United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. STUDEBAKER. When you make a negative, you have to put it on your
exposure when you expose the thing, and you see, you lose part of your
negative.
Mr. BALL. First, let me get back to what we were talking about first.
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Well, this box was sitting right here--the first box in
Exhibit A.
Mr. BALL. Wait just a minute--let me direct your attention to Exhibit
B, does it show a box on the window ledge?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. This box--the Second Rolling Readers.
Mr. BALL. That picture was taken before the box was moved?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes.
Mr. BALL. That box shown in the window ledge in Exhibit B was the
Rolling Readers box?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes.
Mr. BALL. And underneath that was another box?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Another Rolling Reader box?
Mr. BALL. And underneath that sitting on the floor was another box?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. A box marked "books".
Mr. BALL. It was larger in size?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. It was larger in size.
Mr. BALL. Than the Rolling Readers box?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Now, the one marked "books", how was that standing, was it on
its end or on its side?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. It was on its end. You see, these staples right along
here, these staples show in another print. They don't show in this
print--this is just a bad print.
Mr. BALL. When you say "in this," what is it?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. This is Exhibit--what is it?
Mr. BALL. This is Exhibit A.
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Exhibit A--it was standing on end.
Mr. BALL. Now, in Exhibit A--can you tell me looking at Exhibit A
whether or not these boxes were over near the left-hand corner of
the sill, to the left of the sill, looking out of the window, at the
center, or over at the right.
Mr. STUDEBAKER. They were in the left-hand corner of the window looking
towards Elm Street.
Mr. BALL. How close to the edge of the sill?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Right at the edge.
Mr. BALL. Right at the edge?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Now, you show an indentation or a mark on the top of the box
shown in Exhibit A, is that a little Rolling Reader box?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Now, we have a picture here which we will mark "Exhibit E."
(Instrument marked by the reporter as "Studebaker Exhibit E," for
identification.)
Mr. BALL. This is a picture of the fifth and sixth floor of the Texas
School Book Depository taken by a photographer right after shots were
fired at President Kennedy.
Can you tell me whether or not the Rolling Readers box you identified
in Exhibit A is shown in that picture?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Where?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. That's the top corner.
Mr. BALL. Where?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. That's this corner right here.
Mr. BALL. Let's put a circle around that so we can identify that.
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Have you got a ballpoint pen?
(Witness Studebaker marks the instrument referred to as requested by
Counsel Ball.)
Mr. BALL. The circle surrounds that box, is that correct?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes, sir.
