United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HILL. This is a .38 caliber Western shell with the identification
mark Q-78, with the other markings of JH and CK on it, and also on the
shell casing near the rear of the bullet is the name H-i-l-l, with
which I marked it.
Mr. BELIN. Handing you Q-80.
Mr. HILL. Okay. This is an R.-P. .38 shell with the identification
number Q-80.
The initials CK and JH near the "Q" number on the jacket of this one.
Also is the name H-i-l-l scratched into the metal, which I placed on
it. And this one also is a plain lead shell.
Mr. BELIN. Handing you Q-81, do you see Q-81, on there?
Mr. HILL. This is an R and P shell with the identification number Q-81,
with the initials CK and JH scratched near the "Q" number.
On the side of this shell also is the word H-i-l-l, which was placed on
this shell by me.
This is a .38 lead slug.
Mr. BELIN. What is the fact as to whether or not all of these slugs
were removed from this gun which has been marked as Exhibit 143?
What is the fact as to whether or not all of those six were removed?
Mr. HILL. All six of the slugs that were identified immediately
previous to this point were removed from the gun, identified as
Commission Exhibit 143, by me.
Mr. BELIN. What is the fact as to whether or not from the time this gun
was handed to you until the time you removed these six bullets, this
gun was in your possession?
Mr. HILL. The gun remained in my possession until it, from the time
it was given to me until the gun was marked and all the shells were
marked. They remained in my personal possession. After they were
marked, they were released by me to Detective T. L. Baker of the
homicide bureau. He came to the personnel office and requested that
they be given to him, and I marked them and turned them over to him at
this point.
Mr. BELIN. All right, now, I want to return to the car, Sergeant Hill.
You stated that this gun was handed to you by----
Mr. HILL. Detective Bob Carroll.
Mr. BELIN. Detective Bob Carroll when he got in?
Mr. HILL. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. All right.
After he handed you--handed the gun to you, will you tell us what
happened inside the car, or whether anyone made any remarks? And if you
can, what happened in the car?
Mr. HILL. We mostly got the car in motion, traveled to the first corner
where we could make a right turn, made a right turn, traveled one
block, made another right turn, continued down this street, and at this
point we would have been going east until we reached Zangs Boulevard,
and turned left onto Zangs.
Within, I would say seconds--this is just a guess--after we got in the
car, I picked up the radio and used the call number 550, car 2, which
No. 550 is the number assigned to the personnel office, and because I
knew the captain was out in the field and he would be using 550, if he
got on the radio.
I used call 550, car 2, and made the statement, "We have suspect and
weapon and are en route to the station."
