United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
"Dallas, Tex., March 23, 1964, Exhibit 5053, Deposition of M. W.
Stevenson." I am signing it with my name, Leon D. Hubert, Jr.
I am going to ask you to sign your name under mine, and I am
initialling myself, each one of the pages, and I would appreciate it,
if you would also initial each one of the pages.
I am placing my initials on each one of the pages in the lower
right-hand corner of each page.
Mr. STEVENSON. (Initials each page.)
Mr. HUBERT. Mr. Stevenson, I have now signed the first page under
my signature, that being the unnumbered page. I ask you if you have
checked the sequence of pages thereafter and find that they run in
perfect sequence 1 through 34, page 34, being the last page?
Mr. STEVENSON. I have.
Mr. HUBERT. You have also placed your initials on each one of those
pages in the lower right-hand corner below my signature, is that
correct?
Mr. STEVENSON. I have.
Mr. HUBERT. The original of this was signed by you, sir?
Mr. STEVENSON. By Chief Batchelor, Chief Lumpkin, and myself.
Mr. HUBERT. And you delivered that to Chief Curry?
Mr. STEVENSON. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, have you been interviewed by any of the Commission
staff prior to the taking of this deposition?
Mr. STEVENSON. No, sir; I have not.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, let me correct you. You were interviewed by me just
before the beginning of this deposition?
Mr. STEVENSON. Yes; I was. I answered too quick then.
Mr. HUBERT. That interview took place this afternoon for about an hour
and a half, I think, immediately preceding the time that we started to
take the deposition?
Mr. STEVENSON. That's right.
Mr. HUBERT. You have not been interviewed by any other member of the
Commission staff except that interview with me?
Mr. STEVENSON. No, sir; I have not.
Mr. HUBERT. Can you tell me whether you perceive any inconsistency
between the deposition you have given and the interview that I
conducted with you prior to the taking of the deposition?
Mr. STEVENSON. No, sir; I don't believe I can see any inconsistency.
I did do this at your request, or I say with your permission I looked
over some of my notes before the taking of this, and the only thing
that I think was any change made was in answer to Captain Talbert's
question as to what the route of transfer would be.
I think when I discussed it with you prior to the taking of this
deposition, I told you that we told him we thought it would go down
Elm. When I reviewed my notes, it was Main Street that we had told him.
Mr. HUBERT. Now do you know of any other material information that was
covered in the interview that preceded this deposition which has not
been developed during the deposition?
Mr. STEVENSON. No, sir; not that I recall.
Mr. HUBERT. I think that is all unless you have anything else.
Mr. STEVENSON. I don't recall a thing else, Mr. Hubert.
Mr. HUBERT. Thank you very much.
