United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. STEELE. No; I waited for him.
Mr. JENNER. For Oswald?
Mr. STEELE. Yes; I waited for him maybe a minute, or a few seconds--I
don't know how long it was, but it wasn't long.
Mr. JENNER. And then he came?
Mr. STEELE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And somebody was accompanying him?
Mr. STEELE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Did you know that man?
Mr. STEELE. No.
Mr. JENNER. Was he introduced to you?
Mr. STEELE. He was introduced to me, but I don't remember him.
Mr. JENNER. Did you eventually look at these leaflets?
Mr. STEELE. Yes; after a few minutes. When I saw the cameras, I got
suspicious then and looked at one of them.
Mr. JENNER. Did you have two supplies of these leaflets?
Mr. STEELE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Tell me the circumstances. About how many had you given out
at the time you quit?
Mr. STEELE. I had given out one supply and had gone back, and he had
handed me some more, and at that time I seen the cameras, and that's
when I looked to see what I was passing out.
Mr. JENNER. Looked at these leaflets?
Mr. STEELE. Yes; at the leaflets.
Mr. JENNER. All right, and then what happened?
Mr. STEELE. Well, it didn't sound right to me. I don't remember exactly
what it said, but it said something about keeping hands off of Cuba, or
something like that, and it just didn't sound right, and I knew that we
were on bad terms with Cuba.
Mr. JENNER. What did you do then?
Mr. STEELE. I told Oswald that I didn't want any more to do with it,
and I wasn't going to pass out any more leaflets, and he said, "Well,
all right," and he gave me the $2, and I left.
Mr. JENNER. He didn't pursue it any further?
Mr. STEELE. No.
Mr. JENNER. But he went ahead and gave you the $2; is that right?
Mr. STEELE. Yes; and then I walked off.
Mr. JENNER. Did you have any leaflets left when you left the scene?
Mr. STEELE. No. I got rid of the ones I had left.
Mr. JENNER. Do you remember telling the FBI that you threw the
remainder of the leaflets in a trash can there at the scene?
Mr. STEELE. Yes; I threw what I had left in the trash can. I mean, when
I left there, I didn't have any with me.
Mr. JENNER. You threw the remaining leaflets away that you had?
Mr. STEELE. Yes, sir; I threw them in the trash can around there some
place, but after leaving that spot, you know. I mean, the can wasn't
right there where I was passing them out.
Mr. JENNER. Did you have any conversation with Oswald about whether
these leaflets were or were not communistic in nature?
