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. BELIN. Is there anything else that you can think of that you saw.
Mr. MILLER. About the time I looked over to the side there, there was
a police officer. No; a motorcycle running his motor under against the
curb, and jumped off and come up to the hill toward the top and right
behind him was some more officers and plainclothesmen, too.
Mr. BELIN. Did you see anyone that might be, that gave any suspicious
movements of any kind over there?
Mr. MILLER. No, sir; I didn't.
Mr. BELIN. Did you see anyone when you looked around on the railroad
tracks, that you hadn't seen before?
Mr. MILLER. No, sir; I didn't. We was all standing in one group right
at the rail looking over, and the police officer, he was standing about
5 or 10 feet behind us.
Mr. BELIN. Now about how many were there in that group altogether, if
you can remember?
Mr. MILLER. I would say in the neighborhood of 10 or 12 people. Maybe
more, maybe less.
Mr. BELIN. Apart from those people, did you see anyone else in the
vicinity at all on the railroad tracks?
Mr. MILLER. There was one young man or boy. He was going to come up on
the tracks, but the police officer stopped him and asked him where he
was going, and he said he was going to come up where he could see, and
he asked if he worked for the train station, and he said, "No," so the
police officer made him go back down.
Where he went to, I don't know.
Mr. BELIN. When was this?
Mr. MILLER. Oh, before the President came along.
Mr. BELIN. About how much before, do you know? Offhand?
Mr. MILLER. I couldn't say.
Mr. BELIN. Do you know anything about this man or boy that you
described? About how old he was, or anything?
Mr. MILLER. I can't think. I would say he was in his early twenties.
Mr. BELIN. Tall or short?
Mr. MILLER. I don't remember that much about him. I do recall him
coming up and the man talking to him and turning him back.
Mr. BELIN. So he went back down?
Mr. MILLER. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Where did he come up from?
Mr. MILLER. He came up from the--I am going by where I was standing. He
was from our left, from around behind that parking lot.
Mr. BELIN. Did you ever see him again or not?
Mr. MILLER. No, sir; I didn't.
Mr. BELIN. Did you ever see anyone else in that area at all or anything
on the railroad tracks at any time?
Mr. MILLER. No, sir; not until after the shots were fired and the
police officers came up the hill and climbed over the fence and started
searching.
Mr. BELIN. That was the only other people that you saw?
Mr. MILLER. That is all I recall seeing.
Mr. BELIN. Anything else that you can add that might be of help in any
way to the Commission, or to the investigation into the assassination?
Mr. MILLER. Offhand, no, sir; I don't recall anything else.
My statement at the time may have some more, but I don't recall exactly
what all did happen for sure.
Mr. BELIN. Well, you and I never met until just a few minutes ago, did
we?
Mr. MILLER. No, sir.
