Warren Commission (13 of 26): Hearings Vol. XIII (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. I am marking a document as follows to wit: “Dallas, Tex.,
March 25, 1954. Exhibit 5080, Deposition of Jimmy Turner,” and signing
it with my name and asking Mr. Turner to sign his name below that. Now,
Mr. Turner, using the chart which we have marked now as Exhibit 5080,
would you, sir, tell us of your activities on the morning of November
24, using a sequence of numbers placed in a circle as to each stopping
point, or object that you testify about.
Mr. TURNER. All right. Now, getting back, we had first placed the
camera in “1”, where I will mark “1” on this.
Mr. HUBERT. In the circle.
Mr. TURNER. In a circle. Now, this is a camera position. Can I make it
a box? We’ll keep the camera as a box and the circles as people.
Mr. HUBERT. That’s correct, but in each case put a numeral.
Mr. TURNER. Numeral.
Mr. HUBERT. In the circle, or box, and use the numerals in sequence.
Mr. TURNER. “No. 1,” would be our camera in our original position
before Chief Curry came down and talked to us about not having it in
that position. We had----
Mr. HUBERT. What time was that?
Mr. TURNER. Oh, it was approximately 9 to 10, that’s all I can say. I
have no recollection of the time. All right, and in position No. “1,”
we had stationed our camera. Chief Curry came out in a period of 9 to
10 and said, “Boys, you can’t leave the camera there. It’s going to be
in the way when they bring him out the door. Now, I want all you boys
to get a clean shot of it, so, I will get the cars moved out across the
railing.” So, we’ll number the rail “2.”
Mr. HUBERT. Yes. Put that in the circles, too.
Mr. TURNER. All right. No. “2” position here [indicating]. “We’ll move
the cars out from that location and you can set your cameras there, and
I will assure you that you will have a clean shot of the whole thing,”
meaning that we would have a good angle on him coming out of the jail,
and everything, so, we immediately rerun our camera cables across the
driveway up above, hung them up in the air conditioning, which is
position “3,” across--can I keep this “3” all the way through?
Mr. HUBERT. Yes.
Mr. TURNER. And, sir, we ran our camera cables back along the route of
No. “3.”
Mr. HUBERT. Let me interrupt you for a moment. Prior to this move, your
camera cables came down on the Harwood Street side of the ramp leading
to the Commerce Street----
Mr. TURNER. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. Right?
Mr. TURNER. In other words--I do not recognize this line here
[indicating], this line--this ramp--oh, this is the building. Oh,
this is the building overhang. Now, I know what that is. This is the
complete building that covers it.
Mr. HUBERT. Yes.
Mr. TURNER. All right.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, when you phoned that your cameras would have to be
across the ramp, you ran into the problem of your cables?
Mr. TURNER. That’s right.
