(Testimony of Robert Alan Surrey)
Mr. Jenner.
I show the witness Commission Exhibit No. 2, Item No. 7, subdivision item No. P-2. Do you see that, sir?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes; I do.
Mr. Jenner.
Examining the subitem, P-2, is the area depicted in that photograph to you?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes; it is. It is the alley in behind Mr. Walker's residence, looking west?
Mr. Jenner.
Looking west?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Would you be able to help us as to an estimate, perhaps from the nature of the foliage, and your familiarity with the Walker premises, as to when that photograph might have been taken, as to season of the year?
Mr. Surrey.
I would say late fall.
Mr. Jenner.
Could it have been the early spring, mid-March, for example? 1st of March, along in there?
Mr. Surrey.
It could have been; yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Either in the fall, when there is a deleafing or lack of foliage on trees, or the early spring?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
I show you what purports to be the same thing, also marked--it is a larger photograph--Commission Exhibit No. 2, Item No. 7. Directing your attention to the subdivision P-2 you have just testified about, are they photographs----
Mr. Surrey.
Basically the same thing. It looks like this one was taken a little closer to the ground.
Mr. Jenner.
When you say this one, you mean the larger of the two?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
On Commission Exhibit No. 3, Item 14, subitem P-l, directing your attention to that, you recognize that?
Mr. Surrey.
That is a picture of the back of the residence of 4011 Turtle Creek.
Mr. Jenner.
General Edwin Walker's home?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
I perhaps should have asked you this: You are familiar with the area surrounding General Walker's home?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes, I am.
Mr. Jenner.
You have been there a good many times, have you?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes, I have.
Mr. Jenner.
On all sides of the home?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And are you familiar with the inside of the home?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes, I am.
Mr. Jenner.
And have you worked there from time to time over the years?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
How long have you been associated with General Walker?
Mr. Surrey.
Since the beginning of his campaign, when that was--I think the spring--about 3 years now.
The Chairman.
What campaign is that?
Mr. Surrey.
When he ran for Governor of Texas.
Mr. Jenner.
That initiated your association with him?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And what are your duties in your association with General Walker?
Mr. Surrey.
I am just a volunteer helper, whatever he needed, volunteer help in doing, I would help.
Mr. Jenner.
Are you compensated?
Mr. Surrey.
No; I am not.
Mr. Jenner.
You have never received any compensation?
Mr. Surrey.
No; I haven't.
Mr. Jenner.
You have never received any compensation from the publishing company we have identified that published that book?
Mr. Surrey.
No, sir.
