Warren Commission (04 of 26): Hearings Vol. IV (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Senator COOPER. Since the assassination, have you had any actual
factors or any evidence or information of any kind which would indicate
that any person other than Oswald was involved in the assassination of
President Kennedy?
Mr. CURRY. No, sir; I have not.
Mr. DULLES. Was any investigation made of, I believe it was Weissman,
or somebody by that name, who inserted this advertisement to which
Senator Cooper referred, was any particular investigation made?
Mr. CURRY. Not any investigation by us.
(At this point, Representative Ford withdrew from the hearing room.)
Mr. McCLOY. I have one question.
Did you since the assassination or before have any information or any
credible information which would indicate that there was any connection
between Ruby and Oswald?
Mr. CURRY. No, sir; we were not able to establish any connection
between them.
Mr. McCLOY. You made a thorough investigation of that?
Mr. CURRY. Yes, sir; we made every attempt to prove or disprove an
association between them, and we were not able to connect the two.
Mr. McCLOY. Do you intend to ask the chief about the General Walker
episode?
Mr. RANKIN. Yes; and also about the Ruby episode.
Mr. McCLOY. I think that is all I have at the moment.
Mr. RANKIN. Chief, I put in front of you there as Exhibit 705, now
marked as "Exhibit 705," your radio log that you have just been looking
at and referred to, is that right?
Mr. CURRY. Yes, sir.
Mr. RANKIN. Will you turn to the page there where you find the first
broadcast of the description of the suspect of the assassination of the
President? Is that on your page 6 or thereabouts?
Mr. CURRY. The pages--yes, it is page 6, channel 1.
Mr. RANKIN. Will you tell what time of the day that is recorded as
having been made?
Mr. CURRY. This shows at the end the broadcast to be 12:45 p.m. It
would be on November 22d.
Mr. RANKIN. Mr. Chairman, I would like to offer Exhibit 705 being
this radio log which covers a great many matters, but in light of the
importance of the time and the description and all, I think the entire
log should go in and then we can refer to different items in it.
Mr. DULLES. It will be admitted as Commission's Exhibit No. 705.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 705, and
received in evidence.)
Mr. RANKIN. Now, will you read to the Commission a description that was
given at that time of the suspect of the assassination?
Mr. CURRY. The broadcast reads as follows: "Attention all squads.
Attention all squads. At Elm and Houston, reported to be an unknown
white male, approximately 30, slender build, height 5 feet 10 inches,
165 pounds. Reported to be armed with what is believed to be a
.30-caliber rifle.
"Attention all squads, the suspect is believed to be white male, 30, 5
feet 10 inches, slender build, 165 pounds, armed with what is thought
to be a .30-.30 rifle. No further description or information at this
time. KKB there 64 Dallas, and the time given as 12:45 p.m."
