United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. Next day?
Mr. CROY. I believe it was the next day. No; that was the 22d.
Saturday, I didn't go to the police department that day.
Mr. GRIFFIN. While you were at the scene of the Tippit killing, did you
inquire there as to whether or not you could be of any assistance?
Mr. CROY. Well, when I left, I asked them if they thought they needed
me any longer, and they said, "No," so I left.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, have you been interviewed by an FBI agent or any
agent of the Federal Government with respect to what you have just told
us here?
Mr. CROY. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Have you been interviewed by any member of the Dallas
Police Department with respect to what you have told us here?
Mr. CROY. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did any of the--how many police officers came out to the
scene of the Tippit killing while you were there?
Mr. CROY. I don't know. There was a slew of them. That would be hard to
say.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Were there any officers there that you knew?
Mr. CROY. There were several officers there that I knew. I don't know
their names.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Were there any officers there that you knew?
Mr. CROY. I am sure there is.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you know them?
Mr. CROY. The same way I know them, just by sight.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Well, do you have anything else of value that you know you
could contribute to the Commission?
Mr. CROY. Not that I know of.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you know the name of the woman you talked to across the
street?
Mr. CROY. I don't recall. I think she lived across the street. She was
standing out in front watering her yard or doing something in her yard.
Mr. GRIFFIN. But you have the impression that she lived across the
street, in a house across the street?
Mr. CROY. I believe she did. I am not sure either, or it was in the
neighborhood and she was there in the yard. She was across the street
when it happened.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Well, you stated that she was watering her yard?
Mr. CROY. Or something. She was standing in the yard doing something.
Mr. GRIFFIN. But the first thing you indicated was, she had been
watering her yard? Apparently that was something that stuck with you
from, of course, talking with her?
Mr. CROY. I don't remember what she said she was doing. She was doing
something in the yard, and I presume that is where she lived was across
the street.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, did you have occasion to go to the theatre where
Oswald was apprehended?
Mr. CROY. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Or go near there?
Mr. CROY. I went by it, yes; within a block of it on the way home.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Had Oswald been apprehended by the time you got there?
Mr. CROY. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How do you know that?
Mr. CROY. They were on their way up there. There had been a report that
he had gone into the Texas Theatre.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Were you listening to your police radio?
