(Testimony of Robert Alan Surrey)

Mr. Jenner.
You will notice in substantially the center of that exhibit a rupture appears to be in the wall. Was that in fact a rupture?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes; it was. That is where the bullet came out of the wall, and when the police came they found the bullet on top of these packages.
Mr. Jenner.
On top of the packages shown on Commission Exhibit No. 1009, I show you Exhibit No. 1011, which appears to be a photograph of a fence, a lattice fence. Are you familiar with that?
Mr. Surrey.
I believe it is the same type of thing as is in back of home, in the alleyway.
Mr. Jenner.
Is it not in fact a picture of the fence that is---surrounds to rear General Walker's home?
Mr. Surrey.
I don't know. It is the same type, it looks the same.
Mr. Jenner.
It looks the same to you?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes
Mr. Jenner.
When you made your diagram, Exhibit No. 1005, you drew a line along the alley, and I think you said that was a lattice fence.
Mr. Surrey.
Yes; I drew it too far. This is Jackson's back yard.
Mr. Jenner.
Well that is all right. The lattice fence you identified----
Mr. Surrey.
Is of the same type and construction.
Mr. Jenner.
As shown on Exhibit No. 1011?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
All right, sir. Thank you. Is the area depicted on Exhibit No. 1012 familiar to you?
Mr. Surrey.
It looks like a picture taken from the top of that lattice fence towards the back of Walker's home.
Mr. Jenner.
Next is Commission Exhibit No. 1010, which is a photograph of a tire imprint. On the evening of April 10 or the next day, April 11, when it was light, did you tour around General Walker's home with him or without him? There was a search made to see----
Mr. Surrey.
Yes; there was.
Mr. Jenner.
To find some identification in the way of automobile tire impressions?
Mr. Surrey.
It is my impression that the police were looking primarily for a casing from a shell. I did not see them take any-- --
Mr. Jenner.
So that the particular portion of the Walker vicinity shown on Commission Exhibit No. 1010 is not familiar to you?
Mr. Surrey.
I wouldn't know where it was in the area.
Mr. Jenner.
Yes, sir.
The Chairman.
Those have all been formally introduced, Mr. Jenner?
Mr. Jenner.
No; they have not, Mr. Chief Justice. If it suits your convenience I was going to offer all exhibits at once, so I don't overlook any.
The Chairman.
Yes; very well.
Mr. Jenner.
Thank you. Some of the exhibits the witness has identified have already been introduced. They were exhibited to Marina Oswald.
The Chairman.
Yes; I recall.
Mr. Jenner.
Would you help us, also--I hand you a map of Dallas, which we will mark Commission Exhibit No. 1013 or I should correct myself--I hand you what purports to be a map of Dallas.
There is indicated by brush pencil a cross in the center of that map as representing the area of the residence of Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker, resigned, at 4011 Turtle Creek Boulevard in Dallas.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 1013 for identification.)
Mr. Surrey.
Yes; that is correct. That is the area.
Mr. Jenner.
That is a scale map of Dallas that appears to have been obtained from the Dallas Transit Co. in Dallas, Tex.
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, you received a telephone call from General Walker?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
The evening of April 10. It was about 9 o'clock? Please try to fix that time as accurately as you can.
Mr. Surrey.
I would say it was closer to 9:15.
