(Testimony of Eric Rogers)

Mr. Rogers.
That's it. That's it.
Mr. Liebeler.
Does that look like one of the bags?
Mr. Rogers.
That looks to me like it was.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now I show you a picture which we will mark Rogers Exhibit No. 1, showing two views of a bag. Does it look like the one Oswald had?
Mr. Rogers.
You mean--he had two of them.
Mr. Liebeler.
How many did he have?
Mr. Rogers.
He had two of them in my estimation, each one in one hand. They looked like these here to me, to my knowledge. I mean, yes. I don't think it was this type [indicating]. I would say this type [indicating].
Mr. Liebeler.
And you are pointing to No. A-l, which is a picture of Commission Exhibit No. 126 and do you think he had two bags that looked like "Commission Exhibit No. 126." Did he carry both in one hand?
Mr. Rogers.
One in each hand.
Mr. Liebeler.
As far as you can tell, he did not have a bag similar to Rogers Exhibit No. 1?
Mr. Rogers.
No, no. It was kind of daylight. You could see. You know what I mean?
Mr. Liebeler.
What makes you sure that he didn't have one like Rogers Exhibit No. 17 Is it a different size?
Mr. Rogers.
It was--they both look like the same size, and they were well packed. They were well stuffed. I know they wasn't light. I don't know what he had in them.
Mr. Liebeler.
So in your estimation, he had two bags like Exhibit 126?
Mr. Rogers.
If I am not mistaken, they are the two bags that my wife and I identified when they came over to the house, somebody from Oklahoma. He was transferred down here.
Mr. Liebeler.
An FBI agent?
Mr. Rogers.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
They actually brought the bags over?
Mr. Rogers.
They had the pictures like this.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did he show you pictures like these two that I have got here?
Mr. Rogers.
Sure did.
Mr. Liebeler.
They had bags like Exhibit 126?
Mr. Rogers.
Yes. This is the type. That's the green type of looking luggage.
Mr. Liebeler.
You say again that he did not have a bag that looked like Rogers Exhibit No. 1?
Mr. Rogers.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now, did Oswald leave as far as you can tell on the same day that the station wagon left, or on the next day?
Mr. Rogers.
Well, they packed that night and, yes; they left on the same day, the following evening.
Mr. Liebeler.
They packed the station wagon on one day and the next day you looked out and the station wagon was gone?
Mr. Rogers.
He left that following evening. I figured he was moving. I don't know. If he was moving, he was supposed to tell the landlord.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did he talk to the landlord about it?
Mr. Rogers.
No; but she knew about it. He didn't talk to her. He didn't talk to nobody. He would give you the money and wouldn't say nothing. He was quiet himself, that's all.
Mr. Liebeler.
(handing picture to witness). I am going to show you a picture that has been marked "Bringuier Exhibit No. 1," and ask you if you recognize anybody in that picture.
Mr. Rogers.
Wait. Let me get my glasses on. I can see better this way. [Examining picture.] No, Mr. Liebeler, I don't think. I don't think. No; I don't think I know any one in there.
Mr. Liebeler.
(handing picture to witness). I show you a picture that has been marked "Garner Exhibit No. 1," and ask you if you recognize any individual that is in that picture.
