United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. BELIN. If you said four, you mean the affidavit--maybe we'd better
introduce it into the record as Edward's Deposition Exhibit A. Where do
you think the shots came from?
Mr. EDWARDS. I have no idea.
Mr. BELIN. In the affidavit you stated that the shots seemed to come
from the building there. Did you really say that or not?
Mr. EDWARDS. No; I didn't say that.
Mr. BELIN. All right, anything else you can think of?
Mr. EDWARDS. No.
Mr. BELIN. I want to thank you for coming down here. You have an
opportunity, if you want, to come back and read this deposition and
sign it, or else you can waive the signing and reading of it and it
will be sent directly to Washington by the court reporter. It makes
no difference to us. You can read and sign or can waive reading and
signing.
Mr. EDWARDS. I don't want to make an extra trip.
Mr. BELIN. Do you want to waive it then?
Mr. EDWARDS. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Thank you, sir.
TESTIMONY OF MRS. JEAN LOLLIS HILL
The testimony of Mrs. Jean Lollis Hill was taken at 2:30 p.m., on March
24, 1964, in the office of the U.S. attorney, 301 Post Office Building,
Bryan and Ervay Streets, Dallas, Tex., by Mr. Arlen Specter, assistant
counsel of the President's Commission.
Mr. SPECTER. May the record show that Mrs. Jean Lollis Hill is present
at this moment in response to a letter request that she appear and
give a deposition to the President's Commission investigating the
assassination of President Kennedy.
May I say for the record, Mrs. Hill, that the Commission is
investigating all of the facts relating to the shooting and, and we
have asked you to appear here today to tell us what you know, if
anything, relating to the actual assassination, because we understand
you were on the scene or nearby at that time.
May the record further reflect that Mrs. Hill was sent a letter under
date of March 18, 1964. With that preliminary statement, I will ask
you, Mrs. Hill, to stand and raise your right hand, if you will please.
Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you shall give before the
President's Commission in this deposition proceeding will be the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Mrs. HILL. I do.
Mr. SPECTER. Will you be seated, please, Mrs. Hill? And would you state
your full name for the record?
Mrs. HILL. Jean Lollis Hill.
Mr. SPECTER. Mrs. Hill, have you received a letter request?
Mrs. HILL. Yes, sir; I have.
Mr. SPECTER. Under date of March 18, 1964?
Mrs. HILL. I have it here.
Mr. SPECTER. Well, when did you see that letter request?
Mrs. HILL. Well, I guess I got it 2 or 3 days afterward--March 18--so I
must have gotten it Monday--no; I couldn't have gotten it yesterday--I
got it Saturday.
Mr. SPECTER. That would have been March 21?
Mrs. HILL. That's right.
