(Testimony of Amos Lee Euins)
Mr. Euins.
January 10, 1948.
Mr. Specter.
January 10, 1948?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
And are you a school boy at the present time?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
What school do you go to?
Mr. Euins.
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Mr. Specter.
What grade are you in at that school?
Mr. Euins.
The ninth.
Mr. Specter.
Do you live with your parents, Amos?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
How is your health generally?
Mr. Euins.
I guess it is all right.
Mr. Specter.
How are your eyes?
Mr. Euins.
They are all right.
Mr. Specter.
Can you see good at a distance?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, I can see good at a distance, but I can't see at real close range.
Mr. Specter.
Are you able to read without glasses?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
You don't use glasses for any purposes, then?
Mr. Euins.
No, sir.
Mr. Specter.
When you say you have trouble at close range, just what do you mean by that?
Mr. Euins.
You know, like I put something on real close.
Mr. Specter.
Indicating about 4 or 5 inches from your eyes?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir. And then they kind of get dim. But on a long scene, I can see good.
Mr. Specter.
How are your grades in school, Amos?
Mr. Euins.
They are all right.
Mr. Specter.
Are they better than average, or what?
Mr. Euins.
They are about average.
Mr. Specter.
All right.
Going back to November 22, 1963, that is last year, Amos, do you recall what you were doing early on that morning?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir. When I first got up, I went to school. Then about 11:30, well, the teachers called us and told us the ones that wanted to go downtown to see the President come down to the office and get an excuse and they could go. So I went down to the office, and I got an excuse, so I went downtown.
Mr. Specter.
And what time did you leave school?
Mr. Euins.
11:30.
Mr. Specter.
And where did you go from your school?
Mr. Euins.
Downtown.
Mr. Specter.
What part of downtown?
Mr. Euins.
Right over by the county jail.
Mr. Specter.
Do you know the names of those streets, Amos?
Mr. Euins.
No, sir.
Mr. Specter.
If I told you they were Elm and Houston, would that help your memory as to what the names of those streets were?
Mr. Euins.
It was right by the freeway.
Mr. Specter.
All right. Let me show you a photograph, Amos, which is on a document I have marked as Commission Exhibit No. 365.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 365 for identification.)
Mr. Specter.
Take just a minute and look at that, and see if you can recognize where that is.
Mr. Euins.
This is going across the railroad tracks, back up to here right here at the corner is the Book Depository Building.
Mr. Specter.
That is the Book Depository Building, you say?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
All right.
