Warren Commission (06 of 26): Hearings Vol. VI (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. SPECTER. You mean Featherstone?
Mrs. HILL. Yes; that the shots had come from a window up in the
Depository and for me not to say that any more, that I was wrong about
it, and I said "Very well," and so I just didn't say any more that I
ran across the street to see the man, and that's the part, as much as I
can get from when the FBI men came out and talked to me the other day,
that is the part mostly that I got that was out of context, because
what he gave the Commission was basically true.
Mr. SPECTER. What Mark Lane gave the Commission?
Mrs. HILL. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. Except for what----
Mrs. HILL. Except he didn't have his comments in there.
Mr. SPECTER. What were his comments?
Mrs. HILL. Well, as I said, the way he would ask me things I can see
why I gave the answers I did, which to me are the truth, but I can
see, taken out of context, why he or the Commission, well, not how he,
because he was listening to me--how the Commission could take it to
mean maybe something else?
Mr. SPECTER. Did he repeat then to the Commission how the Commission
could take them to mean maybe something else?
Mrs. HILL. Yes----
Mr. SPECTER. Did he repeat them to the Commission out of context--did
Mark Lane repeat them out of context?
Mrs. HILL. To me they were--to me they were--it was my comments and it
wasn't everything I said.
Mr. SPECTER. Have you now related all of the ways that Mark Lane took
your comments out of context?
Mrs. HILL. So far as I know.
Mr. SPECTER. Now, is there anything else about your conversation with
Mark Lane which you think would be helpful to the Commission to know
about?
Mrs. HILL. No.
Mr. SPECTER. Now, before getting on to Mark Lane, we were talking about
the times you had been interviewed by the authorities and you had told
me you were interviewed a couple of times by telephone by the FBI when
you called back to verify it was the FBI and about a single interview
you had with the FBI a week ago today, which would have been the 17th
of March?
Mrs. HILL. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. Now, have you had any additional interviews with any
Federal authorities before today, other than those which you have
already told me about?
Mrs. HILL. No; not that I remember.
Mr. SPECTER. Now, for the record, Mrs. Hill, I'm going to ask you some
questions about your own background--first of all I would like you to
tell me how old you are, for the record?
Mrs. HILL. Thirty-three.
Mr. SPECTER. And where is your home area--Dallas or some other part of
the country or what?
Mrs. HILL. Where am I from?
Mr. SPECTER. Where are you from?
Mrs. HILL. Oklahoma.
Mr. SPECTER. And what city in Oklahoma?
Mrs. HILL. Originally Wewoka and later Oklahoma City.
Mr. SPECTER. And are you married?
Mrs. HILL. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. And is there any unusual status with respect to your being
married at this moment?
Mrs. HILL. I am in the process of getting a divorce.
Mr. SPECTER. And how many children have you?
Mrs. HILL. I have two--a boy 12 and a girl 10.
