(Testimony of Robert Alan Surrey)

Mr. Surrey.
Yes, the policeman said he had found that bullet, on top of the packages.
Mr. Jenner.
Shown in Exhibit No. 1009?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Was that portion of the bullet exhibited to you on that occasion?
Mr. Surrey.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
You did not see it?
Mr. Surrey.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
Was the statement that the bullet had been found on the opposite side of that wall made in the presence of General Walker?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes
Mr. Jenner.
What did General Walker say when that statement was made in his presence, if anything?
Mr. Surrey.
I don't recall that he made any statement.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he say anything about where the spent bullet had been found?
Mr. Surrey.
Not at that time, no. Not to me.
Mr. Jenner.
Well, did he say it to an officer in your presence?
Mr. Surrey.
Not that I recall.
Mr. Jenner.
Was it uttered by him at all in your presence on that evening?
Mr. Surrey.
Not that I recall.
Mr. Jenner.
That is, that the spent bullet had been found on the opposite side of the wall next to which he had been sitting?
Mr. Surrey.
No; I think the policeman said it, and that is all that was said.
Mr. Jenner.
But it was said in General Walker's presence?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes; it was.
Mr. Jenner.
What did the policeman say?
Mr. Surrey.
He said the bullet went clean through the wall and they found it laying on the packages in the other room.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he say they found it or "I found it"?
Mr. Surrey.
He said, "I found it" as I recall.
Mr. Jenner.
Proceed in your chronology, please.
Mr. Surrey.
That is all there was to it. Then he started getting calls from newsmen, and newsmen coming to the door.
Mr. Jenner.
First, you went out and looked around the premises.
Mr. Surrey.
Yes; but it was quite dark at this time, and they said, "We will come back in the morning."
Mr. Jenner.
I should have asked you this. Perhaps I just assumed it. Was it dark when you arrived at General Walker's home?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes; it was.
Mr. Jenner.
When does it get dark in Dallas, Tex. in this area in the spring?
Mr. Surrey.
I would say 7.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you have daylight saving time in Dallas?
Mr. Surrey.
No; we don't.
Mr. Jenner.
And you are on what time?
Mr. Surrey.
Central standard.
Mr. Jenner.
Central standard time?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Well----
Mr. Surrey.
It is 2 hours from here.
The Chairman.
Two hours from here when we have daylight savings.
Mr. Surrey.
You have daylight saving now?
The Chairman.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Only 1 hour then.
Mr. Surrey.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
After looking around, you say newspapermen began to come.
Mr. Surrey.
That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
And interview General Walker?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
In your presence?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And in the presence of the policemen?
