Warren Commission (07 of 26): Hearings Vol. VII (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember, you yourself, questioning a Howard Leslie
Brennan or anyone questioning a Brennan?
Mr. TURNER. Brennan, let me check. I've got a Charles F. Brehan
[spelling] B-r-e-h-a-n, that I talked to.
Mr. BELIN. No; that is not the one.
Mr. TURNER. Probably I didn't. That was probably the name I was
thinking of when you said Brennan.
Mr. BELIN. All right, while you were there, did you learn that an
officer had been shot?
Mr. TURNER. I did; yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Then what happened?
Mr. TURNER. Well, I stayed down there for quite some time talking
to these witnesses, and then I went back over to the School Book
Depository Building to check and see if my partner was there.
Mr. Senkel hadn't seen him in quite a while and didn't locate him.
There was several officers over there, Special Service, still had the
building secured, and you want this mentioned that coat business in
there?
Mr. BELIN. Yes.
Mr. TURNER. The coat has no bearing on the case.
Mr. BELIN. You mean in your statement I have with reference to a coat
being found on Industrial Street?
Mr. TURNER. Yes, sir; as far as I know, that still has no bearing in
the case, but it was placed in the property room.
Mr. BELIN. You just found a coat somewhere?
Mr. TURNER. Well, a Mr. Kaminski from the police department handed me
a coat when I went back over to the building, with a note of who had
turned it into him, where it was found, and he had no idea whether it
had any bearing on the case or not.
Mr. BELIN. Have you investigated?
Mr. TURNER. As far as I know, the coat does not have any bearing on the
case.
Mr. BELIN. All right, go ahead.
Mr. TURNER. After I left there, I went back to the sheriff's office and
I talked to the one lieutenant in our office then and found out that
Mr. Senkel had gone back to our office, so he in turn, he told me I
might as well come on up there, looked like things, about all I could
do down there.
Mr. BELIN. Then what did you do?
Mr. TURNER. I went to the city hall.
Mr. BELIN. What did you do there?
Mr. TURNER. Well, when I walked in there, one of the lieutenants
was talking about finding a justice of the peace to obtain a search
warrant, and I told him that I just left the sheriff's office and one
of the J.P.'s was down there when I left, David Johnston, and so he
said, "Well, see if you can get ahold of him and get a warrant for this
address on North Beckley and carry the warrant over there."
Mr. BELIN. Would that have been 1026 North Beckley?
Mr. TURNER. Yes, sir; I am sure it is. I have to look in the paper here
a minute; 1026 North Beckley.
Mr. BELIN. All right, what did you do there?
