Mr. STEELE. About 170, 175, I guess. Mr. JENNER. How tall are you? Mr. STEELE. Six feet. Mr. JENNER. Would this man have been about your height? Mr. STEELE. I guess so, but it didn't seem like he was quite as tall as I am. Mr. JENNER. Do you think he was more slender than you? Mr. STEELE. Yes. Mr. JENNER. How was he dressed? Mr. STEELE. Sport shirt, as far as I can remember. Mr. JENNER. White or colored, or what? Mr. STEELE. I don't even remember the man right now, to tell you the truth. I just have a very vague recollection of what he looked like. Mr. JENNER. But you are sure he was slender built? Mr. STEELE. Yes, sir. Mr. JENNER. Now, you have the right, if you wish to exercise it, of reading over your deposition and signing it, or you may waive that right and let the court reporter transcribe your testimony, and it will be forwarded direct to Washington. What do you prefer to do? Mr. STEELE. Well, I will do what you consider best. Mr. JENNER. Well, you are willing to waive the necessity of reading your deposition and signing it then? Mr. STEELE. Yes, sir. Mr. JENNER. All right. Is there anything else that occurred that you haven't told me about, or that I haven't asked you about, that would be of assistance to the Commission? Mr. STEELE. No; I can't think of anything else. Mr. JENNER. All right. Thank you for coming in voluntarily and testifying. TESTIMONY OF CHARLES HALL STEELE, SR. The testimony of Charles Hall Steele, Sr., was taken on April 7, 1964, at the Old Civil Courts Building, Royal and Conti Streets, New Orleans, La., by Mr. Albert E. Jenner, Jr., assistant counsel of the President's Commission. Charles Hall Steele, Sr., 1488 Madrid Street, New Orleans, La., after first being duly sworn, testified as follows: Mr. JENNER. You are Mr. Charles Hall Steele, Sr., is that right? Mr. STEELE. Right. Mr. JENNER. And you have seen the letter received by your son from Mr. Rankin, general counsel of the President's Commission, have you not? Mr. STEELE. Yes. Mr. JENNER. You have read it? Mr. STEELE. Yes. Mr. JENNER. Did you also read the documents that were enclosed with that letter? Mr. STEELE. No, sir. Mr. JENNER. Well, those documents, Mr. Steele, consist of Senate Joint Resolution 137, authorizing the creation of the Commission to investigate the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy; the Executive Order No. 11130 of President Lyndon B. Johnson, appointing that Commission and fixing its powers and its duties, and a copy of the rules and regulations under which we take testimony before the Commission and also by deposition, as in this case.
