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
With respect to the second document, it seems to be a copy of an
interview of you made by FBI Agent Leo Robertson on December 10, 1963,
and I am marking on the margin of the first page, as follows: "Dallas,
Tex., April 15, 1964, Exhibit 5314, deposition of Chief J. E. Curry,"
and I am signing my name at the bottom of that page, and since the
document has a second page, I am placing my initials at the bottom of
the second page.
Now, I am going to ask you if you would mind signing your name where
my name appears and your initials where my initials are, so that the
record will show we both are talking about the same document?
Mr. CURRY. Okay.
(Signed document as requested by Counsel Hubert.)
Mr. HUBERT. Then I am going to ask you whether you have any comments to
make about those two documents? Would you initial the second page, too?
Mr. CURRY. Yes; I will.
(Witness Curry initialed instruments as requested by Counsel Hubert.)
Mr. HUBERT. Now, Chief, have you had an opportunity to read both of
those documents?
Mr. CURRY. Yes; I looked them over.
Mr. HUBERT. Do they represent the truth so far as you know of the
interviews that they purport to cover?
Now, if you have any comments to make or deletions or modifications or
changes, or if you find that those documents are incorrect, I would
like for you to say so, because what we will have to do is to get into
the record what is correct and not what is not correct.
Mr. CURRY. [Examining instruments as referred to.] Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Are they correct, sir? Do you have any comments or
deletions?
Mr. CURRY. No; I don't have any comments. As far as I know--as far as I
can recall, this is about what happened.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, have you ever been interviewed by any member of the
Commission's staff prior to this time?
Mr. CURRY. No, sir; I had a little conversation with you over in my
office.
Mr. HUBERT. That was about 2 weeks ago when I was present in Dallas?
Mr. CURRY. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Was there anything that occurred during that conversation
that has not been covered here?
Mr. CURRY. Not to my knowledge.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, finally, is there anything at all you would like to
make a matter of record concerning this whole thing? You are at liberty
to say anything you want to say.
Mr. CURRY. No; the only thing I would like to say is that I deeply
regret the incidents that occurred and I feel like we did everything
that could be expected of us as a police department to set up the
security of the President and to cooperate with all agencies that had a
responsibility in this matter, that we certainly would have liked for
Oswald to have remained alive and faced trial.
According to the information that was given to me by the homicide
bureau, we had developed a very good case on him and would have been
able to, I'm sure, would have been able to convict him in a court of
law.
