(Testimony of Mrs. Barbara Rowland)

Mrs. Rowland.
I am sure I glanced at the building more than once afterwards, because I can't just stand and stare in one direction.
Mr. Belin.
Do you mean you were just glancing at that building as you were glancing at other places?
Mrs. Rowland.
Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. When you were glancing at that building, do you remember whether you glanced at it, say, within 10 minutes prior to the motorcade?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I don't remember. But most of the windows on that floor were closed, and the people who were looking out usually were looking out at an open window.
Mr. Belin.
Did you see any people look out of any open windows?
Mrs. Rowland.
Yes.
Mr.. BELIN. About how many did you see all told, if you can remember?
Mrs. Rowland.
Two or three, I think.
Mr. Belin.
Any more than two or three looking out of windows?
Mrs. Rowland.
Not that I remember.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember whether or not any of those that you saw looking out of windows were looking out of the sixth floor?
Mrs. Rowland.
They weren't.
Mr. Belin.
They were not? Were they on any floor higher than the sixth floor?
Mrs. Rowland.
No.
Mr. Belin.
Were they all on floors lower than the sixth floor?
Mrs. Rowland.
Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Did your husband state in the presence of you at any time while he was giving any of these statements on the afternoon of November 22, whether or not he saw any people looking out of the building?
Mrs. Rowland.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Where did he say he saw them?

Mrs. ROWLAND. He didn't say exactly where he saw them, but the windows on the floor above the sixth floor were all closed, and I think they were never open.
Mr. Belin.
All right. So they wouldn't have been on the seventh floor?
Mrs. Rowland.
No.
Mr. BELIN. Did he say whether or not he saw any people looking out of any other windows on the sixth floor?
Mrs. Rowland.
He didn't say, I don't believe.
Mr. BELIN. Did he say what floor? He didn't say whether he did or did not is that your testimony, or did he say that he did not?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I don't believe he said whether or not he saw any other people on the sixth floor.
Mr. BELIN. What did he say about what he saw? Do you remember about how many people he said he saw looking out of the windows?
Mrs. Rowland.
I don't believe he said any certain number of people.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember anything that he said about that?

Mrs. ROWLAND. He just said that there were some other people looking out of some windows in the same building.
Mr. Belin.
Did he specifically locate them in any way?
Mrs. Rowland.
No.
Mr. BELIN. All right, is there any other thing that your husband said your presence that afternoon pertaining to this School Book Depository Building?
Mrs. Rowland.
No; I don't believe so.
Mr. Belin.
How long did you say over there?
Mr. Rowland.
We were there until about 2 :00 or 3 :00, I think.
Mr. Belin.
Then what did you do?

Mr. ROWLAND. Then we left and walked around town and tried to get a newspaper, and before we left, we knew that the President was dead.
From that---for a while, we were in a room alone with a lady who came in to testify, and said that she had seen a blond man carrying a rifle in a rifle bag, and he said that probably it couldn't have been the man he saw because the man he saw was dark-haired.
