Mr. DULLES. One question. This photograph was taken, though, several
weeks later, wasn't it?
Mr. KELLEY. On December 5.
Mr. DULLES. That was 2 weeks later.
Mr. KELLEY. Two weeks later; yes, sir.
Mr. DULLES. So the foliage would presumably be somewhat less in that
picture, would it not, than it was on November 22?
Mr. KELLEY. No; actually, the foliage hadn't changed very much even in
the latest tests we are making.
The CHAIRMAN. It was an evergreen?
Mr. KELLEY. It was an oak tree, Mr. Chief Justice, I have been told the
foliage doesn't change much during the year. They call it pine oak.
Some people call it a life oak. But the people down there I talked to
said it was called a pine oak.
Mr. SPECTER. And did you observe the foliage on the tree on May 24?
Mr. KELLEY. I did, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. And would you state the relative condition of that
foliage, as contrasted with the photographs you have before you taken
on December 5?
Mr. KELLEY. It was very similar, practically the same.
Mr. SPECTER. And the description which you have just given applies to
a large oak tree which intervened between a point on the sixth floor
of the Texas School Book Depository Building and any automobile which
would have been driven down the center lane of Elm Street in a westerly
direction?
Mr. KELLEY. Yes, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. Mr. Chief Justice, the purpose of having Inspector Kelley
testify was just to set the scene. That completes our questioning of
him.
The CHAIRMAN. Very well. Thank you, Inspector Kelley.
Mr. SPECTER. The next witness will be Inspector Gauthier.
