(Testimony of W. E. Barnes)

Mr. Barnes.
None that I can recall.
Mr. Belin.
Anything particularly relevant about Barnes Deposition Exhibit C that you want to further discuss at this time?
Mr. Barnes.
I believe not.
Mr. Belin.
Handing you Barnes Deposition Exhibit D, will you state what this is?
Mr. Barnes.
That is a side view of the Tippit car.
Mr. Belin.
That is looking toward the driver's side, is that correct?
Mr. Barnes.
That's right.
Mr. Belin.
You see the houses in the background which would be roughly to the south, is that right?
Mr. Barnes.
That's correct.
Mr. Belin.
This is a picture of the car as you found it?
Mr. Barnes.
That's right.
Mr. Belin.
Now, do you remember whether or not the window on the driver's side was up or down?
Mr. Barnes.
I believe it was down.
Mr. Belin.
Was any jacket of any kind hanging in the back of the car?
Mr. Barnes.
Yes; Tippit's Eisenhower jacket, that's what we call them, was hanging on a hanger in the back of the car.
Mr. Belin.
Handing you Barnes Deposition Exhibit E, would you state what this is?
Mr. Barnes.
This is a shot from the south looking northward at the front of the Tippit car, and showing the blood shot on the pavement where Tippit fell.
Mr. Belin.
This has a caption on it, "Spot where Patrolman Tippit fell." Does the arrow point to the spot to which you refer?
Mr. Barnes.
It does.
Mr. Belin.
Anything else particularly relevant about Barnes Deposition Exhibit E that you want to discuss now?
Mr. Barnes.
No. I made that one [pointing].
Mr. Belin.
You are now referring to Barnes Deposition Exhibit F, is that correct?
Mr. Barnes.
That is true.
Mr. Belin.
What is that a picture of?
Mr. Barnes.
That shows the rear of the Tippit car, left rear, and also a view looking to the east, which covers the spot where Tippit fell.
Mr. Belin.
At this time we introduce in evidence Barnes Deposition Exhibits A, B, C, D, E, and F, and I will just have these copies with the original copy of the deposition for madam reporter. We won't ask you to make copies of these.
Now you mentioned out there that some cartridge cases were found, is that correct?
Mr. Barnes.
That is true.
Mr. Belin.
Sergeant, I will ask you to examine Commission Exhibits Nos. Q-74, Q-75, Q-76, and Q-77, and ask you to state whether or not there appears to be any identification marks on any of these exhibits that appear to show that they were examined or identified by you?
Mr. Barnes.
I placed "B", the best that I could, inside of the hull of Exhibit 74---I believe it was Q-74 and Q-75, as you have them identified.
Mr. Belin.
Now all four of these exhibits appear to be cartridge case hulls, is that correct?
Mr. Barnes.
.38 caliber.
Mr. Belin.
.38 caliber pistol?
Mr. Barnes.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
They are kind of silver or chrome or grey in color? You can identify it that way?
Mr. Barnes.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
How many of these hulls, to the best of your recollection, did you identify out there?
Mr. Barnes.
I believe that the patrolman gave me two, and Captain Doughty received the third.
