(Testimony of Sterling Charles Wood)

Mr. Liebeler.
Which one is that?
Mr. Wood.
That man right here.
Mr. Liebeler.
This one right here?
Mr. Wood.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Here is another picture just the same one as the one I showed you.
Mr. Wood.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
The man that you pointed out as being the individual that you saw at the rifle range has a green mark over his head..There are two different marks. It looks like an "X," but it is two marks as opposed to one mark over here.
Mr. Wood.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
And you say that is the man you saw at the rifle range?
Mr. Wood.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
I want to show you a picture that has been marked "Pizzo Exhibit 453-C," and ask you if that looks like the fellow you saw at the rifle range?
Mr. Wood.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Have you seen that picture before?
Mr. Wood.
No, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
One like it?
Mr. Wood.
No, sir; not unless it's been in the paper. I think there has been one like that in the paper.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did the FBI show you a picture of Oswald?
Mr. Wood.
They showed me a picture with his gun in his backyard.
Mr. Liebeler.
And you recognized that picture as being the man you saw at the rifle range?
Mr. Wood.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
I show you two pictures that •have been previously marked as Exhibits 3 and 4, on the deposition of Mr. Greener. Tell me whether that is the rifle the man had?
Mr. Wood.
It does look like the rifle, but the scope looks a little funny to me.
Mr. Liebeler.
What looks funny about the scope?
Mr. Wood.
Because I seem to remember when I got a glance, it seemed to get bigger at the end and get smaller as it went along.
Mr. Liebeler.
Would you say that is not the scope that was on the rifle?
Mr. Wood.
I am not too sure, but I would say that looks like a foreign made scope.
Mr. Liebeler.
The one in this picture does?
Mr. Wood.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
You are pretty sure in your own mind that the scope that was on the rifle at the range was not an American scope, is that correct?
Mr. Wood.
Yes; it looked Japanese.
Mr. Liebeler.
Sterling, you noticed how the sling is mounted on this rifle?
Mr. Wood.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
It is mounted on the side on the butt, is it not? And on the side of the rifle, also?
Mr. Wood.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Is that the way the sling was on the rifle that you saw at the rifle range?
Mr. Wood.
I am not too sure. It was either mounted underneath or on the side. I am not sure.
Mr. Liebeler.
You wouldn't remember one way or the other?
Mr. Wood.
I think it was mounted on the side. I am not too sure. I wouldn't want to be positive.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now do you remember that the FBI showed you a picture of a rifle?
Mr. Wood.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Is this the same picture?
Mr. Wood.
As I remember, it looks like the same picture.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you tell the FBI that the weapon in the picture that they showed you was not the one you observed out at the rifle range?
