(Testimony of Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker)
Mr. Liebeler.
I show you a document, a picture which is a copy of Commission Exhibit No. 5 and ask you if you recognize the scene portrayed in that picture?
General WALKER. I recognize my house in this picture.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you recognize anything else? Specifically, I draw your attention to the automobile that is shown in there.
General WALKER. I do not recognize the car.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know Charles Klihr?
General WALKER. Would you spell it again?
Mr. Liebeler.
I will spell it right in just a minute. K-l-i-h-r. 2046 Rosebud Street, Irving, Tex. Do you know that man?
General WALKER. Not that spelling. I know a Charles Clyr. As I know the spelling, it is C-l-y-r.
Mr. Liebeler.
Does he live out in Irving?
General WALKER. I think he does.
Mr. Liebeler.
Would you recognize his address?
General WALKER. I wouldn't recognize his address. I don't recognize that address. That could or couldn't be it.
Mr. Liebeler.
How about that car, do you recognize that as his car?
General WALKER. I don't recognize that car.
Mr. Liebeler.
This gentleman that we may be talking about we may be talking about the same man, is a volunteer worker for you from time to time?
General WALKER. If it is the one I am referring to, he is in and out quite often, right. He and his wife have helped me quite a bit.
Mr. Liebeler.
But you aren't able to identify that car as being his?
General WALKER. No; I am not.
Mr. Liebeler.
Does that car appear to be a 1957 Chevrolet? Or aren't you able to tell by looking?
General WALKER. I am not able to tell. I am not very good on cars.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, you indicate that to the very far left of this photograph, Commission Exhibit No. 5, through these bushes there is a window, and that is the window through which the shot was fired, is that correct?
General WALKER. That is correct.
Mr. Liebeler.
That is the window immediately left of the gasmeter there as you look at the picture?
General WALKER. That is correct.
Mr. Liebeler.
You don't have any doubt that that is the back of your house?
General WALKER. None at all. That is the back of the house.
Mr. Liebeler.
You have never seen that picture before, have you?
General WALKER. No; I haven't.
Mr. Liebeler.
I show you a photograph which is a copy of Commission Exhibit No. 3. The photograph that I refer to is set forth in this copy, and I refer specifically to the one denominated P-1 and ask you if you recognize the scene portrayed therein.
General WALKER. Yes; I recognize that as the back of my house, a portion of it.
Mr. Liebeler.
I have another photograph I have ,marked Walker Exhibit No. 3, and I ask you to initial that, if you would, for the purpose of identification.
General WALKER (initials). Can I look at it?
Mr. Liebeler.
Yes, please. That is a picture of ¢he back of your, house, too, isn't it?
General WALKER. Yes; it is.
Mr. Liebeler.
I have shown you another picture which is Walker Exhibit No. 4, and I ask you to initial that, and ask you if that isn't in fact a picture of the alley behind your house.
General WALKER (initials). Yes; that is a picture of the alley looking south toward the same apartment building we referred to before, down to where the alley connects with Avondale showing The back fence and the entrance into my backyard. I believe the picture is taken at a different date from the other one we referred to, because the fence has been changed behind the house.
Mr. Liebeler.
That .apartment is completed in the picture?
