute, I didn't go home very soon. The
bus--there was poor bus service, and I didn't go home until quite,
until about 9:00, I think, and I saw him the next morning.
Mr. BELIN. Had he been contacted at the Pizza Inn later that night, do
you know, or not?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I don't think so.
Mr. BELIN. All right, now, were either you or he contacted at any time
during that day by any law enforcement agency?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I don't think we were contacted the next day.
Mr. BELIN. That would have been Saturday?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Saturday, I know we weren't. I am not positive.
Mr. BELIN. When were you next contacted, either on that Saturday or
that Sunday?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I think so. I am not positive.
Mr. BELIN. Let me ask you how many times after November 22 were you
contacted by some law enforcement agency?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Me personally?
Mr. BELIN. You personally.
Mrs. ROWLAND. I spoke to law enforcement officers about three or four
times, I think.
Mr. BELIN. About how many times in November? Once on the 22d?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes. And we were contacted once Sunday morning at the
Pizza Inn during November. I think it was the next Sunday.
Mr. BELIN. The 24th?
