(Testimony of Sterling Charles Wood)

Mr. Liebeler.
It didn't get bigger at the forward end?
Mr. Wood.
No I didn't get that good a glance, but what I saw is what I told you.
Mr. Liebeler.
All right, you are pretty sure in your own mind that that was Lee Oswald that you saw at the rifle range?
Mr. Wood.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know Kenney Longley?
Mr. Wood.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Was he out there that day?
Mr. Wood.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did he see this guy?
Mr. Wood.
I don't know if he saw him or not.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you talk to him about it?
Mr. Wood.
Yes, sir; I think I did because I was standing, he was waiting in a booth to shoot. They all were filled up, and he stood back there and was noticing it, too. He noticed the fire coming out of the gun.
Mr. Liebeler.
Well, now, have you talked to Kenney Longley about this fellow at the rifle range since the assassination?
Mr. Wood.
I haven't seen him.
Mr. Liebeler.
Was there anybody else out there at the range that day that you knew?
Mr. Wood.
A friend of mine, Charles McDowell, but he was busy gathering shells.
Mr. Liebeler.
And he didn't see this guy, as far as you know?
Mr. Wood.
I don't know if he saw him. I don't think so. Maybe he did.
Mr. Liebeler.
Have you talked to McDowell about it since the assassination?
Mr. Wood.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you ask McDowell whether he saw this fellow?
Mr. Wood.
No, sir; but I am pretty sure, because he was right next to him, and he was down under the booth gathering shells.
Mr. Liebeler.
You said that you have talked to McDowell about this guy at the rifle range?
Mr. Wood.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
What did you talk to him about?
Mr. Wood.
I talked to him about, I told him that very same night I talked to my daddy, and I called him on the phone and told him that I saw that man out there, and we talked about the President's death, and that was all. He said he remembered him, too, I think.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you tell him that you thought that the fellow at the rifle range was Oswald?
Mr. Wood.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
What did he say?
Mr. Wood.
he didn't know, and he wasn't too sure, but he wasn't as close as I was to him.
Mr. Liebeler.
Where does this fellow live?
Mr. Wood.
McDowell?
Mr. Liebeler.
Yes.
Mr. Wood.
Marsalis, the first street over from where I do. I don't know the address.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, Sterling, I don't think I have any more questions that I can think of right now, but I want to say this: If you can think of anything else about this fellow that I haven't asked you about, or that you think you should toll me, I want you to toll me now so we can get it on the record.
Mr. Wood.
well, I remember we went down to look at our target, and he left after I did. Because I-went down there real quick and I remember looking at his, and as I was leaving, he came down to look at his target and was looking at how accurate it was, and that is about all I have to tell you.
Mr. Liebeler.
He was a pretty good shot?
Mr. Wood.
He was the most accurate of all the targets that I noticed.
Mr. Liebeler.
Okay, Sterling, I want to thank you very much. You have been very helpful. I hope we weren't too hard on you. The Commission wants you to know that it appreciates the cooperation you have given to us.
