(Instrument marked by the reporter as "Studebaker Exhibit E," for
identification.)
Mr. BALL. This is a picture of the fifth and sixth floor of the Texas
School Book Depository taken by a photographer right after shots were
fired at President Kennedy.
Can you tell me whether or not the Rolling Readers box you identified
in Exhibit A is shown in that picture?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Where?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. That's the top corner.
Mr. BALL. Where?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. That's this corner right here.
Mr. BALL. Let's put a circle around that so we can identify that.
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Have you got a ballpoint pen?
(Witness Studebaker marks the instrument referred to as requested by
Counsel Ball.)
Mr. BALL. The circle surrounds that box, is that correct?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. There is another box shown in Exhibit E here over to the
right of the window as you stand looking out of the window.
Mr. STUDEBAKER. It would be these boxes back over in here--it would be
the top of those boxes.
Mr. BALL. How far were they away from the window?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. I would have to look at the measurements--I have the
measurements down here. This is the box you see right there, in that
picture. You see, these boxes were stacked all up on top of each one.
Mr. BALL. You are referring to Exhibit A?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Exhibit A.
Mr. BALL. And it is the row of boxes?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Behind this window--that's the top of that box--that's
all it is.
Mr. BALL. It is the top of a box that is shown in this picture?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes.
Mr. BALL. And they were set back from the window 2 or 3 feet, were they?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes, they were about 18 inches is all that was.
Mr. BALL. Let's make two circles--one circle around the top of the
Rolling Readers and one circle around the top of the other box. So, the
people who read this can understand it, make the Rolling Readers circle
an "X" circle and mark it out here--mark "X" and the other circle a "Y"
circle.
(Witness Studebaker marked the exhibit referred to as requested by
Counsel Ball.)
Mr. BALL. Now, the Rolling Readers box, which is shown in the "X"
circle on this Exhibit E, where was that with reference to the window
sill itself?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Sitting right on the sill.
Mr. BALL. And the box that is shown in the picture as around the "Y"
circle of Exhibit E, that was how far from the window itself?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Approximately 18 inches from the inside brick of the
window.
Mr. BALL. And that little aisleway is shown on Exhibits A and B?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes, on A and B.
Mr. BALL. Now, did you at any time see any paper sack around there?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Where?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Storage room there--in the southeast corner of the
building--folded.
Mr. BALL. In the southeast corner of the building?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. It was a paper--I don't know what it was.
Mr. BALL. And it was folded, you say?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Where was it with respect to the three boxes of which the top
two were Rolling Readers?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Directly east.
Mr. BALL. There is a corner there, isn't it?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes, sir; in the southeast corner.
Mr. BALL. It was in the southeast corner?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. I drew that box in for somebody over at the FBI that
said you wanted it. It is in one of those pictures--one of the shots
after the duplicate shot.
