Warren Commission (12 of 26): Hearings Vol. XII (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Lieutenant REVILL. No, sir; no, sir. What happened, my people were--the
people, the detectives assigned to my unit and myself were assigned
to the Trade Mart, where Mr. Kennedy was to speak. Upon hearing of
the shooting, three of us, or four of us, went to the Texas School
Book Depository and started a systematical search and there were many,
many officers present at that time. I made a report to Chief Lumpkin
naming all of the officers that I could recall being there. This was
on a Friday. The following Saturday, the next day, we were to locate
witnesses. People who were employed at the School Book Depository,
get them and bring them to Captain Fritz' office. This took all day.
Saturday night we terminated and went home approximately 8 o'clock. The
next morning none of us were assigned to duty. Now, by that I mean the
intelligence unit. I was at home and I saw the shooting on television
and from there I got a phone call to report to Mayor Cabell's home,
because there had been a threat on his life. I went to Washington with
Mr. Cabell that night and got back the next day.
Mr. HUBERT. You haven't, then, spoken to Dean at all about how Ruby got
into the basement or how Ruby, says he got into the basement?
Lieutenant REVILL. I am sure I have discussed it with him, but as far
as a formal interview; no.
Mr. HUBERT. But, in any case, your first knowledge didn't come from any
particular individual, but from the newspaper?
Lieutenant REVILL. Newspaper.
Mr. HUBERT. In your discussion with Dean, do you recall whether he
stated to you how he found out about Ruby's alleged entry through the
Main Street ramp?
Lieutenant REVILL. No, sir; I do not.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know the reserve officer by the name of Holly?
Lieutenant REVILL. Holly? Yes, sir; I talked to Mr. Holly.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you recall the nature of the conversation?
Lieutenant REVILL. Yes, sir; I do.
Mr. HUBERT. Would you tell us about it, please?
Lieutenant REVILL. If I may find the report.
Mr. HUBERT. There is an index there.
Lieutenant REVILL. Yes; and they are filed alphabetically. Ordinarily I
can find it probably easier this way. Holly, yes, Holly was interviewed
and he stated that he had been assigned to a traffic corner and after
the shooting occurred he was reassigned to Parkland Hospital, and
that while there some unknown police reservist told him that he had
observed, or admitted Ruby into the basement of the city hall, and that
Ruby had presented press credentials.
Mr. HUBERT. Well----
Lieutenant REVILL. Well, what we did, we have photographs of all of
the police reserve, and Holly could not identify anyone as being this
officer, or reserve officer.
Mr. HUBERT. Where did this take place, that is to say, where was Holly
shown these pictures?
Lieutenant REVILL. In the city hall, in the special services bureau.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you say that when Holly was interviewed he was
interviewed by Captain Solomon?
