United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Were there any boxes on the ledge of this window?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Did you take some pictures showing those boxes?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Was that before any of them were moved?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. That picture right there is the one that shows them,
and the other pictures show them before they were moved.
Mr. BALL. You mean Exhibit A and B?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. A and B.
Mr. BALL. Do you have a picture that shows the boxes themselves, just a
shot of those boxes in the window?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. This one, Exhibit A, shows that--this is the
exact--now, this print here isn't too good, but you can see the
indentation in this box right here. This is before it was ever moved,
and right down below here, you can see a staple on another box or
another negative, this isn't too good a negative here. If I had known
what you wanted, I would have brought you a better print--picked out a
better print.
Mr. BALL. Now, you say on Exhibit A it shows a box in the window?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. These boxes [indicating], yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Is that the way they were piled up?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes, just exactly like that.
Mr. BALL. And you say there is an indentation on that box?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Right here.
Mr. BALL. That shows in the picture.
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Will you take this pen and sort of surround that and make it
look a little heavier?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. (Marked exhibit as requested by Counsel Ball.)
Mr. BALL. There was an indentation in the box, was there?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes, and you can tell on these boxes. We checked them
all over and this box is a Second Rolling Readers--that was carried
from the fourth aisle over here to over here (indicating) and there is
another box that was taken off of this stack--this stack right here.
Mr. BALL. Is it shown in the picture?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. It will show on another negative.
Mr. BALL. You see, somebody reading this can't tell what you mean by
"another box taken from this stack here."
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Well, there is a box right under this.
Mr. BALL. Right under what?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Right under this box.
Mr. BALL. You mean the box that's shown in the window ledge, you mean
the little Rolling Readers?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. There are two boxes stacked up here--here's one, and
here's one.
Mr. BALL. Were they both Rolling Readers?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes; two small boxes, and then a large box with these
books was underneath.
Mr. BALL. It's marked "books"?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. It's marked "books" and it was underneath this box.
Mr. BALL. Now, the box marked "books" was underneath the box marked
"Rolling Readers"?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes; Second Rolling Readers.
Mr. BALL. Now, there were two Rolling Readers boxes, weren't there?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Where were they taken from?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. They were taken from the fourth aisle and put there.
Mr. BALL. Where were they stacked in the window?
