Mr. Belin. Now you were not there at the time of the shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby, were you?
Mr. Barnes. No; I was not.
Mr. Belin. Did you see the television showing of the film that ran during the—during that time?
Mr. Barnes. Yes; I did.
Mr. Belin. You have had some experience, you said earlier, as a photographer, I believe, is that correct?
Mr. Barnes. Yes.
Mr. Belin. What is the fact as to whether or not the presence of light such as you say you saw in the movie film that you saw—what is the fact as to whether or not the presence of these lights would affect the ability of officers protecting Lee Harvey Oswald to discern movements of people?
Mr. Barnes. Very much.
Mr. Belin. In what way?
Mr. Barnes. Blinding them. The flash from the many cameras that were present in the basement of the city hall, the lights set up by your TV cameramen, all of this would work against the officers in safeguarding any prisoner.
