United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GREGORY. Well, my first impression was, I saw him on television
when they first brought him in, and they didn't mention his name. And
later they said the first suspect being brought in is Lee Oswald. I
felt sure he had not done it. I felt that they probably brought him in
because of his record in the Soviet Union and thought maybe he would be
a likely person, but I did not think he had done it.
The only time I decided he may have done it was when the Secret Service
talked to me and said the evidence looked----
Mr. LIEBELER. Talked to you?
Mr. GREGORY. Yes; it was on a Saturday after the assassination, and
said it looked like he was the one. And my--I more or less reoriented
my thinking that he was the one.
Mr. LIEBELER. Who from the Secret Service talked to you; do you
remember?
Mr. GREGORY. I can't remember. Real nice fellow. Oklahoma City.
Mr. LIEBELER. Mr. Nielsen?
Mr. GREGORY. I think that was it.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he outline the evidence to you relating to Oswald's
alleged guilt?
Mr. GREGORY. No; he just said something that, I think something came
over the radio that the chief of police said he was the one, and then
he made a phone call and he said it looked like he was the one, or
something like that. Something that he identified the gun or, I can't
remember the exact words.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you remember any organizations of which Lee Oswald was
a member during the time you knew him?
Mr. GREGORY. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you ever hear of any organizations to which he
belonged?
Mr. GREGORY. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you know of the names of any people with whom he
associated?
Mr. GREGORY. No; besides his brother and myself. That is it. Oh, then
the Dallas Russians who I have mentioned.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you know a gentleman by the name of Gary Taylor?
Mr. GREGORY. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you know George De Mohrenschildt?
Mr. GREGORY. I think I heard my father mention the name De
Mohrenschildt. I think he is from Dallas.
Mr. LIEBELER. But you do not know him personally, however?
Mr. GREGORY. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. I have no further questions. If there is anything that
you would like to add to the record, we would like to have you do it.
If there is anything you think I should have asked you about that I
haven't, I would like to have you mention it and we will put it on the
record now.
Mr. GREGORY. No; I think you have covered it.
Mr. LIEBELER. In that case, we will terminate the deposition. I want to
thank you very much, Mr. Gregory, for driving all the way from Norman
to Dallas to give us your testimony. The Commission appreciates it very
much.
