United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. BELIN. Anything else that you have any recollection of in
connection with this showup of Mrs. Markham or Miss Markham's
identification?
Mrs. GRAVES. I don't remember anything outstanding at this moment; no.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember about when this took place, this actual
showup?
Mr. GRAVES. Well, let's see if I have it written down here. We put Lee
Oswald in a four-man lineup in the city hall on November 22, 1963, at
4:30 p.m., and had Helen Markham view this lineup. She was positive on
the identification of Oswald, and he was the No. 2 man in the four-man
lineup.
Mr. BELIN. You were reading from your notes that you made of your
actions on that day?
Mr. GRAVES. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Anything else that you did on that day?
Mr. GRAVES. Well, I don't remember anything else except this affidavit
of Mrs. Mary E. Bledsoe.
Mr. BELIN. That was on November 23, was it not?
Mr. GRAVES. November 23.
Mr. BELIN. I am still on November 22.
Mr. GRAVES. Have you had any of the reports that we have made?
Mr. BELIN. Yes, sir. I have read them all, but I have to get this down
for the record.
Mr. GRAVES. You want me to read this verbatim?
Mr. BELIN. No, sir; you can read it verbatim or else you can tell me
if there is anything that you can develop beyond what you have on the
written record that you submitted to your department.
I am very much interested in this, if you can develop anything. If you
can't, then you can just summarize or repeat what you have put down in
your written report.
Sometimes when you read something it triggers your memory and you
remember something that you might not have put down at the time.
Mr. GRAVES. Offhand, I don't remember anything.
Mr. BELIN. Well, according to your written report, you took Helen
Markham back to her address, to let her out?
Mr. GRAVES. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember in talking with Helen Markham what she said
as to why she happened to be in the vicinity of the Tippit shooting?
Mr. GRAVES. I believe she was going to catch a bus. I would have to
see her affidavit to remember that exactly, but I think she was either
going home or coming from work, one or the other, is the reason for her
being at that location.
Mr. BELIN. Now you also later interviewed on that day several other
people in connection with the Tippit murder, did you not?
Mr. GRAVES. I talked to some; yes.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember who these were?
Mr. GRAVES. That would be Ted Callaway, Sam Guinyard, and Domingo
Benavides.
Mr. BELIN. Did any of those men come down to a lineup?
Mr. GRAVES. They did come down later, but I didn't have anything to do
with the lineup.
Mr. BELIN. Did you have anything to do with bringing them down to see a
lineup?
Mr. GRAVES. No; I did not.
Mr. BELIN. Did all the men come down to a lineup?
Mr. GRAVES. I think they did. I was told that they did, and I have not
seen anything authentic about it.
