(Testimony of Mrs. Barbara Rowland)

Mrs. Rowland.
I spoke to law enforcement officers about three or four times, I think.
Mr. Belin.
About how many times in November? Once on the 22d?
Mrs. Rowland.
Yes. And we were contacted once Sunday morning at the Pizza Inn during November. I think it was the next Sunday.
Mr. Belin.
The 24th?

Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes. And we were contacted one morning, I am not positive, I think it might have been that Saturday, the following Saturday, the 23d--the Saturday following the assassination, at my mother's home, and I am not positive how many times.
Mr. BELIN. Were you present at any of these times that your husband was contacted?
Mrs. Rowland.
Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Were you present, for instance, on the Sunday morning, November 24th?
Mrs. Rowland.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember what your husband said at that time?

Mrs. ROWLAND. He repeated the statement he had made in the well, the police officers brought a written statement and asked him if that was in general what he had to say, and he said, "Yes," and they asked him specific questions about it and he answered them.
Mr. Belin.
Was there anything else that was said?
Mrs. Rowland.
I don't believe so.
Mr. BELIN. Was there anything that your husband said that was not on that written statement?
Mrs. Rowland.
I am not positive.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember him saying anything---do you remember him telling the police officer that the statement was correct, or do you remember him telling them anything?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes; he signed. There might have been a change or two in the statement and then he signed it and said that he verified that it was correct, to the best of his knowledge.
Mr. BELIN. Did he tell the police officer anything that was not on that statement that should be?
Mrs. Rowland.
I don't believe so.
Mr. BELIN. Was he asked whether or not he saw any other people in any other windows?
Mrs. Rowland.
I don't believe he was specifically asked that question.
Mr. BELIN. Did he tell any of the police officers that he saw any people in any other windows?
Mrs. Rowland.
I am not certain.
Mr. BELIN. DO you know whether or not he told them, the police officers, that there was any other person on the sixth floor that he saw?
Mrs. ROWLAND. He never said that there was another person on the sixth floor, in my presence, that I can remember.
Mr. Belin.
Were you present when he was with the police officers?
Mrs. Rowland.
At times.
Mr. Belin.
On Sunday morning, November 24th?
Mrs. Rowland.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Were you personally with him throughout the time that he was

with the police officers?
Mrs. Rowland.
Yes.
Mr. BELIN. And he, in your presence, never said that he saw anyone on the sixth floor other than the man with the rifle?
Mrs. ROWLAND. No. He never said in my presence that there was another man other than the man with the rifle on the sixth floor.
Mr. BELIN. It is a little bit like there has been asked a negative question and you don't know whether to answer yes or no to the question, is that right, Mrs. Rowland?
Mrs. Rowland.
Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Now were you present at any subsequent interviews that your husband had with any law enforcement agency?
