(Testimony of Diana Hamilton Bowron)

Miss BOWRON. Yes; with the help of Miss Henchliffe.

Mr. Specter.
And did the two of you put them in the linen hamper?
Miss BOWRON. Yes; I put them in the linen hamper myself.
Mr. Specter.
What was done with the stretcher then?

Miss BOWRON. The stretcher was then wheeled across into trauma room No.2 which was empty.
Mr. SPECTER. Was there anything on the stretcher at all when it was wheeled into trauma room No. 2?
Miss BOWRON. Not that we noticed, except the rubber mattress that was left on it.
Mr. SPECTER. Would you have noticed anything had anything been on that stretcher ?
Miss BOWRON. Yes; I think so.
Mr. Specter.
And where was the stretcher when you last saw it?
Miss BOWRON. Being wheeled across into trauma room 2.
Mr. SPECTER. Now, I am going to show you three photostatic copies of newspaper stories which I will ask the Court Reporter to mark Bowron Exhibit Nos. 2, 3 and 4.
(Instruments referred to marked by the Reporter as Bowron Exhibit Nos. 2, 3, and 4, for identification.)
Mr. Specter.
Will you look at those and tell me whether or not those are photostatic copies of newspaper accounts of your story of this assassination day?
Miss BOWRON. They are photostatic copies of the articles that appeared in the newspapers, but they are not all my story.
Mr. Specter.
What newspapers did they appear in ?
Miss BOWRON. I believe this is the "Observer".

Mr. SPECTER. You are referring to BX Number 2 and what city is that published in?
Miss BOWRON. London.
Mr. Specter.
And BX Number 3 came from where?
Miss BOWRON. I think that this was "The Mail---The Daily Mail".
Mr. Specter.
Appearing in what city?
Miss BOWRON. It appears in all cities. It is a national newspaper.
Mr. Specter.
In England?
Miss BOWRON. Yes; it is prepared in England.
Mr. Specter.
And how about BX-4?
Miss BOWRON. Well, this I think was "The Mirror" I think.
Mr. Specter.
What city is The Mirror published in?
Miss BOWRON. That is a national newspaper.
Mr. Specter.
Appearing in England?
Miss BOWRON. Yes.

Mr. SPECTER. Were there any stories in any other newspapers about you and your participation in .the events of the day at Parkland?
Miss BOWRON. I believe there was one---I think it was an Australian paper and Mrs. Nelson received a letter from there with an article and which was the same as I think---as this one.
Mr. Specter.
BX-4?
Miss BOWRON. Yes.
Mr. Specter.
And does that constitute all the stories which appeared about your participation in this event?
Miss BOWRON. Yes.

Mr. SPECTER. Now, will you state briefly the circumstances under which this information was obtained, if you know?
Miss BOWRON. Mrs. Nelson spoke to me and told me that there had been two English reporters in Dallas who had been asking about me, and she told them where to get in touch with me, and the next day they came to the emergency room and wanted to speak to me and I said I couldn't tell them anything other than I was from England, gave them my home address, and the fact that I had been present and I was the one who went out to the car and brought the President in and being with him until they finished, and that was all that I told them.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you give them any information beyond that?
