(Testimony of Robert Alan Surrey)

Mr. Jenner.
Which is designated as G?
Mr. Surrey.
It very well could be Gilbert Street. I just don't know the names of those streets.
Yes; to the best of my knowledge that is accurate.
Mr. Jenner.
There is a tall building to the left, rather nice-looking. Are you familiar with that building?
Mr. Surrey.
No; there are several new ones going right up in that area. I think that is the Spa, or something.
Mr. Jenner.
I am referring, Mr. Chief Justice, to the tall building with a lattice design immediately to the right of the letter "A".
What did you think that was?
Mr. Surrey.
A new development in there called 21 Turtle Creek, the Spa, or something. I only know it from newspaper ads.
Mr. Jenner.
I see. Was that building in that condition or being erected in the spring of 1963?
Mr. Surrey.
If that is the building I think of, it has just been finished month or so now.
Mr. Jenner.
How long has it been under construction?
Mr. Surrey.
Possibly a year, a year and a half.
Mr. Jenner.
Does that photograph fairly depict and represent the area it shows as that area existed in the spring of 1963?
Mr. Surrey.
No; you are missing a Jesuit high school which was here.
Mr. Jenner.
When you say was here, I have to identify the spot to which you are pointing. And the spot to which you are pointing is the open field area that is shown immediately to the right of the building we have identified, near which the letter "A" appears?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Tell us about that.
Mr. Surrey.
That was the old Jesuit high school, which has been torn down just recently. I believe just recently finished tearing it down.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. I will identify these other photographs rather quickly. In each instance, will you look at the photograph and tell us whether the sublettering is correct.
I have now handed the witness Commission Exhibit No. 999.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 999 for identification.)
Mr. Surrey.
I believe that to be generally correct. This area of Walker's residence here is difficult----
Mr. Jenner.
It is some distance away, and the area of Walker's residence to which the witness referred is a circle to which the letter "A" is affixed?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Otherwise, this is an accurate representation of that area and as it existed in the spring of 1963?
Mr. Surrey.
Again, the high school is--I don't believe that that Jesuit high school was to the ground as it shows here, in the spring of 1963.
Mr. Jenner.
I now call your attention to the building that appears immediately to the right of the circle.
Mr. Surrey.
That is, I believe, the same building that shows in the previous exhibit.
Mr. Jenner.
Thank you. That is just exactly what I was going to ask you. All right. Now, would you look at Commission Exhibit No. 1000.
(The documents referred to were marked Commission Exhibits Nos. 1000 and 1002 for identification.)
Mr. Jenner.
Are those footnotings correct?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes, sir; I believe they are.
Mr. Jenner.
Would you look at 1002.
Mr. Surrey.
Yes, sir; I believe they are substantially correct.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. For the purposes of the record, Mr. Reporter, Commission Exhibit No. 1000 also has a sticker on it marked Commission Exhibit No. 1001. Would you please note in the record we will not be using Commission Exhibit 1001. It got on there by mistake. Now, you just covered Exhibit No. 1002. Now, Exhibits Nos. 1003, 1004.
