Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. BELIN. If you don't have a search warrant, what is your procedure
when you come to the door? Just what do you do?
Mr. MOORE. If we do not have a search warrant?
Mr. BELIN. Yes.
Mr. MOORE. Well, it would all depend on why we were going, really. If
we got a search warrant, if we were looking for stolen property, or
things of that nature, we would most probably have one. If we did not
have one, if people invited us in, it would be legal to be in the house
anyway. And if they don't invite us in, or tell us we can't enter, then
in all probability we will get a search warrant and go in anyway.
Mr. BELIN. Anything else you can think of that is important in any way
that bears on this investigation?
Mr. MOORE. No.
Mr. BELIN. Officer Moore, do we call you officer or detective or mister?
Mr. MOORE. Either way.
Mr. BELIN. You have an opportunity, if you like, to come back and read
this deposition and sign it before it comes to us in Washington, or
you can just waive signing and let the court reporter send it to us
directly in Washington. Do you have any preference or not?
Mr. MOORE. No.
Mr. BELIN. You want to sign, or do you want to waive signing it?
Mr. MOORE. What is the procedure?
Mr. BELIN. Well, if you sign it, you come back and read it and then you
sign it if it is accurate; otherwise, you leave it and we assume the
court reporter is accurate, and she will send it to us as the record of
your testimony here.
Mr. MOORE. I believe I would rather read it. No reflection on the
reporter.
Mr. BELIN. Well, she is too nice a reporter. If you would like to read
it, why you certainly have that right, and the reporter will be getting
in touch with you. Do we have your address, or can she contact you at
the Dallas Police Department?
Mr. MOORE. Yes; she can.
Mr. BELIN. You can come in and read it and she will send it to us.
Mr. MOORE. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. We thank you very much for your splendid cooperation.
Good-bye.
