United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. BELIN. Well, let's mark this as an exhibit. Let's mark this as
"Turner Deposition Exhibit 1," which I will offer to introduce in
evidence.
Do you need this back?
Mr. TURNER. No; I am sure we have other copies. That is a copy I had
in my locker. I mean, that is probably the same. They might have made
a more detailed description of it down at the property room.
Mr. BELIN. All right, what did you do after you left the Beckley
residence?
Did you talk to the landlady there at all? Or not?
Mr. TURNER. Talked to her, but I can't recall her name. There was a
Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Johnson and Earlene Roberts. There were two or
three people there.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember anything that anyone said at that time?
Mr. TURNER. No, sir; I don't. Mr. Potts and Senkel and Cunningham were
waiting for us to bring the warrant, so they had been talking to them
before we did.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember finding a leather gun holster?
Mr. TURNER. Yes, sir; there was a holster found.
Mr. BELIN. Now, what did you do after that?
Mr. TURNER. After we brought this stuff to the office?
Mr. BELIN. Yes.
Mr. TURNER. Well, by that time the phones and everything else were
going wild. I answered phones around there for quite a while. I believe
I did take an affidavit from a sister of the boy that worked with
Oswald at the Texas School Book Depository, the boy that he rode to
work with that morning.
Mr. BELIN. What do you do when you take an affidavit, by the way? How
do you go about doing it?
Mr. TURNER. Well, I just take the--let them tell the story, and write
it down in longhand, and get the secretary to type it up, and let them
sign it in front of a notary.
Mr. BELIN. Do you have an affidavit in front of you or your notes from
this Linnie Mae Randle, this sister of the boy that drove him to work,
or not?
Mr. TURNER. No, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Do you throw those out once the affidavit is typed up?
Mr. TURNER. I don't believe they ever gave it back to us. I guess the
secretary, she might have filed it somewhere.
Mr. BELIN. Anything else you did that day?
Mr. TURNER. That is the only affidavit I can remember taking in this
thing.
Mr. BELIN. All right, what happened? Anything else on that day that you
think is important insofar as the assassination is concerned?
Mr. TURNER. I don't think of anything. Let me look through these notes
here and see about where we are. As far as that day goes, that is about
it.
Mr. BELIN. Let me ask you this. Do you remember when you were out at
1026 North Beckley finding a passport at all? Does that ring a bell
with you?
Mr. TURNER. I think there was a passport, maybe one or two.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember whether or not there was any kind of
vaccination card, one of those yellow health organization vaccination
cards which bears the name of Lee Oswald? Do you remember whether there
was any of those there or not?
Mr. TURNER. I don't recall that.
Mr. BELIN. You don't remember whether there was or was not?
