United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. ADAMCIK. Well, I went home, and about 10 or shortly before 10,
I came in, and Captain Fritz asked Detectives Rose and Stovall; and
Detective Moore--at this time he was a regular partner of Rose and
Stovall--asked me, since I was there the previous day, to go along back
to Mrs. Paine's house for a little more complete search.
Mr. BELIN. Did you have a search warrant at this time?
Mr. ADAMCIK. Yes; we stopped by and got a search warrant from Judge Joe
B. Brown, Jr., over in Oak Cliff, and came by his house and picked up
the search warrant.
Mr. BELIN. What did you do when you got to the house?
Mr. ADAMCIK. We got out to the house. I didn't have a search warrant.
One of the other detectives did. They told us to come on in, and they
were there.
I remember at the time we came in, that they were going grocery
shopping, and they left and just told us to look at anything we wanted
to.
Mr. BELIN. The previous day had you taken anything out of the house?
Mr. ADAMCIK. I didn't.
Mr. BELIN. Did any of the officers take anything out of the house?
Mr. ADAMCIK. Yes; some of the other officers did.
Mr. BELIN. What did they take?
Mr. ADAMCIK. I don't recall. I believe they took some camera equipment.
It might have been a movie camera or projector. I didn't take anything.
I know they took some items.
Mr. BELIN. Anything else that you remember?
Mr. ADAMCIK. No; there weren't too many items the first day.
Mr. BELIN. What about the second day?
Mr. ADAMCIK. The second day we made a pretty complete search. We went
mainly in the garage. We had also an Irving police officer. It was, I
think, Detective McCabe from the Irving police department. And we went
through the house and garage.
Mr. BELIN. What did you take with you?
Mr. ADAMCIK. Well, we picked up--I got a list of it, also, which we
turned over to the FBI, but we picked up items such as letters and
pictures and oh, just a whole bunch of items.
Mr. BELIN. Did you find the picture of Oswald with the rifle?
Mr. ADAMCIK. I didn't find it. It was found while I was back in the
garage.
Mr. BELIN. That was found in the garage?
Mr. ADAMCIK. Right.
Mr. BELIN. Any comments about that at all?
Mr. ADAMCIK. Naturally, when somebody found it, we all looked at it,
and everybody said, "That looks like the rifle that was used in the
assassination."
Mr. BELIN. Was Mrs. Paine or Mrs. Oswald there?
Mr. ADAMCIK. No. At that time they weren't there. They were grocery
shopping.
Mr. BELIN. Did you show the picture to them later on?
Mr. ADAMCIK. The picture was shown to them, but it wasn't there at the
scene, and it was shown at the office, I understand.
Mr. BELIN. You weren't there when it was done?
Mr. ADAMCIK. No; I wasn't.
Mr. BELIN. Anything else?
