Warren Commission (07 of 26): Hearings Vol. VII (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. TURNER. Chief Lumpkin told me to search out a caboose to a train
that was parked at the rear of the building. I went in and searched
this boxcar out, and come out of there, and by that time they were
already in the building, I supposed. I went in the building and that is
when I ran across this Mr. Campbell and Truly.
Mr. BELIN. Now let me ask you this. Did you find anything in the boxcar?
Mr. TURNER. No, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Did you see any railroad employee over there?
Mr. TURNER. At the boxcar?
Mr. BELIN. Or in this area, did you talk to anybody?
Mr. TURNER. No sir; this was a caboose of a boxcar, that is what it
was, sitting there.
Mr. BELIN. Did you talk to anyone over there that indicated where they
heard the shots came from?
Mr. TURNER. Talked to these people from the School Book Depository.
Mr. BELIN. Prior to the time you got to the School Book Depository, did
you talk to anyone?
Mr. TURNER. No, sir.
Mr. BELIN. All right, now, you say you saw Mr. Campbell and Mr. Truly,
and who else?
Mr. TURNER. Mr. Molina.
Mr. BELIN. They all worked there?
Mr. TURNER. Yes; they said they did.
Mr. BELIN. Where did you talk to them?
Mr. TURNER. Down on the first floor of this building, back sort of a
warehouse like.
Mr. BELIN. Did they say where they heard the shots come from?
Mr. TURNER. Yes, sir; they did.
Mr. BELIN. What did they say?
Mr. TURNER. Well, I believe they said they thought they all came from
west of the building at that time.
Mr. BELIN. Did they say where they were when they heard the shots, when
the shots came?
Mr. TURNER. Well, according to my notes, Mr. Truly stated that he was
at the front of the store watching the parade in the front of the
building, and Mr. Campbell had walked across the street, and this Joe
Molina, I don't have on here where he was. He just said he worked in
the warehouse.
Mr. BELIN. That is all your notes show on him?
Mr. TURNER. Said they all thought the sound came from west of their
building.
Mr. BELIN. Can I take a look at that book of yours? It might cut down
the questioning?
Mr. TURNER. Yes; this is more or less some notes.
Mr. BELIN. You are handing me kind of a spiral notebook that you have.
I notice here, well, let me ask you this. Then what did you do after
that?
Mr. TURNER. About that time there was a deputy sheriff, Mr. Sweatt,
come over and told me they sent a witness over to their office, which
was located diagonally across the street, and said this witness might
be able to shed light on the description of a suspect, so I went to the
sheriff's office and I stayed there for quite some spell talking to
witnesses.
Mr. BELIN. Who did you talk to?
Mr. TURNER. Several of them. I would have to look up their names.
Mr. BELIN. Well, looking at your index in your little notebook, I see
you have something about an Arnold Rowland there?
Mr. TURNER. Yes; I talked to Rowland.
