(Testimony of Robert Alan Surrey)
Mr. Surrey.
His desk was positioned right there.
Mr. Jenner.
You have now drawn a small but rather elongated rectangle, which appears to be opposite two lines you have drawn which I take it represents a window.
Mr. Surrey.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And from what you learned from General Walker on that occasion in the presence of the policemen, was he seated at the desk?
Mr. Surrey.
He was seated at his desk.
Mr. Jenner.
His back to the window you have drawn, or facing the window?
Mr. Surrey.
To the window.
Mr. Jenner.
So he was facing to the window?
Mr. Surrey.
No; his back was to the window.
Mr. Jenner.
He was facing away from the window?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And you have drawn a little circle by the figure a desk, indicating where General Walker was seated?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And facing westerly?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, locate for us, put a circle with a cross, the wall, the of the wall indicated by Commission Exhibit No. 1008.
Mr. Surrey.
It is right here, sir. [Witness draws.]
Mr. Jenner.
All right. Now, that is shown, for the purpose of the to the left of the blank circle which the witness drew to show General sitting at his desk. And that area that is shown on--the wall shown on mission Exhibit No. 1009, I take it, is precisely the other side.
Mr. Surrey.
The other side.
Mr. Jenner.
You have done that by showing an area?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. Then we have that located.
Did General Walker in your presence relate what occurred?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Tell us what he said about how it occurred, when he aware of it?
Mr. Surrey.
I walked in the front door, and there were several standing around in various areas. I walked in through here.
Mr. Jenner.
When you say "through here" [witness draws two lines to represent door. ]----
Mr. Surrey.
Through the front----
Mr. Jenner.
You came in from the south, the front, and you went down hallway?
Mr. Surrey.
It is not really a hallway. It is mostly glass doors here. I walked through those glass doors.
Mr. Jenner.
You have put three strikes on your sketch. What is that?
Mr. Surrey.
Those are glass doors.
Mr. Jenner.
You walked through the glass doorway. You walked into room, the wail of which is shown on Commission Exhibit No. 1009. Correct?
Mr. Surrey.
That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
Mr. Surrey.
And I went right through this room.
Mr. Jenner.
Into the room in which General Walker's desk is located?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
The wall of which on that side appears shown on Commission Exhibit No. 1008?
Mr. Surrey.
That is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
All right
Mr. Surrey.
The General was sitting at his desk.
Mr. Jenner.
When you arrived?
Mr. Surrey.
When I arrived.
Mr. Jenner.
Was he facing----
Mr. Surrey.
He was----
Mr. Jenner.
Westerly?
