Walther told the FBI on December 6, 1963, that from where she stood on the
east side of Houston south of Elm, within a minute before the shooting,
she saw a man standing on the fourth or fifth floor (definitely not the
sixth, she said) of the Texas School Book Depository, leaning out the
southeasternmost window and holding a weapon that looked like a machine
gun.
Vincent Bugliosi, "Reclaiming History", p. 836:
Apart from the fact that we know from photographs and testimony that the
fourth floor window was closed and the fifth-floor window occupied by
identified Book Depository employees (James Jarman, Bonnie Ray Williams
and Harold Norman, one of whom, Norman, can be seen leaning out of the
window in the Robert Hughes film, and undoubtedly is the person Walthers
saw), there is another very serious problem with Walter's statement. She
was watching the motorcade with her friend, Pearl Springer, who told the
FBI that not only didn't she see any armed man standing in the window, but
much more importantly, Walther, after the shooting, did not mention to her
anything about seeing any man in the window holding a rifle, machine gun,
or any other type of weapon.
