Mr. Liebeler. Do you remember saying that?
General Walker. But I will tell you what I did think. I think I said that, right. The police asked me to sit down. You want me to tell you?
Mr. Liebeler. Yes.
General Walker. The police asked me to sit down when I got there and they went through the motions of lining up the shot from inside and outside.
And one policeman said, "He couldn't have missed you." And one said, a lieutenant I believe it was, said, "It was an attempted assassination."
And I said, "What makes you call it that?" And he said, "Because he definitely was out to get you."
And I said, "Your remark sounds like a natural remark." But as I later was analyzing the thing, he couldn't see either with a scope or without a scope. He couldn't see from his position any of the lattice work either in the windows or in the screens because of the light. It would have looked like one big lighted area, and he could have been a very good shot and just by chance he hit the woodwork.
Mr. Liebeler. Which he did in fact?
General Walker. Which he did, and there was enough deflection in it to miss me, except for slivers of the bullet, the casing of the bullet that went into my arm laying on the desk—slivers of the shell jacket.
Mr. Liebeler. I show you a photograph marked Commission Exhibit No. 2 and ask you if you recognize the scene in that picture?
