General WALKER. It is an outside picture taken looking into the house, taken from the west. The camera pointed east and took the house, and it shows the shot and the broken glass in the window.

Mr. Liebeler.

The window of your home?
General WALKER. The window of my home at 4011 Turtle Creek Boulevard.

Mr. Liebeler.

That is the window through which the shot was fired at you on April 10, 1963?
General WALKER. That is correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

Is it possible to see your desk?
General WALKER. Yes; you can see the chair. Let's go off the record a minute.

Mr. Liebeler.

Let's stay on the record. It is all right.
General WALKER. All right, what I had mixed up, I never knew anybody got a picture of me pointing at anything, and that looks like my hand. I didn't know this photographer was outside at the time. I was thinking the picture was taken from the inside, but I see it perfectly now and it is from the outside. This looks like there is a table here, from this window, and in the corner running that way.

Mr. Liebeler.

Just inside the window?
General WALKER. Just inside the window. Then there is a space between that and the desk. Then the desk is here at an angle across this corner, and that looks like the chair. No; I ,am not sure. I did have a chair in between me and the table, which may be that chair. It is possible that you are not seeing the desk chair. There are two windows in this wall, but those are too close to be the windows. That is one of those panels, I suspect, like the flower panel. The window is still further back here.

Mr. Liebeler.

So it is not possible to see your desk from that picture?
General WALKER. That picture is taken at this angle, see.

Mr. Liebeler.

So you can't really see your desk?
General WALKER. I would say my desk is back in that corner.

Mr. Liebeler.

But it would be directly, if you stood at the window and looked straight through the window, you would be able to see your desk across the room?
General WALKER. That is correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

Was your desk directly across the room from the window, or was it sitting catercornered?
General WALKER. It was sitting catercornered in the corner on the opposite side of the room. I was facing out over the desk toward the center of the room.

Mr. Liebeler.

When the shot was fired?
General WALKER. That is correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

So that you were almost facing the window at the time the shot was fired; is that correct? Looking sideways?
General WALKER. No; I was looking to the center of the room.

Mr. Liebeler.

Sideways to the window? I am trying to drive at what kind of shot the man had at you. Was he shooting at you from the side, from the back, or from the front? I think it would be from the side.
General WALKER. More from the side than the front. Definitely from the side but a little at an angle, because I was facing the center of the room.

Mr. Liebeler.

Right. I show you a copy of a photograph that has been marked Commission Exhibit No. 1006, and ask you if this is not also a picture of the window through which the shot was fired showing where the shot had apparently hit the sash at one point?
General WALKER. That looks like the window and where the shot was fired through the window into the room. It certainly must be the same shot.

Mr. Liebeler.

It purports to be a photograph that was turned over to the Commission by the police department and it purports to be a picture of that window.
General WALKER. That is the same shot then.

Mr. Liebeler.

The bullet apparently actually hit a portion of the window frame before it went through. Does that accord with your recollection?
General WALKER. The bullet went through the screen frame. Then it went through a portion of the window frame, and a portion of the glass.

Mr. Liebeler.

I show you a copy of a photograph that has been marked
