United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. HILL. They came out and brought TV cameras and were going to take,
and they told me they were not going to tell me the questions that they
were going to ask me, that they wanted to get my reactions to their
questions, and they set up rather, I would say they set up hypothetical
situations like--could he have been shot from the window, if this is
the kind of wound that it would have made? Or, to make this kind of a
wound, he had to have been here, now which, you know--and so I told
them and from what I gathered that day, they did not think I had--I
had gotten the idea from them, that there was speculation or some
reasonable doubt that I--that Oswald did not do all the shooting and
that all these shots did not come from the window.
Mr. SPECTER. You told the newspaper and the television cameramen that?
Mrs. HILL. That's what I got from them from the questions they asked me.
Mr. SPECTER. What answers did you give them to those questions?
Mrs. HILL. Well, when they would set up a situation, I would tell them
what I thought would have had to happen in that situation.
Mr. SPECTER. Well, without formulating any questions which would
lead you in any way to any conclusions, let me ask you for your best
recollection as to what you think occurred, as to the point where the
assassin was, if you have any idea on that question?
Mrs. HILL. Well, as I said previously, to me at the time the shot came
from the knoll, you know.
Mr. SPECTER. And you have testified to that because of the sound of the
shots?
Mrs. HILL. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. And also because you saw this man running away.
Mrs. HILL. That's right.
Mr. SPECTER. Do you think perhaps that you had the impression that that
came from the knoll exclusively because you saw the man running away?
And your reaction that that must have been the man who did the shooting?
Mrs. HILL. It could have been very well--it could have been.
Mr. SPECTER. Now, are there any other factors which led you to think
that the shots came from the knoll, factors other than those you have
already told me about?
Mrs. HILL. Except that I believe these men thought so that night.
Mr. SPECTER. Well, never mind the men, but focus just on what your
reaction was at the time.
Mrs. HILL. That's what I thought. At the time I thought that there was
more than one person shooting, as I said before.
Mr. SPECTER. Well, you have already told me about that and you told me
about the source of the knoll, and you told me why you thought that
was more than one person, and now, what I'm trying to get at is why
you thought they came from the knoll--was it first because the way the
shot sounded and secondly, because the man ran away, and then I asked
you the second question--did you think perhaps they came from the knoll
exclusively because you saw the man run away, and you said you thought
that might be the case.
Mrs. HILL. Could be.
