Handwritten firsthand account of Orr’s experience as a witness of the assassination, two pages, 8.5 x 11, signed at the top in black ballpoint, “Maurice Orr.” In part: “I was standing on the curb on Elm St. about halfway between the corner and the triple underpass. I say about 20 or 30 feet from the car they were riding in. If he shot out of the Book Depository Bldg. then the shots went right over my head…The first I saw was the First Lady jump to the Pres., then one or two of the CIA or SS men lay down over them as to protect them…Of course it’s been many years but I still feel I heard 5 shots. There was so much going on at the time I could talk an hour on things I saw…I don’t remember talking to anyone of responsibility.” Also includes an ALS signed “Maurice,” one page, 6 x 8, no date, transmitting the firsthand account and describing where in Dallas he lived. In overall fine condition. RR Auction COA.
