United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
And I said, "I don't remember anybody, but I do remember seeing three
men on the camera." And, Lowery said the same thing, that he did
remember seeing the three men. But I don't remember anybody coming from
here to the camera.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Let's go ahead now, sir. When you were up there filling
out your report in the homicide office--when you talked with these men
that you finally detained after the shooting, the two men that you
detained, did you describe to them the third man that was with them?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When you asked them where is the third man and he said
there wasn't, what did they say?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. They just told me that there wasn't any, that if there
was a third man there, they didn't know about it.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was anybody else standing with you at the time they said
that?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. I believe Officer Lowery was there at that time. But
the first thing, I went right out there and got a hold of both of them
and asked them, "Where is the other man that came out with them." And
he said, "There wasn't any other man." And I said, "I know there were
three men with you when you came out." And he said, "If there was one
between us, they don't know nothing about it." And I don't remember
whether Officer Lowery was there, but I don't think he was there, but
we did question them again, and I still think there was a third man.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about Officer Swain, did he make that denial to Swain?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. I don't really know, because that is when I left and had
to go up to the first floor. Lowery started getting their names and
they talked to Lieutenant Swain and told them what it was, and he said,
"Go ahead and get their names and ask where they are going to be."
Mr. GRIFFIN. Who was it that came up to you and told you that he had
found out, had an explanation for the third man.
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. Lieutenant Wallace.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How long was that after Sunday, November 24?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. I imagine that was maybe a week or two, because through
their investigation they tried to contact everybody that was down
there. It was quite some time. The exact amount of days, I don't know,
but it was quite some time after that he explained it to us.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When you got up to the homicide office, did Lowery fill
out a report?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did Harrison fill out a report while you were out there?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. I think he did.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you all talk about this when you were up there?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. Yes; I believe we did.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I take it that you were all--as a matter of fact, this was
probably a matter of general interest to everybody up there, don't you
imagine?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. Right.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You think anybody could have been in that office without
knowing what you guys had seen?
