United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. LIEBELER. You meant some Anti-Castro Cuban organization?
Mr. BLALOCK. Yes, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER. So the best you can recall, Oswald didn't say that he had
recently visited someone in the Cosa Nostra?
Mr. BLALOCK. No, sir. Yes, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER. But you do recall sort of vaguely that Oswald did say
that he had been in Florida and he had visited an Anti-Castro Cuban
organization there?
Mr. BLALOCK. Yes, sir; I do.
Mr. LIEBELER. Can you remember anything else about this incident in the
store that day when Oswald came in?
Mr. BLALOCK. Oh, he said he lived on Magazine Street.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he give his exact address to you? Do you remember?
Mr. BLALOCK. I don't believe he gave his exact address, but I couldn't
say for sure.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he say anything about whether he was working or not,
whether he had a job?
Mr. BLALOCK. I don't remember if he said anything about his job.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he tell you anything about his background? Did he say
he was from New Orleans or anything about that?
Mr. BLALOCK. No, sir; I don't remember anything about that.
Mr. LIEBELER. Can you think of anything else that happened?
Mr. BLALOCK. Philip Geraci and I started following him home after we
both left the store. Oswald, Philip and I both left the store about
the same time. We started to follow Oswald to his house just out of
curiosity, and I recollect that Oswald said he would give us his Marine
manual if we ever came back, if we contacted him.
Mr. LIEBELER. That he would give you the Marine manual if you saw each
other at the store again?
Mr. BLALOCK. At the store or just saw each other, if we would contact
him and get it, we could have it. If he saw us again, he would give it
to us.
Mr. LIEBELER. How long did you continue to follow him home? Did you
just walk out and walk down the street with him, or did you sort of
shadow him or----
Mr. BLALOCK. No, sir. We walked out the door. We both started different
directions, and Philip and I said, "Why don't we follow him and get the
Marine manual now, nothing else to do." We started to go to the corner,
and we didn't see him, so we went on our way.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you ever see the Marine manual?
Mr. BLALOCK. No, sir; I didn't.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you ever talk to Mr. Bringuier again after that?
Mr. BLALOCK. No, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER. You never saw Carlos again until just today----
Mr. BLALOCK. No, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER. When you saw him come out of this room and leave the
building?
Mr. BLALOCK. Yes, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER. Are you and Philip good friends?
Mr. BLALOCK. I wouldn't say real close friends, but we are friends.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you talk about this incident or talk about Oswald at
all after this time but prior to the assassination?
Mr. BLALOCK. No, sir; I don't believe we did. We talked about the Cuban
Student Organization.
