United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. WESTBROOK. Yes, it could have been under any of the other cars, but
I think it was kind of along in the middle of the parking lot.
Mr. BALL. I offer this as Exhibit B of Captain Westbrook's deposition.
Now, you don't know the name of the officer?
Mr. WESTBROOK. No; I probably knew his name, but we see so many things
that were happening so fast.
Mr. BALL. Do you recognize anything in that picture?
Mr. WESTBROOK. (Examining instrument referred to.) No; I don't.
Mr. BALL. This is No. 39, which I identify for the record.
(Instrument marked by the reporter as "Westbrook Exhibit No. D," "39.
View of alley behind Texaco station parking lot.")
Mr. WESTBROOK. I still think this is the house here--I think this is
the old house and this is the parking lot and I would say the jacket
was found behind this row of cars. It seemed to me like there was
some--more room from where the cars were from what is shown there--back
this way.
Mr. BALL. Point out the old house.
Mr. WESTBROOK. This one.
Mr. BALL. Mark it.
(Witness marked instrument referred to as requested by Counsel Ball.)
Mr. BALL. Point out the row of cars where the jacket was found.
Mr. WESTBROOK. Well, that, I don't believe I could do----
Mr. BALL. Was it near the alley?
Mr. WESTBROOK. It was near--but not this close--it don't seem to me.
Mr. BALL. Not as close as shown in the picture?
Mr. WESTBROOK. It don't seem to me--I can't remember for sure.
Mr. BALL. I offer this exhibit, Westbrook No. D.
Mr. WESTBROOK. Now, I did, when I left this scene, I turned this jacket
over to one of the officers and I went by that church, I think, and I
think that would be on 10th Street.
Mr. BALL. I show you Commission Exhibit 162, do you recognize that?
Mr. WESTBROOK. That is exactly the jacket we found.
Mr. BALL. That is the jacket you found?
Mr. WESTBROOK. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. And you turned it over to whom?
Mr. WESTBROOK. Now, it was to this officer--that got the name.
Mr. BALL. Does your report show the name of the officer?
Mr. WESTBROOK. No, sir; it doesn't. When things like this happen--it
was happening so fast you don't remember those things.
Mr. BALL. Then, it was after that you went over to 10th and Patton?
Mr. WESTBROOK. To 10th and Patton--yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. And from there you went to the theatre?
Mr. WESTBROOK. Yes; from there we went to the theatre, and I can't
remember exactly how that I got back with Bob Barrett and Stringer, but
anyway, we got together again--probably at 10th and Patton.
Mr. BALL. Were you in the personnel office at a time that a gun was
brought in?
Mr. WESTBROOK. Yes, sir; it was brought to my office when it shouldn't
have been.
Mr. BALL. But it was brought to your office?
Mr. WESTBROOK. Yes; it was.
Mr. BALL. And it was marked by some officer?
