Mr. DILLARD. There was never any question in my mind that there was
more than or less than three explosions which were all heavy rifle
fire, in my opinion, of the same rifle. The same rifle fired three
shots.
Mr. BALL. Do you still have the two negatives?
Mr. DILLARD. Yes; of these [indicating]?
Mr. BALL. Yes.
Mr. DILLARD. Yes.
Mr. BALL. You have them in your possession?
Mr. DILLARD. At the Dallas News; they're in a box kept locked in the
managing editor's office.
Mr. BALL. Suppose we could do this. I have pictures here which you can
identify but perhaps it might be a little closer to the source if we do
this. Could you make me up two prints for your deposition from those
negatives?
Mr. DILLARD. Well, I guess so.
Mr. BALL. Off the record.
(Off-record discussion.)
Mr. BALL. You will endorse your signature on each copy as being a print
made from your negatives, is that satisfactory?
Mr. DILLARD. Suits me; I could get it notarized.
Mr. BALL. You don't need to do that because we can attach it as a copy
to this deposition.
Mr. DILLARD. I could sign these; of course, you want that other.
Mr. BALL. We have two here. First of all, you made one picture with a
wide lens?
Mr. DILLARD. Yes.
Mr. BALL. And you made a picture with a short lens?
Mr. DILLARD. Long lens--short and wide are the same.
Mr. BALL. A short, wide lens and one long lens. Now, I show you two
pictures and I mark one "A" and mark one "B." Look them over and tell
me whether or not those are prints from the picture that you made that
day.
Mr. DILLARD. These are prints from one of the negatives I made on
November 22.
Mr. BALL. And then you will furnish us two prints, one from each
negative which we will mark as "C" and "D" and you will initial them,
is that correct?
Mr. DILLARD. That is correct.
Mr. BALL. Do you mind initialing the "A" and "B" and we will make it
part of this deposition--just on the back?
Mr. DILLARD. One of them will be the same picture as these two. These
two are prints from one of my negatives.
Mr. BALL. That will be all right.
Mr. DILLARD. I have another negative.
Mr. BALL. Which you will make a print of?
Mr. DILLARD. If you wish.
Mr. BALL. Make up a print from each negative. Now, you made a statement
to Agent Keutzer of the Federal Bureau of Investigation on the 25th of
November 1963, didn't you, or thereabouts?
Mr. DILLARD. Yes.
Mr. BALL. And at that time, you told him that you first heard a noise
which sounded like a torpedo, didn't you?
