United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. TURNER. Well, Detective Moore was in the office. He and I got a car
and drove down by the, back down to the sheriff's office, and when we
got there, Judge Johnston and one of the assistant district attorneys,
Bill Alexander, was standing on the front steps waiting for us, because
someone got ahold of him by phone and told them I was on the way.
Mr. BELIN. Was that Detective H. M. Moore?
Mr. TURNER. Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Then what did you do?
Mr. TURNER. We went on over, the four of us--me, Detective Moore, Judge
Johnston, and Mr. Alexander--went over to 1026 North Beckley where this
Lee Oswald had a room in it.
Mr. BELIN. You went over there on November 22?
Mr. TURNER. Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Now according to one record that I have of a search warrant,
it is dated November 23. Do you have any particular knowledge whether
the search warrant was actually dated November 22 or November 23?
Mr. TURNER. I don't remember the date on it, but I know he had the
warrant made out, and handed it to me when I got in the car, but I
don't remember the date on the warrant.
Mr. BELIN. Then what did you do?
Mr. TURNER. We looked through this room and picked up everything in it
that didn't belong with the house, you know.
Mr. BELIN. Where was W. E. Potts and Bill Senkel?
Mr. TURNER. They were along with Lieutenant Cunningham and the three
were there when we got there.
Mr. BELIN. Then what did you do?
Mr. TURNER. We picked up all the articles and brought them to the
homicide and robbery office of the city hall.
Mr. BELIN. You made out an inventory of them there?
Mr. TURNER. Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. I am handing you what has been marked "Moore Deposition
Exhibit 1," and ask you to state whether this appears to be a copy of
an inventory that you made?
Mr. TURNER. I think all of this----
Mr. BELIN. Just a second----
Mr. TURNER. We got stuff out of two or three different places. Here is
the typed-up list of the copies that I made.
Mr. BELIN. You made a typed-up list of things that you picked up at
1026 North Beckley?
Mr. TURNER. Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Are these the things that you picked up?
Mr. TURNER. That is the same that was picked up there.
Mr. BELIN. Was this a complete list, or might there have been other
things?
Mr. TURNER. There is some articles of clothing that is not listed. It
is just listed as miscellaneous clothing and so forth.
Mr. BELIN. This is your original?
Mr. TURNER. No, sir; that is a carbon.
Mr. BELIN. This is a carbon? Who typed the carbon?
Mr. TURNER. Well, the carbon was made at the time the original was made
by one of the secretaries in the--our office.
Mr. BELIN. Who dictated it?
Mr. TURNER. Well, that is a different thing. She took it out of this
notebook, and Mr. Moore wrote part of it in the notebook and I wrote
part.
Mr. BELIN. In other words, these are copies [of] notebooks that you had?
Mr. TURNER. Yes, sir.
