(Testimony of Arnold Louis Rowland)

Mr. Specter.
You have described seeing someone in another window hanging out. Would you draw a circle and put an "A" beside the window where you say you saw someone hanging out. That is on Exhibit No. 356.
(Witness marking.)
Mr. Specter.
At about what time was it that you observed someone hanging out of the window that you have marked as window "A"?
Mr. Rowland.
Again about 12:15 just before I noticed the other man.
Mr. Specter.
You have marked the double window there. Would you draw the arrow in the red pencil indicating specifically which window it was.
(Witness marking.)
Mr. Specter.
Will you describe with as much particularity as you can what that man looked like?
Mr. Rowland.
It seemed to me an elderly Negro, that is about all. I didn't pay very much attention to him.
Mr. Specter.
At or about that time did you observe anyone else hanging out any window or observe any one through any window on the same floor where you have drawn the two circles on Exhibit 356?
Mr. Rowland.
No; no one else on that floor.
Mr. Specter.
You testified before that there were other windows where you had seen people hanging out, is that correct?
Mr. Rowland.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
Would you tell us and indicate on the picture, Exhibit 356, to the best of your ability to recollect just which those windows were?
Mr. Rowland.
There was either two or three people in this window.
Mr. Specter.
Mark that with a "B" if you would, please.
(Witness marking.)
Mr. Rowland.
Those pair of windows. I think this was all on that floor.
Here on this floor.
Mr. Specter.
Indicating the second floor?
Mr. Rowland.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
Circle the windows and mark it with a "0" if you will.
Mr. Rowland.
I think it was this pair immediately over the door, and this pair.
Mr. Specter.
Mark one "0" and one "D," if you will.
(Witness marking.)
Mr. Rowland.
Here I know there were two Negro women, I think.
Mr. Specter.
Indicating window "0." You say two Negro women?
Mr. Rowland.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
And were those women each in one window, both in one window or what?
Mr. Rowland.
They were one in each window. Then at the window "D" there was one, one window open.
Mr. Specter.
Which was that, indicate that by an arrow, if you please.
(Witness marking.)
Mr. Rowland.
The one on the west side, and this appeared to have two heads just inside the window, no one hanging out the window as with the others.
Mr. Specter.
Did you observe anyone else hanging Out the window?
Mr. Rowland.
There was someone on the third floor. I think it was--wait a minute yes, the third floor had three adjoining sets of windows that were open. They were all open to the fullest extent they would open.
Mr. Specter.
Would you mark those "E," "F" and "G," please.
(Witness marking.)
Mr. Specter.
Did you observe any people in those windows marked "E," "F," and "G"?
Mr. Rowland.
Yes, and this pair, "E," both windows were open, and there appeared to be one man in the eastern window.
Mr. Specter.
Which you have now marked with an arrow.
Mr. Rowland.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
How about as to window marked "F"?
Mr. Rowland.
Both windows were completely up, and there appeared to be several people in that window, four or five, a number that I don't remember, you know I couldn't see all of them.
