(Testimony of Carlos Bringuier)
Mr. Liebeler.
that is one of the pictures or a picture like the one the Secret Service showed to you.
Mr. Bringuier.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
[Exhibiting photograph to witness.] I show you another picture, which has previously been marked "Pizzo Exhibit 453-B."
Mr. Bringuier.
[Indicating.] See this guy, see this Japanese? He is from the Kasuga Co. here in New Orleans. He had the office in International Trade Mart.
Mr. Liebeler.
And you pointed to the person standing immediately behind and to Oswald's right with his hands up behind his head?
Mr. Bringuier.
[Demonstrating.] That is right.
Mr. Liebeler.
And that is on Exhibit 453-A. Now do you recognize the person with the "X" over his head?
Mr. Bringuier.
Yes, sir; that was Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now there is a person standing to Oswald's left wearing a white shirt and facing the same direction that Oswald was facing, and I will indicate that person with a pen mark on the picture. [Marking photograph.] I have drawn an arrow pointing to the person to which I refer, and I ask you if you recognize that person.
Mr. Bringuier.
No; I don't recognize him. I believe that this is one of the pictures that I saw before, but I don't recognize him. For me, he looked like as a Latin American.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now in the far foreground of this picture, there is a man who has been marked with a green mark, just one mark, and we are referring at this point to Exhibit 453-A. Do you recognize that person?
Mr. Bringuier.
No, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Is that another one of the individuals to which you referred as having a Latin-type complexion, or is it not?
Mr. Bringuier.
No, sir. I believe no; this is not the one that I said.
Mr. Liebeler.
I have one other picture here of this scene which has not previously been marked, and I will show that picture to you and ask you if you can identify anybody in that picture with the exception of Oswald, of course.
[Exhibiting photograph to witness.]
Mr. Bringuier.
The only one that I could recognize here is Oswald.
Mr. Liebeler.
And he is the person with the "Hands Off Cuba"?
Mr. Bringuier.
"Hands Off Cuba" leaflets in his hand, the first one in front, just in the middle of the picture.
Mr. Liebeler.
[Marking photograph.] I have marked the picture I just referred to as "Exhibit No. 1" to your deposition.
Mr. Bringuier.
Do you want that I sign the picture?
Mr. Liebeler.
Yes. Would you initial the picture for identification purposes?
(The witness complied.)
Mr. Liebeler.
Thank you.
Mr. Bringuier.
You want that I sign these too?
Mr. Liebeler.
No. We have identified those as Pizzo Exhibits 453-A and 453-B, and you have noted that they are----
Mr. Bringuier.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
I thought you mentioned that there were two different people that appeared to you to be Latin people.
Mr. Bringuier.
Sure. This one that I see here [indicating], this is the one looked like to me a Latin, but, if I am not wrong, somebody showed me another picture where is another guy distributing the leaflets. I believe so.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you think that was a Secret Service man or an FBI agent? Do you know?
Mr. Bringuier.
I think that was a Secret Service man. Maybe I am wrong. I saw those days a lot of pictures; but--let me tell you something else: If my opinion is not wrong, if I am not mistaken this moment, I think that the other man was maybe in some kind of Bermuda shorts or something like that.
Mr. Liebeler.
I don't have any pictures in my possession showing that. The Commission has requested the actual film, the TV film itself, to be delivered to will send you a picture of it.
