United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
I think that is a fair description of what's on this card [indicating].
Mr. ARNETT. Yes, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And you are now seated close enough to me now that you can
see it with your glasses on [indicating]?
Mr. ARNETT. Yes, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Mr. Davis, do you think that is a fair description of it?
Mr. DAVIS. Yes; I think that is a fair description of it.
Mr. ARNETT. Do you think I got anywhere close to it?
Mr. DAVIS. Yes; I think so.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I understand there was nobody standing behind you?
Mr. ARNETT. Not that I know.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was there anybody directly to your left?
Mr. ARNETT. To my left?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes; as you faced the direction that Lee Oswald was coming
from?
Mr. ARNETT. There was another reporter with a pencil and pad to my
left. Then I said Captain King and another man beyond him that I don't
know.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, were these people in the same line that Blackie
Harrison was in?
Mr. ARNETT. No, sir. They were in the line with me. Blackie Harrison
was in front of me.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, I am going to mark this "Dallas, Tex., Captain
Arnett, 3-25-64," and this is Exhibit 5034, and I am going to start
another one here.
All right. Now, Captain, I want you to put an "A" on this copy of the
map where you were standing, put an "A" where you were standing when
Oswald came out [indicating]?
Mr. ARNETT. Okay. Now, this is the brick building here. Now, I want to
be sure that I am looking at this right [indicating].
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
Mr. ARNETT. Okay. There was a news reporter [indicating].
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, put an "A" where you were standing.
Mr. ARNETT. [Indicating.]
Mr. GRIFFIN. All right. Now, put an H in the circle around it where
Blackie Harrison was standing.
Mr. ARNETT. [Indicating.]
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, who was the other officer that you said was to your
left?
Mr. ARNETT. A news reporter and Captain King, and I don't know where
this other one was.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Put a "K" where Captain King was standing, and put an "X"
where that newspaper reporter was.
Mr. ARNETT. [Indicating.]
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, was there anybody between Captain King and the
railing?
Mr. ARNETT. There was one person, but I couldn't tell you whether he
was in civilian clothes or who they were or anything about it.
Mr. GRIFFIN. All right. Put a question mark there. All right. You put a
question there.
Mr. ARNETT. Got it wrong, didn't I? [Indicating.]
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now you have changed it. You put a dot to your right where
there was a newsman?
Mr. ARNETT. Uh-huh [indicating].
Mr. GRIFFIN. Is this the man that had the microphone?
Mr. ARNETT. Yes, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was there anybody in front of that man?
Mr. ARNETT. Yes. They were lined up down this wall here. I don't know
whether there was anybody standing directly in front of him. I wouldn't
say [indicating].
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was there anybody directly to Blackie Harrison's left?
Mr. ARNETT. I would say they were.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You don't remember?
Mr. ARNETT. No, sir.
