Mr. GRIFFIN. Would you place “X’s” on the map where you think you saw
newspaper people.
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Looked to me all along right in here [indicating]
because as soon as we came out this door, well, the--this bunch here
just moved in on us.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I see. You want to--will you put those “X’s”? You want to
make a little note, “Newspapermen,” or “news”----
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Like I say, they moved in towards us and had those
long-looking microphones and cramming them over there in Oswald’s face.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Were there any police officers at the point where you have
marked those “X’s”, holding them back?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. It could have been. I didn’t recognize them. Very well
could have been.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Go ahead.
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Like I say, we came out there. They crammed those
mikes over there, and we had to slow up for just a second, because
they was backing this car into position. It was supposed to have been
in position when we got there, but it wasn’t there, so, we had to
pause, or slow down for the car to come on back. And, of course, this
pause there--Captain Fritz opened the door of the car. He walked up to
the door there. I don’t say he opened the door or not. I didn’t see
him open the door. He just walked up to it and then I saw a blur or
something and I couldn’t tell what it was. I couldn’t tell, and I heard
what sounded like a shot.
