(Testimony of Floyd Guy Davis)

Mr. Davis.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
And Mr. Price was also there the same day?
Mr. Davis.
He said he was.
Mr. Liebeler.
He also indicated that he thinks one of those two gentlemen was Oswald?
Mr. Davis.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
You yourself had an opportunity to observe both of these gentlemen, did you not?
Mr. Davis.
Yes; I sure did.
Mr. Liebeler.
I want to show you some pictures which have been previously marked as Commission Exhibits Nos. 451, 453, 454, 455, and 456, and ask you if you recognize from these pictures the pictures of the individuals who were firing from booth No. 8, at your range on Sunday, November 17, 1963?
Mr. Davis.
He sure looks familiar, but I couldn't say for sure. It sure looks familiar. This would have been the taller of the two, and this is almost.
Mr. Liebeler.
You pointed to Commission Exhibit 451, and you think that gentleman resembles the taller of the two men that were firing from booth No. 8?
Mr. Davis.
Yes; he is about the same size. The face features, I seem to have seen them before, but as far as--it sure looks like him. I couldn't say definitely that it was him, but it sure looks a lot like him.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you see any resemblance between any of the pictures which I have shown and the shorter of the two men?
Mr. Davis.
The face on the other one, I couldn't say what it looked like. So many of these pictures of Lee Harvey Oswald have been shown to me, and they started showing me things about the time it all happened, and I would hate to say that it was him. But definitely this fellow, the taller of the two fellows was about his built. He looked like he is about my size. He may be a little bit shorter in those pictures.
Mr. Liebeler.
What about the facial features of the gentleman on 451?
Mr. Davis.
Like I say, the features of his face are familiar, they seem to be familiar to me, but as far as definitely saying that was the person out there I----
Mr. Liebeler.
You couldn't do that?
Mr. Davis.
No, sir; but it does look familiar, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
I show you next a photograph that has previously been marked Pizzo Exhibit 453-B, which is a photograph of several individuals, one of whom has been marked by a green marker, I ask you if that picture bears any resemblance to either of the two men you saw firing from booth No. 8, at your rifle range on Sunday, November 17?
Mr. Davis.
Like I said before I couldn't be too sure because I have saw so many pictures of this that look like Lee Harvey Oswald, that they get to running together with them when I get to thinking about them, and I would hate to say that it was, because I have saw pictures of him in all different forms, in the newspapers, in--and also some that the police have brought out there, and the Grand Prairie police brought them, and some of the FBI, and I would hate to say, because I was very much interested in the case at the time it did happen, because myself it was a blow to the business that I am in.
As far as someone with a high-powered rifle shooting the President like he did, I was afraid they were going to pass a bill which would stop that stuff, and it is like a hard blow to me.
Mr. Liebeler.
To your business at the range?
Mr. Davis.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did your business actually fall off after the assassination?
Mr. Davis.
It practically died on that thing. It just gradually--yesterday we had one person out there, compared to 80 and 90 when we first opened. Of course, they were in deer season. That had a lot to do with it.
Mr. Liebeler.
Have you ever been shown this picture that I just showed you before?
Mr. Davis.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
453-B?
Mr. Davis.
Not that particular shot.
