United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
You see these boxes all right stacked up here, and you couldn't get
over here to take another picture in that way, without getting up on
everything and messing everything up. This is exact before anything was
ever moved or picked up.
There are just two different views there. You probably got one or two
recopies. We printed a bunch of them.
Mr. BALL. Is this the same picture?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. That's the same picture, only you don't have it there
either.
Mr. BALL. It doesn't show it?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. It doesn't show the third hull laying beside this box.
Mr. BALL. We have a picture which shows the three hulls, which is
Exhibit A, and a picture showing the two hulls, will be marked "Exhibit
B."
(Instrument referred to marked by the reporter as "Studebaker Exhibit
B," for identification.)
Mr. STUDEBAKER. The first pictures was shots on the southeast facing
west, and this one here is facing east.
Mr. BALL. In other words, Exhibit A was filmed from the east, with the
camera facing west?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. And Exhibit B is what?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Facing east.
Mr. BALL. You are facing east?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. We have a jacket we made up that has all of those
pictures numbered in there, and I believe he made an explanation on
every one of those.
Mr. BALL. We will identify your Exhibit A as your No. 20 and your
Exhibit B as your No. 19. Now, what other pictures did you take?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Of the rifle?
Mr. BALL. Yes.
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes, sir; that's why, right after these were taken,
they said they had found a rifle and to bring the cameras over to the
northwest corner of the building where the rifle was found and I loaded
everything up and carried it over there.
Mr. BALL. Did you take a picture of that?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes, sir; on these, Lieutenant Day also took pictures
of those, and he also took pictures of this gun. We took two shots
apiece.
Mr. BALL. Let's see the shots you took of the place where the gun was
located?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. I know it's mine because my knees are in the picture.
Mr. BALL. Do you remember the name of the deputy sheriff that found the
gun?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. No, I don't.
Mr. BALL. You have handed me a picture now that I will have marked as
"Exhibit C" and it is your No. 22.
(Instrument marked by the reporter as "Studebaker Exhibit C," for
identification.)
Mr. BALL. That is a picture taken by you of the location of the
gun--that was before anyone moved it?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Do you have another shot of that other picture?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. No, we took two from the same location when we was up
on top of the stack of boxes shooting down at it, before they picked it
up. Actually, there was four negatives of them of the gun, but they are
all in the same location, shooting straight down and they were taken on
different exposures.
Mr. BALL. You took some other pictures, didn't you?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Did you take a picture of the window in the southeast corner?
