United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. HILL. Because he was the only thing moving up there. The other
people were all grief stricken and standing there and I don't know what
I would have done with him when I got up there, but I don't know why I
even had the instinct to run, and I don't know that it is anything even
connected with this, but since I had already--I have told it and it is
part of my recollection, I am just stating it again.
Mr. SPECTER. Well, was there anything about the man that attracted your
attention to him beside the fact that he was moving?
Mrs. HILL. I just thought at the time--that's the man that did it.
Mr. SPECTER. Why did you think that this was the man that did it?
Mrs. HILL. I just don't know--I mean--that was my thought.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you see any weapon in his hand?
Mrs. HILL. No; I never saw a weapon during the whole time, in anyone's
hand.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you see that man from the front?
Mrs. HILL. As well as I remember, now, when I saw him he was turning
and going to the west.
Mr. SPECTER. Was he in the process of turning when you first saw him?
Mrs. HILL. Yes; I would say he was turning.
Mr. SPECTER. So that you had some view of his front part of his body?
Mrs. HILL. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. And did you see any weapon at that time?
Mrs. HILL. No, sir; he was three-fourths turned by the time I did see
him.
Mr. SPECTER. Could you see both of his hands at that time?
Mrs. HILL. No.
Mr. SPECTER. Could you see one of his hands at that time?
Mrs. HILL. No; I do not even remember seeing his hands.
Mr. SPECTER. I mean, if he was turning, his hands would have been
visible, wouldn't they?
Mrs. HILL. They surely would have been.
Mr. SPECTER. So, what you are saying is, you don't have any
recollection of seeing his hands?
Mrs. HILL. I have no recollection--that's right.
Mr. SPECTER. But from the position of his body, his hands would have
been in the position where they could have been observed?
Mrs. HILL. That's right--surely.
Mr. SPECTER. And do you have any recollection of observing any weapon
in either hand?
Mrs. HILL. No; I never saw a weapon the whole time.
Mr. SPECTER. Had you moved from point "A" at the time you first saw
him?
Mrs. HILL. That's the reason I ran across the street.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you see him while you were at point "A"?
Mrs. HILL. Do you mean prior to the shots? Yes; I saw him, that's the
reason why I went across the street.
Mr. SPECTER. So, you saw him when you were at point "A"?
Mrs. HILL. That's right--that's the reason I left that spot.
Mr. SPECTER. And he was at point "C" when you first saw him?
Mrs. HILL. That's right.
Mr. SPECTER. Did he move before you moved?
Mrs. HILL. His moving made me start after him.
Mr. SPECTER. So, he did move before you moved?
