(Testimony of Roy H. , Special Agent, Kellerman)
Mr. Specter.
they have an inaccurate day or your recollection is inaccurate as to some of the things you might have told them. So, my prefatory question would be whether that is an accurate statement and is something you told them at some time.
Mr. Kellerman.
I don't believe I did. I think I will stand on my original statement.
Representative Ford.
The original statement you made here today?
Mr. Kellerman.
Yes, sir; very much.
Mr. Specter.
So that the statement I just read to you, so far as your best--
Mr. Kellerman.
I can't--
Mr. Specter.
So far as your best testimony is at this time, it was simply not made by you on November 22?
Mr. Kellerman.
That is right, sir.
Mr. Specter.
All right, now. Was that statement I just read to you, the short one about your turn, to the best of your recollection at this moment, did you ever make that statement to Special Agents O'Neill and/or Sibert?
Mr. Kellerman.
Mr. Specter, everybody I have talked to I have always turned to the right when I first heard the noise. I turned to my left to view the people in my back seat because it is a more comfortable position. So I don't think the turning is correct, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Would you say the report is incorrect?
Mr. Kellerman.
That is right.
Representative Ford.
May I ask--you have viewed these colored motion pictures which were taken during the assassination. Have you looked at those to see what your own actions were during this period of time?
Mr. Kellerman.
Yes, sir.
Representative Ford.
Do they coincide with what you have testified to here today?
Mr. Kellerman.
They certainly do.
Mr. Specter.
I now hand you a photograph marked Commission Exhibit No. 352, and ask you if you can tell us what that picture represents?
Mr. Kellerman.
Yes, sir; this was the rear seat of the President's car, sir, after all the occupants were removed.
Mr. Specter.
And when did the rear seat of the President's car look like the picture 352?
Mr. Kellerman.
After all the occupants were removed on the 22d of November.
Mr. Specter.
When the car was parked at Parkland Hospital?
Mr. Kellerman.
I don't know where this picture was taken, sir. This could have been taken in the White House garage.
Mr. Specter.
Yes; but aside from where the picture was taken, is that the way the car looked at the time it was at Parkland Hospital after President Kennedy and Governor Connally were removed from the car?
Mr. Kellerman.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Will you describe for the written record very briefly what this picture shows?
Mr. Kellerman.
The picture shows the complete rear seat of the Presidential limousine.
Mr. Specter.
What, if anything, is on the rear seat?
Mr. Kellerman.
On the seat part of this car is splattered with blood; there are a few petals of flowers, and the back seat cushion part is pretty well bloodied up.
Mr. Specter.
I move for the introduction in evidence of Commission Exhibit No. 352.
Representative Ford.
So admitted.
(The photograph referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 352 for identification, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Specter.
I now hand you, through the Chairman, Commission Exhibit No. 353, move its admission into evidence, and ask you to tell us what this depicts.
Mr. KELLERMAN: This is the same Presidential vehicle after the occupants have been removed from the rear seat. It shows the--a goodly amount of blood that had remained on the cushion and back part of the seat and also little flower petals.
