Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Captain JONES. Let me check on this now for sure. That is--yes; that is
all right now.
Mr. HUBERT. All right. And Exhibit 5055.
Captain JONES. May I ask you a question?
Mr. HUBERT. Yes, sir.
Captain JONES. Now then, the instructions about checking that, you
want to get to that later that I got--where Chief Batchelor and Chief
Stevenson----
Mr. HUBERT. What I want to do is get through these documents.
Captain JONES. All right, sir. Now, our next exhibit. That would be
5055?
Mr. HUBERT. Yes. That is the letter addressed on November 26th, to
Chief J. E. Curry?
Captain JONES. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. This is a copy of the original which apparently was signed
by you?
Captain JONES. Yes, sir; that's right.
Mr. HUBERT. I think you have read it.
Captain JONES. I have read it, and only one thing on that. That is on
page 2, at the top--where I had two different directions running from
the jail office door across the ramp running east, and then I turned
and went south, and we called that east, too, but it is--only thing the
right is running, instead of east, should have read south.
Mr. HUBERT. Where is that, sir?
Captain JONES. All right, sir. I will show you. Up here this word
"east," probably should be "south."
Mr. HUBERT. Suppose we change that from "this point running east," and
I will encircle it and put the word "south," and putting my own initial
below the change, and ask you if you would----
Captain JONES. Running east from the door of the jail office to the
rail on the opposite side, and down a line from this point running
south. Yes, sir; that's right.
Mr. HUBERT. So, just initial the change then and the word "east," which
we encircled and changed to "south," and Captain Jones and myself are
initialling the change.
Captain JONES. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Other than that, do you have any changes that should be
made?
Captain JONES. Let that stand.
Mr. HUBERT. Then this document which I have identified as Exhibit
5056, being the report by the FBI, specifically by Agents Edward
Mabey and Kenneth Hughes [spelling] H-u-g-h-e-s, of an interview with
you, apparently, on December 2, 1963, and ask you if you have any
corrections to make as to that?
Captain JONES. Yes, sir; there are one or two changes that I would like
to make in that.
Mr. HUBERT. All right.
Captain JONES. Let's see. Can I see it just one moment, sir?
Mr. HUBERT. Sure.
Captain JONES. All right. I would like to make the following changes.
At the bottom of page 1, of Exhibit--that is 5056, I believe?
Mr. HUBERT. That's right.
Captain JONES. The last sentence that reads, "Jones assisted in holding
back the press line during the process, and gave instructions to all
officers near the jail office and the door to allow no one in the area
from the jail to the automobile, down the route the prisoner was to
take."
Mr. HUBERT. Now, what is your comment?
