(Testimony of Robert Alan Surrey)

Mr. Surrey.
And going down to the creek is a grassy, leafed, brushed, tree area.
Mr. Jenner.
It is not an open field?
Mr. Surrey.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
But it is an area in which a firearm could be buried?
Mr. Surrey.
It is down near the creek--there are rocks.
(At this point, Representative Boggs withdrew from the hearing room.)
Mr. Surrey.
In addition to that--here is Avondale, here is the doctor's residence [Witness draws.]
Mr. Jenner.
This is Dr. Jackson's residence you have now drawn?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Would you please----
Mr. Surrey.
And this entire block here is----
Mr. Jenner.
You are pointing to the west?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Along Turtle Creek Drive?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Would you put the word "drive" there.
Mr. Surrey.
It is boulevard.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. Would you repeat your testimony in that connection?
Mr. Surrey.
Another block of residences----
Mr. Jenner.
To the west?
Mr. Surrey.
To the west. And then you come to that field where the new building is going up and the Jesuit high school was.
Mr. Jenner.
And that is the new building you identified in one of the earlier exhibits, and the high school has now been torn down?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. And there was--in the spring of 1963, was there a field there?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes; there still is.
Mr. Jenner.
Where a firearm could have been buried?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
We understand there is a church, a church house, near the Walker home. Am I correct?
Mr. Surrey.
That is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
Would you locate it, please?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes; directly to the east. [Witness draws.] Their driveway comes up between the Walker house, into their parking lot [witness draws], and here is that back alley you showed me a picture of earlier. [Witness draws.]
Mr. Jenner.
Excuse me. For the purpose of the record, the witness has now drawn in what looks like a parking lot area, is that correct?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Is that the church parking lot?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes; it is.
Mr. Jenner.
And where is the church house itself located?
Mr. Surrey.
This entire area. I don't know about the shape of it. But it is in this area.
Mr. Jenner.
Write the word "church" in there. [Witness does so.] What church is that?
Mr. Surrey.
It is a Mormon church.
Mr. Jenner.
And about how far distant from the Walker house is the Mormon church?
Mr. Surrey.
It is on the next lot--I would say 400 feet, maybe.
Mr. Jenner.
What is there intervening, if anything, between the Mormon church buildings and General Walker's home?
Mr. Surrey.
In the way of a fence, you mean?
Mr. Jenner.
Well, first; are there any buildings?
Mr. Surrey.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
Or any sheds or anything of that character?
Mr. Surrey.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
Are there any trees?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes; there are trees.
