(Testimony of Robert Alan Surrey)

Mr. Surrey.
He called me on the telephone at my home.
Mr. Jenner.
And how far did you live from General Walker's home?
Mr. Surrey.
About 2 miles.
Mr. Jenner.
And you immediately drove over there?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
What kind of an automobile do you own and drive?
Mr. Surrey.
A 1961 Ford convertible.
Mr. Jenner.
And did you arrive at his home in that convertible?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes, I did.
Mr. Jenner.
What time of the day or night was this?
Mr. Surrey.
This was about 9 to 9:30 in the evening.
Mr. Jenner.
What day? I mean date.
Mr. Surrey.
April 10th.
Mr. Jenner.
What year?
Mr. Surrey.
1963. Excuse me. This is 1964, isn't it.
Mr. Jenner.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Surrey.
So this would be----
Mr. Jenner.
Was this a year ago?
Mr. Surrey.
It would be 1963, yes.
Mr. Jenner.
I have marked a series of photographs as Commission Exhibits Nos. 1006 through 1012.
(The photographs referred to were marked Commission Exhibits Nos. 1006 through 1012, respectively, for identification.)
Mr. Jenner.
These purport to be photographs of portions and places in--both inside and outside General Walker's home relating to the incident in question.
Would you be good enough to take them seriatim, identify them by exhibit number----
Mr. Surrey.
Take them how?
Mr. Jenner.
Seriatim in series--commencing with Commission Exhibit 1006. And tell us if you are familiar with the photograph and whether it depicts a portion of General Walker's home, and, if so, what portion.
Mr. Surrey.
I don't know what this is here in the back yard, but outside of that it looks like a picture of the window facing towards the alley which the shot came through.
Mr. Jenner.
From the direction the shot came?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And the marring on the molding of the window is the point of the screen and the window through which the bullet came?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you examine that that evening?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes; I did.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you see the breach in the casement which is depicted on Commission Exhibit No. 1006?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes; I did. What is this in the back? Do you happen to know?
Mr. Jenner.
No; I don't. But I think I can bring it out. These photographs, I think, were taken fairly recently.
Have you been at General Walker's house in the last couple of weeks?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes; I have.
Mr. Jenner.
And have you had occasion to notice whether or not any repair whatsoever has been made or was made with respect to the marring of the molding?
Mr. Surrey.
I don't believe it has. That looks like a stack of cardboard back there. I am not familiar with it.
Mr. Jenner.
Yes; it looks like heavy asbestos, or some wood out in the yard.
Mr. Surrey.
I am not familiar with that.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, look at Exhibit No. 1007.
Excuse me the photograph Exhibit No. 1006 represents that casement in its present condition?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes, sir; to the best of my knowledge.
Mr. Jenner.
And also as it was when you saw it that night, April 10?
Mr. Surrey.
No; the window was closed when I saw it that night.
