United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. BALL. That's right--do you remember that?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. I don't remember the sack being right there--I remember
it was there somewhere, but exactly--I don't.
Mr. BALL. Evidently you don't know?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. No, sir.
Mr. BALL. Now, was there some more chicken some place there also?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Yes--there would be some more chicken over here around
where the hulls were found.
Mr. BALL. Now, I will show you a picture of----
Mr. MONTGOMERY. I know there was one piece laying up on top of the box
there.
Mr. BALL. I show you a picture which is Exhibit J, which shows some
boxes in the picture that's in the southeast corner there.
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Can you tell me where the chicken was?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. I believe it was right up on these boxes right along in
there. There's some boxes coming along in there.
Mr. BALL. Coming along in there--you mean it's outside of the view of
the pictures?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Yes, sir; right along in here.
Mr. BALL. And that would be to the north, of that point?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. And what did you see on top of those boxes?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. There was one piece of chicken there.
Mr. BALL. Partially eaten?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Yes; I believe it was partially eaten--on that picture
right there--I was just looking at.
Mr. BALL. That's Exhibit J.
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Right over here is where we found that long piece of
paper that looked like a sack, that the rifle had been in.
Mr. BALL. Does that have a number--that area--where you found that long
piece of paper?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. It's No. 2 right here.
Mr. BALL. You found the sack in the area marked 2 on Exhibit J to the
Studebaker deposition. Did you pick the sack up?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Which sack are we talking about now?
Mr. BALL. The paper sack?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. The small one or the larger one?
Mr. BALL. The larger one you mentioned that was in position 2.
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. You picked it up?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Wait just a minute--no; I didn't pick it up. I believe
Mr. Studebaker did. We left it laying right there so they could check
it for prints.
Mr. BALL. Did you question any witnesses that day?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Let's see--that particular day--no, sir; I don't
believe I talked to a witness that day.
Mr. BALL. Did you talk to any witnesses at any time?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Not to the assassination--no, sir.
Mr. BALL. Did you talk to witnesses that had anything to do with the
shooting of Tippit?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Well, we went out and got two of them and brought them
down.
Mr. BALL. Who were they?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Let's see, there was a taxicab driver--Whaley--one of
them was Mr. Whaley and there was another one.
Mr. BALL. Was there a Mr. Scoggins?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. That could be his name--I just don't recall.
Mr. BALL. Do you have a report that you made of what you did?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. I didn't take an affidavit from him--no, sir; I took
one from Mr. Whaley.
Mr. BALL. Now, did you attend a showup?
