THE MEN IN THE WINDOW
1. Witness ARNOLD ROWLAND described an elderly negro male with a plaid shirt and thin hair lean out of the "Oswald" window. He also said that he had observed a caucasian or light latin male with a rifle at the other end of the 6th floor. ( 1 )
He testified to the Warren Commission but they discounted it.
2. AMOS EUINS described to a newsman at the scene a "colored" man with a rifle lean out of the sixth floor window. Euins said that he saw the man shoot twice. Thought the rifle was an automatic. ( 2 )
Euins spent 7 1/2 hours at the Sheriff's office. ( 3 )
Following threats, he recanted his story to the Warren Commission.
3. JOHN POWELL was a prisoner in the county jail who claimed to see two men adjusting the scope of a rifle. They were darker skinned than whites and appeared to be wearing "brownish or duller clothes like work clothes." ( 4 )
He was never called to testify to the WC.
4. RUBY HENDERSON said that she had seen two men in the upper floor of the Texas School Book Depository. She thought that one was either Mexican or Negro, because his skin was dark. He was wearing a white shirt. The other man had a dark shirt. ( 5 )
She reported this to the FBI in 1963, but was never called to testify to the Warren Commission.
5. CAROLYN WALTHER saw two men on the 4th or 5th floor of the TSBD. One was holding a rifle, which he pointed down at the street. He was wearing a white shirt and had blond or light brown hair. The second man had a light colored shirt or jacket.
When she reported it to the FBI in 1963, the FBI told her that she saw "boxes" ( 6 ) and in their report of her interview, changed her description of the man in the light colored jacket to a "brown suit coat" ( 7 ).
She was never called to testify to the Warren Commission. The FBI never explained what type of "box" wore a white shirt and was capable of holding a rifle.
6. RICHARD RANDOLPH CARR said that he saw a heavy-set man wearing a hat, horn-rimmed glasses and a tan sport coat on the sixth floor "Oswald" window. After the shooting, he saw the man walking on Commerce St. He followed him, and observed him get into a Nash Rambler that was parked facing north on Houston St. He described the driver of the Rambler as dark-skinned, possibly Spanish or Cuban.
When he reported what he saw, Carr was intimidated by the FBI and told to "keep his mouth shut". ( 8 )
He was never called to testify to the Warren Commission.
7. SHERIFF's DEPUTY ROGER CRAIG may have seen the same man driving the same Rambler. He stated that he saw the Dallas Police stop a man at the intersection of Elm and Houston shortly after the shooting. The man spoke only in Spanish, so the police let him go. Shortly after, Craig saw the same man drive by behind the wheel of a Rambler wagon. The vehicle, he said, drove down Elm St toward the overpass, when a man ran down the grassy knoll and got into it. That man, Craig said, was Lee Harvey Oswald. ( 9 )
Four of the witnesses' described a dark skinned man in a white shirt.
Perhaps they all got together and made the whole thing up, or perhaps that's exactly what they saw.

Of course, since she said that the floor which the men were on was definitely not as high as the 6th floor.
