Mr. SURREY. Not immediately; no. We talked. I would say within 2 or 3
minutes.
Mr. JENNER. But you did not go into any other room? That is what I am
getting at first. You went outside first?
Mr. SURREY. I don't recall if we went in the other room then or later
on.
Mr. JENNER. When you say the other room, it is the room opposite the
one and to the left of the one shown on your diagram----
Mr. SURREY. As I recall, I merely looked around the separation here
when they said that the bullet came clear through into the other room.
Mr. JENNER. Who said that?
Mr. SURREY. One of the policemen.
Mr. JENNER. And did you go around and look then?
Mr. SURREY. I just looked around the doorway; yes.
Mr. JENNER. What did you find when you looked around--what did you see?
Mr. SURREY. I saw these books stacked, as shown in this picture.
Mr. JENNER. Identify the picture, please.
Mr. SURREY. Exhibit No. 1009.
Mr. JENNER. Had--you mentioned a bullet as having been found.
Mr. SURREY. Yes, the policeman said he had found that bullet, on top of
the packages.
Mr. JENNER. Shown in Exhibit No. 1009?
Mr. SURREY. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Was that portion of the bullet exhibited to you on that
occasion?
Mr. SURREY. No.
Mr. JENNER. You did not see it?
Mr. SURREY. No.
Mr. JENNER. Was the statement that the bullet had been found on the
opposite side of that wall made in the presence of General Walker?
Mr. SURREY. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. What did General Walker say when that statement was made in
his presence, if anything?
Mr. SURREY. I don't recall that he made any statement.
Mr. JENNER. Did he say anything about where the spent bullet had been
found?
Mr. SURREY. Not at that time, no. Not to me.
Mr. JENNER. Well, did he say it to an officer in your presence?
Mr. SURREY. Not that I recall.
Mr. JENNER. Was it uttered by him at all in your presence on that
evening?
Mr. SURREY. Not that I recall.
Mr. JENNER. That is, that the spent bullet had been found on the
opposite side of the wall next to which he had been sitting?
Mr. SURREY. No; I think the policeman said it, and that is all that was
said.
Mr. JENNER. But it was said in General Walker's presence?
Mr. SURREY. Yes; it was.
Mr. JENNER. What did the policeman say?
Mr. SURREY. He said the bullet went clean through the wall and they
found it laying on the packages in the other room.
Mr. JENNER. Did he say they found it or "I found it"?
Mr. SURREY. He said, "I found it" as I recall.
Mr. JENNER. Proceed in your chronology, please.
Mr. SURREY. That is all there was to it. Then he started getting calls
from newsmen, and newsmen coming to the door.
Mr. JENNER. First, you went out and looked around the premises.
Mr. SURREY. Yes; but it was quite dark at this time, and they said, "We
will come back in the morning."
Mr. JENNER. I should have asked you this. Perhaps I just assumed it.
Was it dark when you arrived at General Walker's home?
Mr. SURREY. Yes; it was.
Mr. JENNER. When does it get dark in Dallas, Tex., in this area in the
spring?
Mr. SURREY. I would say 7.
Mr. JENNER. Do you have daylight saving time in Dallas?
Mr. SURREY. No; we don't.
Mr. JENNER. And you are on what time?
Mr. SURREY. Central standard.
Mr. JENNER. Central standard time?
Mr. SURREY. Yes.
