United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. DANIELS. He was standing right in the middle of the entrance there.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I'm going to mark on Exhibit 5324 a position which I
am going to call "1" and I am putting a circle on it and I'm going to
draw a line, and then I'm going to put "First position of Daniels," is
that about correct?
Mr. DANIELS. Yes, that's about correct.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I'm going to mark a position called "2" and I'm going
to draw a line, and I'm going to mark it "position of Vaughn when
Daniels was in position number "1", and ask you if that is correct?
Mr. DANIELS. That's right.
Mr. HUBERT. And as you said, he recognized you and you recognized him?
Mr. DANIELS. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. And you looked down?
Mr. DANIELS. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Then what did you do?
Mr. DANIELS. I stepped back over to the bannister and----
Mr. HUBERT. You mean back towards the Western Union?
Mr. DANIELS. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you ever go on the other side of the Main Street ramp?
Mr. DANIELS. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Towards Harwood?
Mr. DANIELS. No--at no time--I never did.
Mr. HUBERT. When you say you went towards the bannister, were you on
the inside of the bannister, that is to say, between the bannister and
the ramp, or on the Western Union side of it?
Mr. DANIELS. You mean after I got back to it?
Mr. HUBERT. Yes.
Mr. DANIELS. Yes; I got--I went back to it and stood on the Western
Union side and just propped my foot up on the end of it.
Mr. HUBERT. You were then facing toward Harwood Street?
Mr. DANIELS. Correct.
Mr. HUBERT. More or less?
Mr. DANIELS. Correct.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you move out of that position at all?
Mr. DANIELS. Well, yes; during the time I was there I moved several
times, but it was all right around in that area there.
Mr. HUBERT. But did you ever go to the Harwood Street side of the Main
Street ramp?
Mr. DANIELS. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I am going to draw it lightly first so we can get it
straight--if I draw an area like so--would it be fair to say that you
were at all times that you are going to testify to later, within that
area, except when you left?
Mr. DANIELS. Now, what is this here--is this the bannister here?
Mr. HUBERT. No; this is the measuring line, this doesn't actually show
the bannister.
Mr. DANIELS. The bannister come right around in here--I was always
right in this area right in here.
Mr. HUBERT. So, we will draw a circle like that.
Mr. DANIELS. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. I am drawing a larger circle in which I am putting the
number "3", drawing a line out and saying "Area in which Daniels was
after he left position '1' and until shooting." Right?
Mr. DANIELS. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I understand, of course, that you might have moved
around in that area, but substantially that's what it was?
Mr. DANIELS. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. And it was on the Western Union side of the little concrete
or marble ramp that comes out?
Mr. DANIELS. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. And you are telling me that you never did go on the Harwood
Street side thereafter?
