Warren Commission (10 of 26): Hearings Vol. X (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
At that moment also he start to agree with I, Oswald start to agree
with my point of view and he show real interest in the fight against
Castro. He told me that he was against Castro and that he was against
communism. He told me--he asked me first for some English literature
against Castro, and I gave him some copies of the Cuban report printed
by the Cuban Student Directorate.
After that, Oswald told me that he had been in the Marine Corps and
that he had training in guerrilla warfare and that he was willing to
train Cubans to fight against Castro. Even more, he told me that he was
willing to go himself to fight against Castro. That was on August 5.
I turned down his offer. I told him that I don't have nothing to do
with military activities, that my only duties here in New Orleans are
propaganda and information and not military activities. That was my
answer to him.
He insisted, and he told me that he will bring to me next day one book
as a present, as a gift to me, to train Cubans to fight against Castro.
Before he left----
Mr. LIEBELER. Was Geraci present throughout this entire conversation?
Mr. BRINGUIER. Pardon?
Mr. LIEBELER. Was Mr. Geraci present throughout this entire
conversation that you had with Oswald?
Mr. BRINGUIER. I think so, yes, sir; yes, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER. Was there a Mr. Blalock there?
Mr. BRINGUIER. Who?
Mr. LIEBELER. Blalock, B-l-a-l-o-c-k. Do you remember him?
Mr. BRINGUIER. Well, there was another young boy. What was his name did
you say?
Mr. LIEBELER. Blalock, B-l-a-l-o-c-k.
Mr. BRINGUIER. I could not tell you, because I don't remember the name
of the other boy who was there, but I think that I saw him just one
time in my life. Geraci was with another person over there, another
young boy, and----
Mr. LIEBELER. Did Oswald mention during this conversation that he could
easily derail a train, for example, by securing and fastening a chain
around the railroad track? Do you remember him mentioning something
like that?
Mr. BRINGUIER. Well, you see; I do not exactly remember all the
details, because we were talking for about--I believe about 1 hour,
something like that, and at that moment I didn't know what was going to
happen and I didn't pay too much attention to all the things that was
being telling over there, but the result of the conversation were this
that I am telling to you. Maybe he mentioned that. I could not tell
to you that he mentioned that, because I am not--I don't remember. He
could have mentioned that, because he was talking about the experience
that he had in guerrilla warfare in the Marine Corps.
Before he left the store, he put his hand in the pocket and he offered
me money.
Mr. LIEBELER. Oswald did?
Mr. BRINGUIER. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. How much did he offer you?
