Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. BELIN. He said he heard the shots were from the Texas School Book
Depository, and he said that he knew that Oswald worked there, and
immediately thought of him, and wondered if he might have shot the
President?
Mr. ADAMCIK. That is what he said.
Mr. BELIN. He says he wondered if he should call the FBI. Is that what
he says in the affidavit?
Mr. ADAMCIK. That's right, exactly.
Mr. BELIN. He says he thought it unlikely that he shot the President.
Did he say that he thought it was unlikely that Oswald shot the
President?
Mr. ADAMCIK. Yes; he said that. And then he explained why he didn't
call the FBI. He said he figured that--he did mention that the FBI knew
about Oswald and that they would probably have contacted him and would
consider him a suspect without him having to call them.
Mr. BELIN. Did he say why the FBI knew about Oswald?
Mr. ADAMCIK. No; he didn't.
Mr. BELIN. Anything else you can think of, sir?
Mr. ADAMCIK. No; I believe that is it. After we picked him up and took
this affidavit just shortly after, I went on home and that was the end
of it, until Sunday. Sunday I was off, and everything happened down
there, luckily.
Mr. BELIN. Luckily you were off?
Mr. ADAMCIK. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Sir; we want to thank you for your cooperation for coming
down here. You have an opportunity to either let the deposition go
directly to Washington, or you can come back and read it and sign
it. You can waive the signing, or come back and read it and sign it,
whatever you want to do.
Mr. ADAMCIK. About how long would it be before it is ready?
Mr. BELIN. Several days. You want to sign, or just let her send it on
to us?
Mr. ADAMCIK. I would kind of like to look at it.
Mr. BELIN. All right, this lady will get in touch with you and you can
take a look at it.
Mr. ADAMCIK. Okay.
