“the President’s car was coming down Elm Street and when they got just about to the Arcade I heard what I thought for the moment was a fire cracker and he slumped over and I looked over toward the arcade and trees and saw a puff of smoke come over from the trees and I heard three more shots after the first one but that was the only puff of smoke I saw…"2 dagar efter mordet:

"The only unusual thing that Holland could recall was an approximate one and one-half to two foot diameter of what he believed was gray smoke which appeared to him to be coming from the trees which would have been on the right of the presidential car but observed no one there or in the vicinity.”(11-24-63 FBI report, CD5 p. 49-50)
"I heard a third report and I counted four shots and about the same time all this was happening and in this group of trees…There was a shot, a report, I don’t know whether it was a shot…And a puff of smoke came out about 6 or 8 feet above the ground right out from under those trees…you could see that puff of smoke, like someone had thrown a firecracker, or something out…It wasn’t as loud as the previous reports or shots.”
(4-8-64 testimony before the Warren Commission, 6H239-248)
"I looked over to where I thought the shot came from and I saw a puff of smoke still lingering underneath the trees in front of the wooden fence."

There was a puff of smoke under the trees there like someone had thrown out a Chinese firecracker and a report of a gun entirely different from the one which fired from the book building."

He said in an interview yesterday that one and possibly two shots were fired at the motorcade from behind a wooden fence adjacent to the underpass and some 150 feet from where he was standing..."Four or five of us saw it, the smoke," Holland said. "One of my employees even saw the muzzle flash..."I was close enough to see it and hear it," Holland said. "And if you don't think you can see rifle smoke against a clump of trees, you're mistaken."

"Right under these trees, right at that exact spot, about ten or fifteen feet from this corner, the corner of the fence here, right under this tree, particular tree. It's that exact spot, right there...That's where it was...just like somebody had thrown a firecracker and left a little puff of smoke there; it was just laying there. It was a white smoke; it wasn't a black smoke or like a black powder. It was like a puff of a cigarette, but it was about nine feet off the ground. It would be just about in line with, or maybe just a little bit higher than that fence, but by the time it got out underneath the tree, well, it would be about eight or nine feet." (When asked about Clemon Johnson's suggestion the smoke seen by the railroad men came from a Dallas police motorcycle abandoned on the street after the shooting) "I saw the smoke before the motorcyclist left the street to go up there."

"It came from my left and behind a picket fence, and there was a puff of smoke that kinda lingered out under that green tree right out behind that picket fence about 8 or 9 feet off of the ground."
(Schiller interview as presented on the Capitol Records release The Controversy, 1967)
And I glanced over underneath that green tree and you see a - a little puff of smoke. It looked like a puff of steam or cigarette smoke. And the smoke was about - oh, eight or ten feet off the ground, and about fifteen feet this side of that tree.”
(Interview with CBS broadcast 6-26-67)
''And I saw a puff of smoke come out from that corner and it just didn't hang there but it slowly drifted out under the trees and over the grassy area toward the street below." "The smoke (he added) traveled out about 20 feet from the fence and was located slightly behind a large tree on the knoll."

He had seen a puff of smoke when Kennedy was shot in the head...Dvs, Holland är minst sagt konsistent från och med dag ett och framåt. Han såg en rökpuff driva ut från det vita staketet under träden precis där något som ser ut som en rökpuff syns i Wiegmans och Zapruders filmer, här: https://2718f7c0-a-86436885-s-sites.googlegroups.com/a/patspeer.com/www2/wiegmansmoke.gif?attachauth=ANoY7crKDKBNCSIhGfQRdB 1WDfYUTNs_CjDhU3fRFaVFQsyaf1cvU6awh2TQGjVOUGYVa4Cq rc1w41IxSt208Qp3zQJGo91sBvdNKO1X4qqwZOIgsU8BjmoVvK HaILRgEztNaVYPWoUb21y2UukHRlD-OUdrRBIBb4PDANNpop68 Wd8sj7UhOVRQSpISJ8T8fbmlhXkgK8DGPZ-LzvJbJdv_oPbzWOPYJw%3D%3D&attredirects=1&d=1

"He heard three shots and also noticed a powder dust spray in the street directly to the driver’s side and rear of the car…It was his first impression that the noise of the shots was a motorcycle backfire or firecrackers….he saw someone fall forward but could not tell who was in the car.”

"He said it definitely was smoke he saw 'around the trees in the corner of the picket fence on the grassy knoll.' (When asked if it could have been exhaust) 'No,' he firmly replied. Miller said he felt there had been three shots, that he saw the smoke just as he heard the third shot."

[Säger ingenting om någon rök/fick ej frågan]Här kan man tycka att det finns mindre stöd för ammunitionsrök över grassy knoll, men som vanligt gäller de tidigaste vittnesmålen om inget annat framkommer. Dessutom så säger Miller i de mer sena vittnesmålen att han önskar att han aldrig gick för att se presidentkortegen den dagen, att han har gjort allt för att förtränga händelsen.

He stated he had discussed this matter with his father at the time of the assassination, and his father suggested that he not talk to anyone about this, but after thinking about what he saw, Hoffman stated he decided to tell the FBI.Hoffman hade inga problem med att förmedla denna tämligen komplexa förklaring till utredarna. Därimot hade han uppenbarligen jätte problem med att illustrera en gevärsskytt. Varken gevär eller skytt nämns här.
Hoffman uppger att två män sprang från baksidan av TSBD, norrut och sedan österut. Österut är alltså i riktning från Hoffman.
Hoffman said he observed two white males, clutching something dark to their chests with both hands, running from the rear of the Texas School Book Depository building. The men were running north on the railroad, then turned east, and Hoffman lost sight of both of the men.
