United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. BELIN. And what side of the building would the window have been in?
Mr. FISCHER. It would have been--well, as you're looking toward the
front of the building, it would have been to your right.
Mr. BELIN. Well, the building itself has four sides--a north, east,
south, and a west side--the entire sides of the building. Would this
have been the north, south, east, or west side of the building?
Mr. FISCHER. It would have been the south side--the entrance.
Mr. BELIN. All right. Now, on that south side of the building--now, was
it the center part of the south side, the east part of the south side,
or the west part of the south side?
Mr. FISCHER. The east part of the south side.
Mr. BELIN. All right.
Now, with reference to the east corner of the south side there--would
it have been the first window next to that corner, the second, the
third, or the fourth--or what?
Mr. FISCHER. First window.
Mr. BELIN. From the east corner of the south side?
Mr. FISCHER. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember anything about the man? Could you describe
his appearance at all? First of all, how much of him could you see?
Mr. FISCHER. I could see from about the middle of his chest past the
top of his head.
Mr. BELIN. All right.
Mr. FISCHER. He was in the--as you're looking toward that window, he
was in the lower right portion of the window. He seemed to be sitting a
little forward.
And he had--he had on an open-neck shirt, but it--uh--could have been
a sport shirt or a T-shirt. It was light in color; probably white,
I couldn't tell whether it had long sleeves or whether it was a
short-sleeved shirt, but it was open-neck and light in color.
Uh--he had a slender face and neck--uh--and he had a light
complexion--he was a white man. And he looked to be 22 or 24 years old.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember anything about the color of his hair?
Mr. FISCHER. His hair seemed to be--uh--neither light nor dark;
possibly a light--well, possibly a--well, it was a brown was what it
was; but as to whether it was light or dark, I can't say.
Mr. BELIN. Did he have a thick head of hair or did he have a receding
hair-line--or couldn't you tell?
Mr. FISCHER. I couldn't tell. He couldn't have had very long hair,
because his hair didn't seem to take up much space--of what I could see
of his head. His hair must have been short and not long.
Mr. BELIN. Well, did you see a full view of his face or more of a
profile of it, or what was it?
Mr. FISCHER. I saw it at an angle but, at the same time, I could see--I
believe I could see the tip of his right cheek as he looked to my left.
Mr. BELIN. Now, could you be anything more definite as to what
direction he was looking at?
Mr. FISCHER. He looked to me like he was looking straight at the triple
underpass.
Mr. BELIN. Down what street?
Mr. FISCHER. Elm Street.
Mr. BELIN. Down Elm?
Mr. FISCHER. Toward the end of Elm Street.
Mr. BELIN. As it angles there and goes under the triple underpass there?
Mr. FISCHER. Yes, sir.
