Mr. Belin.

the policeman, and then he mentioned the man he had seen in the School Book Depository Building, and then the man took us to the records building.

Mr. Belin.

Who did your husband mention this to? Was this some police officer?

Mrs. ROWLAND. I am not certain. The first man he mentioned it to was wearing plain clothes, and we didn't see him again, I don't think. And then there were some other men who took us to the building. I don't know who they were.

Mr. Belin.

Then what did you do when you got to the building? Did you stay with your husband?

Mrs. Rowland.

Yes.

Mr. Belin.

He was questioned in the building?

Mrs. Rowland.

Mr. Belin.

Did you hear what your husband said?

Mrs. Rowland.

Yes.

Mr. Belin.

Could you describe what went on in the building?

Mrs. ROWLAND. When we first came in, we went into an office that had glass windows around it. There was a man sitting there with a child. I think it was a boy and he said that he had seen the President shot and he said that---he didn't say there were three shots, I think he said there was one, or maybe he said there were more than three, but he didn't say there were three shots.
Then we went out into an open area in the building, a fairly open area, and there were some reporters in there, and they started asking us questions which we didn't answer, because mainly we didn't have time.
Then we were taken into a very small office and a lady took his written statement and my statement, and there were three other people who came in, three other witnesses who come in.
There were two young men together, and one young lady who came in.
Mr. BELIN. All right, now, when you gave your statement to the police and your husband gave his statement to the police, or to whoever the people were making the statement, do you remember what your husband said?

Mrs. Rowland.

Yes. Do I have to tell you again?

Mr. Belin.

Well, did he say substantially what you said?

Mrs. Rowland.

Yes; I think so.

Mr. Belin.

Anything else that he said that you haven't related here?

Mrs. ROWLAND. I believe he may have said that the man had dark hair. Either he said that the man had dark hair, or he didn't see what color the man's hair was. And he said just about the same thing I said here, I think.

Mr. Belin.

All right, anything else that was said there by your husband?

Mrs. Rowland.

I don't remember anything else.
Mr. BELIN. Did your husband at that time say whether or not he had kept any watch on the window of the School Book Depository Building after he saw this man with the gun?

Mrs. Rowland.

No.

Mr. Belin.

You mean he---

Mrs. Rowland.

He didn't say.
Mr. BELIN. Did he say whether or not he had seen any other people in the windows of the School Book Depository Building?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes; I am fairly certain that he said there were other people looking out the windows.
Mr. BELIN. Did he say whether or not there were any other people on that same floor looking out the windows?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I am not certain whether he said or not. But I know there weren't any other people on that floor looking out the windows that could be seen from the outside.

Mr. Belin.

How do you know that

Mrs. ROWLAND. I mean I know they couldn't be seen from the outside, because I couldn't see them. I am nearsighted.

Mr. Belin.

Were you keeping any watch on the building after the time you
saw the man with the rifle?

Mrs. Rowland.

Well---

Mr. Belin.

Did you look up at that building from time to time?

Mrs. Rowland.

Well, I didn't pay any special attention to the building, but
