Warren Commission (15 of 26): Hearings Vol. XV (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. Now the north side of Commerce would be to the right of
Commerce or to the left, as you were going?
Mr. GOIN. As I were going, it would be to the left.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you park ahead or in back of the larger truck?
Mr. GOIN. The larger truck backed into the dock.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, was it ahead of you at that point, or
behind you?
Mr. GOIN. I don’t remember exactly whether I followed him or whether he
followed me.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, you parked on the same side of the street of Commerce
Street as the exit, is that correct?
Mr. GOIN. Yes; that is correct.
Mr. HUBERT. You did not park on the opposite side of the street where
the people were congregating, or did you?
Mr. GOIN. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Well now, when you parked there, did you ever move again
until ultimately you moved away after the shooting?
Mr. GOIN. No; not that I recall.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, your car was parked then past the Commerce
Street exit from Harwood Street and on the side of the Commerce Street
to your left, rather than the opposite side of Commerce Street, is that
correct?
Mr. GOIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. How far past the entrance were you parked, or exit rather?
Mr. GOIN. The exit, a couple of car lengths, I believe. I believe there
was a city or county car sitting behind us for a long time.
Mr. HUBERT. Was that a city or county car that was parked across the
exit and therefore immediately in front of the larger truck?
Mr. GOIN. I believe it was the car that backed in front of the armored
car.
Mr. HUBERT. That was the larger truck?
Mr. GOIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. About when, relative to the time you arrived, did this
other car park in front of the armored car?
Mr. GOIN. I can’t really give you an answer there, I am sorry.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you remember when the shot was fired? Did you hear any
shot?
Mr. GOIN. No; I did not.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you leave your car at all at any time?
Mr. GOIN. Yes; left the armored truck.
Mr. HUBERT. The small one?
Mr. GOIN. The small armored truck on, I think, a couple of occasions
and walked back to the back of the truck standing for a moment or for a
few minutes, and walking back and getting back in.
Mr. HUBERT. But you never left the immediate vicinity of the small
armored truck?
Mr. GOIN. No; I didn’t get other than just a few feet at the most from
the armored truck.
Mr. HUBERT. How did you first learn of the shooting?
Mr. GOIN. I don’t remember exactly. The commotion began with someone
trying to get the Ford sedan in front of our big armored truck out of
the way, and I don’t recall exactly from what source I learned the
actual shooting, or maybe just overheard loud conversations, because I
didn’t have any direct conversation with anyone there.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you remember seeing yourself, the police car coming from
around Harwood onto Commerce and backing so that it was placed in front
of the large armored car? Did you see that yourself?
Mr. GOIN. Would you explain again?
