(Testimony of Charles Oliver Arnett)
Mr. Griffin.
You were able to see yourself in the magazines ?
Mr. Arnett.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
And is that how you were able to distinguish--
Mr. Arnett.
No, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Those people ?
Mr. Arnett.
Huh, uh. This letter that was written the 27th was before films or magazines, either one. Now, do the magazine shots which you have seen, in which you have seen yourself, do they show the man to your left, who you thought was a newsman ?
Mr. Arnett.
No, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Do they show Captain King?
Mr. Arnett.
No, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
How is it that just you come through on these magazine shots?
Mr. Arnett.
Well, I don't know how they come through, but the Dallas Morning News and the Times Herald that had the big complete picture, all the front page was completely covered, I am not in it. Now, this newsman that was on my right, it shows the microphone but it doesn't show me at all.
Mr. Griffin.
What magazine did you see yourself in ?
Mr. Arnett.
Four Dark Days in History, Four Days, Kennedy From Childhood to---I don't remember just exactly what it did say on that.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you happen to remember in Four Dark Days, what page your picture was on?
Mr. Arnett.
No, sir. But if you got one I can show it to you, but it's not before the shooting, no.
Mr. Griffin.
Oh, this is the shot that's taken after the shooting?
Mr. Arnett.
Shows me scuffling with--
Mr. Griffin.
But you haven't seen a picture of yourself standing there in that line, have you?
Mr. Arnett.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
All right. Now, where did you see that picture ?
Mr. Arnett.
In Four Days.
Mr. Griffin.
In Four Days you saw that?
Mr. Arnett.
Yes, sir. And it didn't show anybody standing beside me, either.
Mr. Griffin.
Does it show Blackie Harrison in that picture?
Mr. Arnett.
I believe it does.
Mr. Griffin.
All right, there is only one picture of you in Four Days?
Mr. Arnett.
In Four Days?
Mr. Griffin.
Yes.
Mr. Arnett.
No. There is three.
Mr. Griffin.
Three pictures of you?
Mr. Arnett.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Are they all on the same page?
Mr. Arnett.
I don't remember for sure whether they are on the same page or not, but they are in the same connection.
Mr. Griffin.
They are all in connection with the shooting?
Mr. Arnett.
Do you want me to tell you what they are?
Mr. Griffin.
Yes.
Mr. Arnett.
One of them shows me standing like I told you. The next one shows me in the scuffle with Jack Ruby from here up, doesn't show any other part (indicating).
Mr. Griffin.
Just shows the top of your head?
Mr. Arnett.
From right here up. The next one shows the top of my cap, from my back, following Oswald out to the ambulance. That's it [indicating].
Mr. Griffin.
All right. There is only one that shows you standing there?
Mr. Arnett.
That's the only one I have seen.
Mr. Griffin.
Does it show anything but your rice?
Mr. Arnett.
From about right here up [indicating].
Mr. Griffin.
About the middle of your chest up?
Mr. Arnett.
Something like that. One in Four Days in History shows me standing looking down like this, and L. C. Graves is wrestling with the gun, before I took hold of Ruby.
