(Testimony of Roger D. Craig)

Mr. Craig.
I don't know. 10 minutes, maybe.
Mr. BELIN. You believe you talked to this young couple 10 minutes after the shots were fired?
Mr. Craig.
It might have been 10 minutes.
Mr. Belin.
All right. Then, what did you do? But, first of all, let me ask you this: Did. this girl say that she saw any person with a rifle?
Mr. Craig.
No; no.
Mr. BELIN. Now, the boy---where did he say that he saw the man with the rifle?
Mr. Craig.
On the---uh---west end of the building on the sixth floor.
Mr. Belin.
Would that be---when you say "the west end,"---you mean, the west end of the south side, or the west side?
Mr. Craig.
The west end of the south side.
Mr. Belin.
Of the sixth floor?
Mr. Craig.
Right.
Mr. Belin.
Did he point out the window to you?
Mr. Craig.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
From ,the west Corner, where would this window have been? Right next to the west corner or two or three windows away, or what?
Mr. Craig.
It was the---uh---the second window from the corner.
They were walking, you know, back and forth.
Mr. Belin.
He said that the two men were walking back and forth?
Mr. Craig.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Now, when you talk about second window, this building is located near you, is it not?
Mr. Craig.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
This is the Texas School Book Depository Building?
Mr. Craig.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Each window was sort of a pair of windows. And, on the south side, there probably are around seven pairs of windows.
Mr. Craig.
Uh-huh.

Mr. BELIN. Would this have been---when you say "the second window from the west end"---by that do you mean it was the first pair of windows but the easternmost one of that pair, or do you mean it was in the second pair of windows from the west end---or don't you remember?
Mr. Craig.
No; I don't remember that now.
Mr. Belin.
All right. Did he say anything else about what he had seen with this man with the rifle?

Mr. CRAIG. Yeah; he said he looked back a few minutes later and--uh--the other man was gone, and there was just one man--the man with the rifle.
Mr. BELIN. He said he looked back again and just the man with the rifle was there?
Mr. Craig.
Right.
Mr. BELIN. Did he say how long or when the last time was that he saw the man with the rifle?
Mr. CRAIG. I believe this second time he looked was the uh---the last time he looked up there.
Mr. Belin.
And about how long was that before the shots were fired?
Mr. Craig.
Well, he said he first seen him--saw the two men about 15 minutes before the motorcade arrived.
Mr. Belin.
Uh-huh.
Mr. Craig.
And he didn't say how long after that he looked back up there to just see the one man. He just said-- uh--a few minutes later he looked back up.

Mr. BELIN. A few minutes later, he looked back up and he saw one man with the rifle?
Mr. Craig.
Just the one man.
Mr. Belin.
Did he say what the one man was doing with the rifle?

Mr. CRAIG. He said he was holding it down to his side and just looking out the window.
