(Testimony of Edith Whitworth)

Mrs. Whitworth.
I don't--no; I don't.
Mr. Liebeler.
I show you another photograph that has been marked Pizzo

Exhibit No. 453-B, and ask you if you recognize anybody in that picture?
Mrs. Whitworth.
I don't know this one either.
Mr. Liebeler.
You don't recognize anybody in there either?
Mrs. Whitworth.
No; not as far as I see it.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, what about Bringuier Exhibit No. 1, do you see anybody in there that looks familiar?
Mrs. Whitworth.
I couldn't identify anyone in there.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, what about Garner Exhibit No. 1, does that person look familiar to you?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Yes; he does.
Mr. Liebeler.
That one does?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
And is that the same man that came in the store that day?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Yes; he looked younger in the store than he does there. Of course, there's the shadow that's on him there that causes him to look that way, but he does.
Mr. Liebeler.
Does that look like the man that came in the store--do you have any doubt about it?
Mrs. Whitworth.
I don't have a doubt in the world but what it wasn't him.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, I will show you this one Pizzo Exhibit No. 453-C.
Mrs. Whitworth.
Now, that looks more like him--he was more pleasant looking in the store than he is in these pictures here.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, I show you a picture that has been marked Commission Exhibit No. 171, and ask you if you recognize anybody in that picture?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Huh.
Mr. Liebeler.
Who do you recognize there?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Mrs. Oswald is there, I mean, his wife.
Mr. Liebeler.
And you think that's the woman that was in the store that day?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Yes; but of course she's not dressed there like she was, but that's her and that's the little girl and the little girl wasn't dressed like that either.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, I will show you a photograph marked Commission Exhibit No. 177 and I ask you if you recognize anybody in there?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Well, that's his wife there, isn't it?
Mr. Liebeler.
Does that look like the woman that was in the store?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Yes; she was attractive even then, I mean, she was a pretty girl then, of course, when she came in the store she wore her hair just right back and had it in a pony tail back that way.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did she have short hair or long hair?
Mrs. Whitworth.
She had long hair and had enough that she could tie it back here.
Mr. Liebeler.
What about that man sitting in the middle there of Commission Exhibit No. 177, does he look familiar to you?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Well, yes; he kind of resembles him--yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Does that look something like the man that was in the store?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Yes; the one sitting there with her?
Mr. Liebeler.
Yes; here is another picture that has been marked as Commission Exhibit No. 172, and I ask you if you recognize any of the people in that picture?
Mrs. Whitworth.
That's Mrs. Oswald there.
Mr. Liebeler.
What about the man? Does that man look like the man that was there in the store?
Mrs. Whitworth.
Well, it resembles him. Of course, if I could see him right in the face, you know, like I looked at him--the features are like him.
Mr. Liebeler.
Yes; and in Exhibit No. 177, of course, he does present a full face.
Mrs. Whitworth.
That looks more like him there, you know, it really does.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, Mrs. Whitworth, the testimony that you have given to us about this event is of considerable importance to the Commission for many reasons that are not, I'm sure, even clear to you at the moment.
