(Testimony of F. M. Turner)
Mr. Turner.
No, sir; only that he said the photos of Oswald looked like the man he saw at the window that shot, and he stated he saw this man a minute or less before the motorcade arrived, and could not say definitely this was the man. He said it looked like him.
Mr. Belin.
Detective Turner, is there anything else you can think of that in any way bears upon the assassination of the President of the investigation you made that we haven't discussed here?
Mr. Turner.
No, sir.
Mr. Belin.
You have been sitting here while I put in a call to Washington to determine whether or not the rifle had two or three holes for screws for the mounting of the scope, and just so that your curiosity will be relieved, I will say that I have a report from Washington that there are only two holes for mounting the scope on this particular rifle. Well, if you have nothing further, we want to thank you very much for all the cooperation in coming down here.
One other thing on the record. You have the opportunity to read this and sign it before it goes to Washington, or you can just waive the signature and have the court reporter ship it. Do you have any preference or not?
Mr. Turner.
What have they been doing?
Mr. Belin.
Well, most of the officers have been saying they would as soon read it and sign it, but you can do it either way.
Mr. Turner.
I suppose it is all right to just let it go.
Mr. Belin.
You want to waive it?
