The following is a compilation by Gil Jesus of the descriptions given by witnesses who saw the men in the alleged Sniper's Nest window.

ARNOLD ROWLAND described an elderly negro male with a plaid shirt and thin hair lean out of the "Oswald" window. He also said that he had observed a caucasian or light latin male with a rifle at the other end of the 6th floor. (Crossfire p.20) He testified to the Warren Commission but they discounted it.
AMOS EUINS described a "colored" man with a rifle lean out of the sixth floor window. Euins said that he saw the man shoot twice. Thought the rifle was an automatic. (Rush to Judgment) Following threats, he recanted his story to the Warren Commission.
JOHN POWELL was a prisoner in the county jail who claimed to see two men adjusting the scope of a rifle. One was dark-skinned and appeared to be Latin, wearing brownish or duller clothes like work clothes. (High Treason p.228) He was never called to testify to the WC. Apparently convicts have bad eyesight.
ROBERT E. EDWARDS and RONALD B. FISCHER said that they had seen a man in a white t-shirt or light-colored sport shirt in the 6th floor window. The man was staring transfixed down Elm Street toward the Triple Overpass.
RUBY HENDERSON said that she had seen two men in the upper floor of the Texas School Book Depository. She thought that one was either Mexican or Negro, because his skin was dark. He was wearing a white shirt. The other man had a dark shirt. (Reasonable Doubt P.93; Crossfire P.21) She reported this to the FBI in 1963, but was never called to testify to the Warren Commission.
CAROLYN WALTHER saw two men on the 4th or 5th floor of the TSBD. One was holding a rifle, which he pointed down at the street. He was wearing a white shirt and had blond or light brown hair. The second man had a brown suit coat on. (High Treason P.140; Reasonable Doubt P. 93; Crossfire P. 20-21) When she reported it to the FBI in 1963, the FBI told her that she saw "boxes". The was never called to testify to the Warren Commission. The FBI never explained what type of "box" wore a white shirt and was capable of holding a rifle.
RICHARD RANDOLPH CARR said that he saw a heavy-set man wearing a hat, horn-rimmed glasses and a tan sport coat on the sixth floor "Oswald" window. After the shooting, he saw the man walking on Commerce St. He followed him, and observed him get into a Nash Rambler that was parked facing north on Houston Street. He described the driver of the Rambler as dark-skinned, possibly Spanish or Cuban. When he reported what he saw, Carr was intimidated by the FBI and told to "keep his mouth shut". He was never called to testify to the Warren Commission. (High Treason p. 140; On The Trail of the Assassins p. 279)
SHERIFF's DEPUTY ROGER CRAIG may have seen the same man driving the same Rambler. He stated that he saw the Dallas Police stop a man at the intersection of Elm and Houston shortly after the shooting. The man spoke only in Spanish, so the police let him go. Shortly after, Craig saw the same man drive by behind the wheel of a Rambler wagon. The vehicle, he said, drove down Elm St toward the overpass, when a man ran down the grassy knoll and got into it. That man, Craig said, was Lee Harvey Oswald. (O.T.T. p.279)
