Mr. Fischer.

I believe I did say "light-headed"--because I didn't--like I say--I didn't want it to appear that he was dark.

Mr. Belin.

By "dark," what color do you mean?

Mr. Fischer.

Black.
Mr. BELIN.. Well, once again, I'll ask you, to the best of your recollection, what color hair did he have?
Mr. FISCHER. Uh--like I say, it's too hard for me to---uh--to tell one way or the other. At the distance I was, uh--it's just- -it's just too hard for me to--I'm not going to say it because I don't know for sure, just exactly what shade of hair he did have. It wasn't blonde and it wasn't black. Somewhere in between. And it was a shade of brown that as to whether it was a dark brown, a light brown, a medium brown, or whatever you call it--I don't know.

Mr. Belin.

All right.
The statement says that you saw him in the window there. Do you remember how far the window was open?

Mr. FISCHER. The window was open almost all the way open if not all the way open.
Mr. BELIN. By that "all the way"--when you have a window all the way open of that kind, of course, you just have a half of the window case that is open. Is that correct?

Mr. Fischer.

That's right. You still have half an area of the opening covered by glass.

Mr. Belin.

Was it the bottom area that was open or the top area?

Mr. Fischer.

The bottom area. The window looked to be---uh--a window that raised from the bottom up.
Mr. BELIN. And it appeared to be almost as fully open as you could, or fully open ?
Mr. FISCHER. Or fully open. Yes--Or I wouldn't have been able to see the cases and see past the top of his head had it not been--and his shoulders.
Mr. BELIN. Now, on this written statement it says that you remember a tall girl walking into the School Book Depository Building there at about the time you saw the man?

Mr. Fischer.

Yes.

Mr. Belin.

Did you see such a girl walk in the building?

Mr. FISCHER. I can.'t remember. It must have been before. It must have been just before uh--I saw the man in the window. I can't remember very well. It's been too long. I believe it was before I saw the man in the window that I saw her walk into the building. Like I say, I made a mental note of it but I didn't pay too much attention at the time.
Mr. BELIN. Now, sometime later, after November 22, you were interviewed by the FBI. Do you remember that?

Mr. Fischer.

Yes; in the records building.

Mr. Belin.

And did the FBI man have any pictures with him at all, or not?

Mr. Fischer.

I don't remember whether he had pictures or not. It seems like he did.
Mr. BELIN. Could you identify the man you saw in the window from any of the pictures?
Mr. FISCHER. Uh--not--in fact, I believe they asked me---I believe they did have pictures of him. It seems like I recall them asking me if it could have been the picture that they identified as Lee Harvey Oswald, or if it could have been the picture of Jack Ruby.

Mr. Belin.

Now what did you say about the Jack Ruby picture?

Mr. Fischer.

I told them that I didn't think it could be him because--uh--he didn't--he didn't have near enough hair, it didn't look like to me.

Mr. Belin.

What about his build?

Mr. FISCHER. And that, too. His face was just a little--uh--fat; whereas-- uh--Oswald's picture was rather a slender face and neck.
Mr. BELIN. Did the man you saw in the window have a high forehead or a low forehead-or do you remember?
Mr. FISCHER. I can't--I can't remember seeing that--uh---that well. I don't know if I could have if I saw it now, whether I could tell you whether he had a large forehead or not.
