Mr. MARTELLO. For 6 years I was assigned to patrol, precincts, and districts. For the next 6 years I was assigned as an instructor at the New Orleans Police Academy. For the following 2 years I was the deputy commander of the Intelligence Division of the New Orleans Police Department, and since that time I have been a platoon commander in the First District Police Station. Mr. LIEBELER. Did there come a time in August of 1963 when you heard or heard of or became acquainted with Lee Harvey Oswald? Mr. MARTELLO. That is correct, sir. He was arrested on Canal Street on a Friday, the Friday prior to my interview, and upon coming to work on Saturday morning, as a routine matter I checked the arrest records, noted the charge, observed some placards marked as evidence, saw that they were signed by the Fair Play for Cuba [Committee], and decided to interview the person who I later found out was Lee Harvey Oswald, the subject who was arrested. Mr. LIEBELER. Did you subsequently interview Oswald? Mr. MARTELLO. That is correct, sir. Mr. LIEBELER. Was this a part of an official investigation conducted by the New Orleans Police Department? Mr. MARTELLO. Yes, sir; it was. It was to ascertain primarily that all parties, all of us law enforcement agencies, that would be interested would be notified; also to ascertain if the various agencies within our department were notified, and also to obtain any information that would be of value to the Department concerning any future demonstrations that this person or persons affiliated with him may perform in the city, so that we would be prepared for such eventualities. Mr. LIEBELER. At the time you interviewed Oswald, were you acting as platoon commander of the first district? Mr. MARTELLO. At that time I was the deputy commander of the first district, which was a position whereby I was to assist the captain in all phases of police work involving the first district area. Mr. LIEBELER. And the first district of the New Orleans Police Department was the district in which this difficulty in which Oswald was involved occurred? Is that correct? Mr. MARTELLO. That is correct, sir. Mr. LIEBELER. Do you have various headquarters of the New Orleans Police Department broken down by district? Mr. MARTELLO. Yes. Mr. LIEBELER. And you have a station house for the first district and for other districts? Mr. MARTELLO. Yes. Mr. LIEBELER. Was Oswald confined in the stationhouse for the first district at that time? Mr. MARTELLO. That is correct, sir. He was confined in the first district, which is located at 501 North Rampart Street. Mr. LIEBELER. Did you make any notes of your interview with Oswald at the time you interviewed him?
