United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. DHORITY. That's what he told me when I was taking the affidavit
from him. Like I say, when I was walking back across the street with
him to the bus he said he wasn't for sure that he did ride down on
Marsalis.
Mr. BALL. Now, on this same night, did you show him this transfer No.
004459?
Mr. DHORITY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Issued by the Dallas Transit Co?
Mr. DHORITY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. And what did he tell you about that?
Mr. DHORITY. He said it was definitely a transfer that he issued and
showed me his punch that he carried and he matched the punch on the
transfer.
Mr. BALL. Now, did Captain Fritz give you some rifle shells to deliver
to somebody?
Mr. DHORITY. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. About what time of the night or day was that?
Mr. DHORITY. I don't recall when it was, but, from his office there I
took them up to the crime lab.
Mr. BALL. Were there three spent 6.5 rifle shells, is that right?
Mr. DHORITY. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Did you return any shells to Captain Fritz?
Mr. DHORITY. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. All of them or one of them?
Mr. DHORITY. No; he told me to bring him one back.
Mr. BALL. You brought one back in an envelope?
Mr. DHORITY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. And Lieutenant Day kept two; is that right?
Mr. DHORITY. That's right.
Mr. BALL. Were you present when paraffin casts were made of Oswald's
hands and his face?
Mr. DHORITY. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Who made them?
Mr. DHORITY. I believe that was Pete Barnes and Johnny Hicks, as well
as I remember.
Mr. BALL. Did you attend another showup?
Mr. DHORITY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. When was that?
Mr. DHORITY. That was about, oh, approximately an hour later after the
McWatters showup and there was a Mrs. Davis there.
Mr. BALL. That was the same day?
Mr. DHORITY. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Tell me, did somebody send you out to her house?
Mr. DHORITY. Yes; Lieutenant Wells sent me out there.
Mr. BALL. What was her first name?
Mr. DHORITY. Well, there were two of them--I don't recall for sure--as
well as I remember--it was Mrs. Jeanette Davis.
Mr. BALL. There were two girls--Virginia and Jeanette?
Mr. DHORITY. Virginia and Jeanette Davis, and I took the affidavit from
Virginia, as well as I recall it.
Mr. BALL. You went from the police department out to the Oak Cliff
region someplace, didn't you?
Mr. DHORITY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Where?
Mr. DHORITY. 400 East 10th.
Mr. BALL. Who sent you out there?
Mr. DHORITY. Lieutenant Wells.
Mr. BALL. Who went with you?
Mr. DHORITY. C. W. Brown.
Mr. BALL. And what address did you go to?
Mr. DHORITY. 400 East 10th.
Mr. BALL. Who did you see there?
Mr. DHORITY. Well, there were quite a few people in the house there,
but we were told to contact Virginia Davis and her sister, Jeanette
Davis.
Mr. BALL. And, did you talk to them?
Mr. DHORITY. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Did they give you anything?
Mr. DHORITY. Virginia gave me a .38 hull.
Mr. BALL. Did she tell you where she got it?
