Month In Review -- September --
1964 -- The FBI hastily interviews the superintendent of the Book Depository regarding the cartons on the sixth floor and particularly those cartons at the “sniper’s perch.” The report contains the statement that “there were no cartons on the sixth floor... which could not have been handled by one man.” This interview takes place because someone apparently became concerned that the “cardboard cartons” piled around the sniper’s window to ensure seclusion might have been too heavy to be moved by one man. It is determined that the cartons weighed approximately 50 pounds apiece.

Arnold Louis and Barbara Rowland -- The Rowlands were standing at the west entrance of the Dallas County Records Building on Houston Street, about 150 feet from the sixth floor of the TSBD. Rowland told FBI agents that at 12:15 P.M., 15 minutes before the assassination, he saw a man with a "high-powered rifle" standing about five feet from the southwest corner window, on the other side of the building from the "sniper's nest." Rowland, who had better than 20/20 vision, described the man as 140 to 150 lbs., light-complected, with short-cropped dark hair. He was wearing an unbuttoned light-colored shirt over a T-shirt and dark slacks. In the "sniper's-nest" window, Rowland saw a second man, black, about 55 years old, practically bald and very thin. That man was there until five minutes before the assassination. Rowland assumed the men were Secret Service agents. When the shots were fired, he ran in the direction of the grassy knoll with everyone else. Rowland's wife, Barbara, could not corroborate what her husband had seen. She is nearsighted and was not wearing her glasses. (Why would someone go to a presidential motorcade without glasses?)
