(Testimony of Sterling Charles Wood)

Mr. Liebeler.
Did you see him go?
Mr. Wood.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
How did he go?
Mr. Wood.
He left with a man in a newer model car.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you see the model?
Mr. Wood.
No, I didn't. They went into the parking lot. They went around and I heard the car door slam and they took off, but it was a newer model.
Mr. Liebeler.
What kind of car?
Mr. Wood.
It was a Ford, if I remember.
Mr. Liebeler.
About what year would you say?
Mr. Wood.
I don't remember. I just knew it was a newer model car.
Mr. Liebeler.
Was it a convertible or station wagon?
Mr. Wood.
It was a hardtop.
Mr. Liebeler.
A hardtop?
Mr. Wood.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
About this other. fellow that this guy was with, was he a big man or just----
Mr. Wood.
About the same size this man was.
Mr. Liebeler.
How tall would you say this man was?
Mr. Wood.
Oh, about 5'9''.
Mr. Liebeler.
About 5'9"?
Mr. Liebeler.
Now the FBI talked to you about this once before or a couple of times, didn't they?
Mr. Wood.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did the FBI ask you now how this fellow left the range?
Mr. Wood.
What do you mean by that?
Mr. Liebeler.
Did he ask you, did he go and get in a car or did he leave with somebody else?
Mr. Wood.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you remember them asking you this?
Mr. Wood.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you remember what you told him?
Mr. Wood.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
What did you tell him?
Mr. Wood.
I told him they left in a newer model car. He had to go around through the main office because that was 30 yards down and he had to come around and he left in a newer model car with this man, and he wasn't driving.
Mr. Liebeler.
That the man who you saw firing was not driving?
Mr. Wood.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you tell the FBI what kind of car it was?
Mr. Wood.
I think I told him, I am pretty sure it was a Ford. That is what I remember, because I like Fords and I remember what a Ford looks like.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you tell the FBI that this fellow who you saw shooting this rifle left with another man?
Mr. Wood.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
You are pretty clear about that?
Mr. Wood.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
And you also told that the fellow you saw shooting the rifle wasn't driving the car, is that right?
Mr. Wood.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now later on .the next week after the President was assassinated, did you see a picture of this man or observe his picture on television or the radio or newspaper, or see him in any other way?
Mr. Wood.
Are you talking about Oswald?
Mr. Liebeler.
The man that was firing at the rifle range?
Mr. Wood.
That is what made me notice him.
Mr. Liebeler.
Tell us about that.
Mr. Wood.
The man out at the rifle range had a mean, stern face. You could tell he was a cold man, and that is what made me look at him more than I did anybody else. So when I saw the picture on television that night, I was sure it was him.
