United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. Well, I think in most cases it is not really necessary,
except from the attorney's standpoint.
Mr. CROY. He gets paid for doing nothing anyway.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Well, some of them do.
Mr. CROY. This one does.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Are you an attorney?
Mr. CROY. No. I have my own attorney.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I shouldn't have asked that question. All right, if it is
agreeable with you, I will ask you to raise your right hand and I will
administer the oath.
Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to give is the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Mr. CROY. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Will you give us your full name?
Mr. CROY. Kenneth Hudson Croy.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Where do you live?
Mr. CROY. 1658 Glenfield.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Is that in Dallas?
Mr. CROY. Dallas, Tex.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When were you born?
Mr. CROY. February 21, 1937.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What is your occupation?
Mr. CROY. I have several.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Let's have them in order.
Mr. CROY. I am in the real estate business. I have a Mobil service
station. I am in the steel erection business. And I am a professional
cowboy, and that is about it that I can think of right now.
Mr. GRIFFIN. We Yankees up North don't know what professional cowboys
are.
Mr. CROY. Rodeo. You got rodeos up North.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes; they come up once in a while and alternate with
circuses. How long have you been doing that?
Mr. CROY. Oh, about 12 years.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I would not like to waste all the court reporter's time
talking about this, I don't think the Commission would probably be too
interested.
Are you also connected in some way with the Dallas Police Department?
Mr. CROY. I am in the reserves.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How long have you been in the reserves.
Mr. CROY. Since August of 1959.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you hold any rank in the reserves?
Mr. CROY. I am a sergeant.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, I am going to take out a little time here and mark
two documents. One of them is a report of an interview that you had on
December 4, 1963, with FBI Agents John E. Dallman and R. Neil Quigley.
I have marked this particular document that I just referred to "Dallas,
Tex., Mr. Croy, 3-26-64, Exhibit 5051."
I want to hand this to you, Mr. Croy, and ask you if you have had an
opportunity to read that over?
Mr. CROY. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Let me ask you this: Do you have any additions, deletions,
or corrections that you feel should be made in that report?
Mr. CROY. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. If you are satisfied with the report, let me ask you then
to sign it and date it.
Mr. CROY. Where at?
Mr. GRIFFIN. On the front page there some place near where we have
marked it with an exhibit number, some conspicuous spot.
Mr. CROY. [Signs name.]
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, I am marking what purports to be a copy of a letter
dated November 26, 1963, addressed to Chief Curry and signed by you in
the following manner: "Dallas, Tex., Mr. Croy, 3-26-64, Exhibit 5052."
