(Testimony of Amos Lee Euins)

Mr. Euins.
come on down the street further, you know he kind of stuck it out more, you know.
Mr. Specter.
How far was it sticking out of the window would you say then, Amos?
Mr. Euins.
I would say it was about something like that.
Mr. Specter.
Indicating about 3 feet?
Mr. Euins.
You know--the trigger housing and stock and receiver group out the window.
Mr. Specter.
I can't understand you, Amos.
Mr. Euins.
It was enough to get the stock and receiving house and the trigger housing to stick out the window.
Mr. Specter.
The stock and receiving house?
Mr. Euins.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
Now, what direction was the rifle pointing?
Mr. Euins.
Down--what did you says Elm?
Mr. Specter.
Elm Street?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir; down Elm.
Mr. Specter.
Was it pointing in the direction of the President?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Now, could you see anything else on the gun?
Mr. Euins.
No, sir; I could not.
Mr. Specter.
For example, could you see whether or not there was a telescopic lens on the gun?
Mr. Euins.
No, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Now, is there anything else about the gun that you can describe to us that you have not already told us about?
Mr. Euins.
No, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Now, what kind of a look, if any, did you have at the man who was there?
Mr. Euins.
All I got to see was the man with a spot in his head, because he had his head something like this.
Mr. Specter.
Indicating his face down, looking down the rifle?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir: and I could see the spot on his head.
Mr. Specter.
How would you describe that man for us?
Mr. Euins.
I wouldn't know how to describe him, because all I could see was the spot and his hand.
Mr. Specter.
Was he slender or was he fat?
Mr. Euins.
I didn't get to see him.
Mr. Specter.
Could you tell from where you looked whether he was tall or short?
Mr. Euins.
No.
Mr. Specter.
Of what race was he, Amos?
Mr. Euins.
I couldn't tell, because these boxes were throwing a reflection, shaded.
Mr. Specter.
Could you tell whether he was a Negro gentleman or a white man?
Mr. Euins.
No, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Couldn't even tell that? But you have described that he had a bald--
Mr. Euins.
Spot in his head. Yes, sir; I could see the bald spot in his head.
Mr. Specter.
Now, could you tell what color hair he had?
Mr. Euins.
No, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Could you tell whether his hair was dark or light?
Mr. Euins.
No, sir.
Mr. Specter.
How far back did the bald spot on his head go?
Mr. Euins.
I would say about right along in here.
Mr. Specter.
Indicating about 2 1/2 inches above where you hairline is. Is that about what you are saying?
Mr. Euins.
Yes, sir; right along in here.
Mr. Specter.
Now, did you get a very good look at that man, Amos?
Mr. Euins.
No, sir; I did not.
Mr. Specter.
Were you able to tell anything about the clothes he was wearing?
Mr. EUINS: No, sir.
