(Testimony of Ronald B. Fischer)

Mr. Fischer.
I could see from about the middle of his chest past the top of his head.
Mr. Belin.
All right.
Mr. Fischer.
He was in the---as you're looking toward that window, he was in the lower right portion of the window. He seemed to be sitting a little forward.

And he had--he had on an open-neck shirt, but it-uh--could have been a sport shirt or a T-shirt. It was light in color; probably white, I couldn't tell whether it had long sleeves or whether it was a short-sleeved shirt, but it was open-neck and light in color.
Uh---he had a slender face and neck---uh---and he had a light complexion----he was a white man. And he looked to be 22 or 24 years old.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember anything about the color of his hair?

Mr. FISCHER. His hair seemed to be---uh---neither light nor dark; possibly a light---well, possibly a---well, it was a brown was what it was; but as to whether it was light or dark, I can't say.
Mr. BELIN. Did he have a thick head of hair or did he have a receding hair-line---or couldn't you tell?
Mr. Fischer.
I couldn't tell. He couldn't have had very long hair, because his hair didn't seem to take up much space---of what I could see of his head. His hair must have been short and not long.
Mr. BELIN. Well, did you see a full view of his face or more of a profile of it, or what was it?
Mr. Fischer.
I saw it at an angle but, at the same time, I could see I believe I could see the tip of his right cheek as he looked to my left.
Mr. BELIN. Now, could you be anything more definite as to what direction he was looking at?
Mr. FISCHER He looked to me like he was looking straight at the triple underpass.
Mr. Belin.
Down what street?
Mr. Fischer.
Elm Street.
Mr. Belin.
Down Elm?
Mr. Fischer.
Toward the end of Elm Street.
Mr. Belin.
As it angles there and goes under the triple underpass there?
Mr. Fischer.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
Could you see his hands?
Mr. Fischer.
No.
Mr. Belin.
Could you see whether or not he was holding anything?
Mr. Fischer.
No; I couldn't see.
Mr. Belin.
Could you see any other objects in the window?

Mr. FISCHER. There were boxes and cases stacked all the way from the bottom to the top and from the left to the right behind him. It looked---uh---it's possible that there weren't cases directly behind him because I couldn't see because of him. But---uh---all the rest of the window---a portion behind the window--- there were boxes. It looked like there was space for a man to walk through there between the window and the boxes. But there were boxes in the window, or close to the window there.
Mr. BELIN. Could you see any other people in any other windows there that you remember?
Mr. Fischer.
I couldn't see any other people in the windows. I don't remember seeing any others.
Mr. BELIN. By this, do you mean that you are sure there were none, or that you just do not remember seeing any?
Mr. Fischer.
I don't remember seeing any.
Mr. Belin.
Now, after you saw the man, then the motorcade turned onto

Houston from Main---is that correct?
Mr. Fischer.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Did you ever see the man again in the window?
Mr. Fischer.
No.
Mr. Belin.
Did you ever look back at the window?
Mr. Fischer.
I never looked back at the window.
Mr. Belin.
Well, could you describe what happened as you watched the
