Mr. HOLLAND. His wife. And about that time----

Mr. STERN. Was looking in a southern direction?

Mr. HOLLAND. In the southern direction.

Mr. STERN. South side of Elm Street?

Mr. HOLLAND. And about that time he went over like that [indicating],

and put his hand up, and she was still looking off, as well as I could

tell.

Mr. STERN. Now, when you say, "he went like that," you leaned forward

and raised your right hand?

Mr. HOLLAND. Pulled forward and hand just stood like that momentarily.

Mr. STERN. With his right hand?

Mr. HOLLAND. His right hand; and that was the first report that I heard.

Mr. STERN. What did it sound like?

Mr. HOLLAND. Well, it was pretty loud, and naturally, underneath

this underpass here it would be a little louder, the concussion from

underneath it, it was a pretty loud report, and the car traveled a

few yards, and Governor Connally turned in this fashion, like that

[indicating] with his hand out, and another report.

Mr. STERN. With his right hand out?

Mr. HOLLAND. Turning to his right.

Mr. STERN. To his right?

Mr. HOLLAND. And another report rang out and he slumped down in his

seat, and about that time Mrs. Kennedy was looking at these girls over

here [indicating]. The girls standing--now one of them was taking a

picture, and the other one was just standing there, and she turned

around facing the President and Governor Connally. In other words, she

realized what was happening, I guess.

Now, I mean, that was apparently that--she turned back around, and by

the time she could get turned around he was hit again along in--I'd say

along in here [indicating].

Mr. STERN. How do you know that? Did you observe that?

Mr. HOLLAND. I observed it. It knocked him completely down on the

floor. Over, just slumped completely over. That second----

Mr. STERN. Did you hear a third report?

Mr. HOLLAND. I heard a third report and I counted four shots and

about the same time all this was happening, and in this group of

trees--[indicating].

Mr. STERN. Now, you are indicating trees on the north side of Elm

Street?

Mr. HOLLAND. These trees right along here [indicating].

Mr. STERN. Let's mark this Exhibit C and draw a circle around the trees

you are referring to.
