(Testimony of Amos Lee Euins)
Mr. Specter.
Now, mark the windows where you saw those boxes, Amos. Start off with--mark the window "Y" where you saw boxes.
(Witness marking.)
Mr. Specter.
You made a figure 9, as I read it, on the two places you saw in the windows.
EUINS. Yes, sir: in this half.
Mr. Specter.
Now, were there boxes in the window marked "X"?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir. There were about two or three of them right along--
Mr. Specter.
Indicating the middle dividing line there?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Was that window marked "X" opened, Amos, or closed?
Mr. Euins.
It was open.
Mr. Specter.
How far open was it?
Mr. Euins.
About that high.
Mr. Specter.
Indicating about 19 inches?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
And was the window in the other double window immediately next to the window marked "X" open or closed?
Mr. Euins.
The top window, on the sixth floor?
Mr. Specter.
I am referring to the window right next to it.
Mr. Euins.
No, sir; it was not open.
Mr. Specter.
Amos, when you heard the first shot, did you have any reaction or impression as to where the noise was coming from at that exact time?
Mr. Euins.
No, sir; not at the exact time. You know, because everybody else started looking around. So I just started looking around, thinking it was a backfire, just like everyone else.
Mr. Specter.
Did you look up towards that window before the second shot, or just when the second shot occurred?
Mr. Euins.
I think--just a little before, because as soon as I did, I looked at it--pow.
Mr. Specter.
You heard a pow?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Now, as you were watching and heard, did you have the impression that the noise you heard was coming from that rifle?
Mr. Euins.
No, sir; I didn't, because I wasn't thinking of the rifle at flint--you know, because it looked like a pipe at first.
Mr. Specter.
When you say the second--when you heard the second shot, when you say you were looking at the rifle, did you have the feeling that the noise came from the rifle when you heard the second shot, when you were looking at it?
Mr. Euins.
No, sir; I did not.
Mr. Specter.
Well, did you have any impression at all about where the noise was coming from?
Mr. Euins.
No, sir; not on the first shot.
Mr. Specter.
How about the second shot?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Where did you think the noise was coming from on the second shot?
Mr. Euins.
I seen him shoot on the second shot.
Mr. Specter.
So you thought the noise was coming from the rifle on the second shot?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Chairman.
Did you say you thought, or saw?
Mr. Euins.
I saw him shoot the second shot.
Mr. Specter.
How high were those boxes behind him, Amos?
Mr. Euins.
They was probably about 2 feet high stacked in the back of him.
Mr. Specter.
Amos, were you questioned later by the FBI?
Mr. Euins.
Yes. sir; over in the office.
Mr. Specter.
How many times were you questioned by the FBI?
Mr. Euins.
Oh, once.
Mr. Specter.
Do you remember when that was?
