United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. POE. White male, about 25, about 5 feet 8, brown hair, medium, and
I believe she said had on a white jacket at the time.
Mr. BALL. What did you do then?
Mr. POE. We gave the description to several of the officers at the
scene. You couldn't get on the radio at the time, there was so much
traffic on the radio, and the last--the direction he was seen leaving,
and then I talked to several more witnesses around there.
Mr. BALL. Did you ever put that description on the radio?
Mr. POE. I believe we did. But I couldn't swear to it.
Mr. BALL. And what happened after that?
Mr. POE. I talked to a Spanish man, but I don't remember his name.
Dominique, I believe.
Mr. BALL. Domingo Benavides?
Mr. POE. I believe that is correct; yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. What did he tell you?
Mr. POE. He told me, give me the same, or similar description of the
man, and told me he was running out across this lawn. He was unloading
his pistol as he ran, and he picked the shells up.
Mr. BALL. Domingo told you who was running across the lawn?
Mr. POE. A man, white man.
Mr. BALL. What was he doing?
Mr. POE. He was unloading his pistol as he run.
Mr. BALL. And what did he say?
Mr. POE. He said he picked the two hulls up.
Mr. BALL. Did he hand you the hulls?
Mr. POE. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Did you put any markings on the hulls?
Mr. POE. I couldn't swear to it; no, sir.
Mr. BALL. What did you do with the hulls?
Mr. POE. I turned the hulls into the crime lab, which was at the scene.
Mr. BALL. Do you know the name of the man with the crime lab or from
the crime lab?
Mr. POE. I couldn't swear to it. I believe Pete Barnes, but I wouldn't
swear to it.
Mr. BALL. Did you talk to any people there?
Mr. POE. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Who?
Mr. POE. Talked to Mrs. Markham.
Mr. BALL. Did you talk to the two Davis girls?
Mr. POE. I talked to one of them, but I can't recall talking to two
Davis girls.
Mr. BALL. Do you remember what a Detective Dhority there at the scene
did?
Mr. POE. I remember Detective Leavelle at the scene.
Mr. BALL. Leavelle?
Mr. POE. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Did the Davis girls give you anything? Either one of the
Davis girls hand you anything?
Mr. POE. She give me the same general description of the suspect as
Mrs. Markham.
Mr. BALL. What was that?
Mr. POE. White male, and in his early 20's, around 5'7" or 8", about
145 pounds, and I believe she said had on a white jacket.
Mr. BALL. There is a--off the record.
(Discussion off the record.)
Mr. BALL. We have here a broadcast by Walker. Do you know Walker?
Mr. POE. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Was Walker there at the scene?
Mr. POE. Yes, sir; he came by the scene after I got there.
Mr. BALL. What is his full name?
Mr. POE. I don't know. I want to say C. T., but I am not positive on
that.
