United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. How do you happen to remember these people that you put on
the chart here?
Mr. ARNETT. Well, standing there with them, well----
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you see photographs, did you see movies of this after
Oswald was shot?
Mr. ARNETT. I have seen them; yes, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you see----
Mr. ARNETT. That didn't have any bearing on that.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Were you able to see yourself in those movies?
Mr. ARNETT. I am in some magazines.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You were able to see yourself in the magazines?
Mr. ARNETT. Yes, Sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And is that how you were able to distinguish----
Mr. ARNETT. No, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Those people?
Mr. ARNETT. Huh, uh. This letter that was written the 27th was before I
ever saw any films or magazines, either one.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, do the magazine shots which you have seen, in which
you have seen yourself, do they show the man to your left, who you
thought was a newsman?
Mr. ARNETT. No, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do they show Captain King?
Mr. ARNETT. No, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How is it that just you come through on these magazine
shots?
Mr. ARNETT. Well, I don't know how they come through, but the Dallas
Morning News and the Times Herald that had the big complete picture,
all the front page was completely covered, I am not in it. Now, this
newsman that was on my right, it shows the microphone but it doesn't
show me at all.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What magazine did you see yourself in?
Mr. ARNETT. Four Dark Days in History, Four Days, Kennedy From
Childhood to--I don't remember just exactly what it did say on that.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you happen to remember in Four Dark Days, what page
your picture was on?
Mr. ARNETT. No, sir. But if you got one I can show it to you, but it's
not before the shooting, no.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Oh, this is the shot that's taken after the shooting?
Mr. ARNETT. Shows me scuffling with----
Mr. GRIFFIN. But you haven't seen a picture of yourself standing there
in that line, have you?
Mr. ARNETT. Yes, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. All right. Now, where did you see that picture?
Mr. ARNETT. In Four Days.
Mr. GRIFFIN. In Four Days you saw that?
Mr. ARNETT. Yes, sir. And it didn't show anybody standing beside me,
either.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Does it show Blackie Harrison in that picture?
Mr. ARNETT. I believe it does.
Mr. GRIFFIN. All right, there is only one picture of you in Four Days?
Mr. ARNETT. In Four Days?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
Mr. ARNETT. No. There is three.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Three pictures of you?
Mr. ARNETT. Yes, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Are they all on the same page?
Mr. ARNETT. I don't remember for sure whether they are on the same page
or not, but they are in the same connection.
Mr. GRIFFIN. They are all in connection with the shooting?
Mr. ARNETT. Do you want me to tell you what they are?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
Mr. ARNETT. One of them shows me standing like I told you. The next one
shows me in the scuffle with Jack Ruby from here up, doesn't show any
other part (indicating).
