Those are the only inquiries I made with reference to the source of the pictures.
Mr. Rankin. Now you may proceed.
Mr. Lane. Yes. I would like to raise one other peripheral matter before going into the evidence, if I might. That is, I would like to call to the attention of the Commission this article, and ask that it be marked as an exhibit.
Mr. Rankin. That has been marked Commission Exhibit 342.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 342, for identification.)
Mr. Lane. Thank you.
This is an article appearing in the New York Journal American Sunday, February 23.
Mr. Rankin. This consists of two separate pages, does it not?
Mr. Lane. It does—the first page being a masthead and front page, headline from the Journal American, dated Sunday, February 23, 1964, and the second page containing a portion of the front page of the Journal American on that date, and a portion of page 15, the continued story of the Journal American on the same date.
This is an article written by Bob Considine, who enjoys a reputation for being an excellent reporter. Mr. Considine states in his article that an eyewitness to the shooting of Officer Tippit by the name of Warren Reynolds was himself recently shot through the head by a man with a rifle.
