United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. Sorrels, I want to hand you a Xerox copy of a document which is
a part of our files, and numbered Commission No. 354, and is your
Secret Service serial 1,007, consisting of four pages, which you have
previously identified, and Mr. Hubert has marked “Deposition of Forrest
Sorrels, Washington, D.C., May 6, 1964,” and signed Leon D. Hubert.
I have added the additional designation “Exhibit 1,” on the first page
of this four page exhibit. I want you to look at that and tell me if
that is in fact the same exhibit you identified previously as I have
described it.
Mr. SORRELS. Yes, sir; it is.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, let me hand you what I have marked for the purpose
of identification as deposition of Forrest Sorrels, May 6, 1964,
Washington, D.C. This exhibit consists of four different pages which
I have numbered consecutively Exhibits 2-A, 2-B, 2-C, and 2-D, and
purports to be a Xerox copy of notes that you made of the interview
that took place with Jack Ruby in Captain Fritz’ office at 3:15 on
November 24, 1963.
Would you examine Exhibits 2-A, 2-B, 2-C, and 2-D and compare them with
the pages of your notebook which you have referred to previously in the
deposition, and tell us if that is a true and exact copy of all of the
notes that you have that pertain to the 3:15 interview with Jack Ruby?
Mr. SORRELS. Yes, that is correct.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Let me hand you what I have marked for the purpose of
identification deposition of Forrest Sorrels, May 6, 1964, Washington,
D.C., which is a document consisting of three pages, which I have
numbered consecutively Exhibit 3-A, Exhibit 3-B, Exhibit 3-C. This
exhibit purports to be a Xerox copy of notes that you took at an
interview with Jack Ruby in the fifth floor jail cell shortly after
Ruby shot Lee Oswald on November 24. I want you to compare these
exhibits to pages which you have testified to previously are in your
notebook, and tell me if Exhibits 3-A, 3-B, and 3-C are true and exact
copies of those pages which appear in your notebook?
Mr. SORRELS. Yes, they are. But there is portions that do not pertain
to the interview with Ruby in the Dallas City Jail on the morning of
November 24, 1963--but certain portions happen to be on the same page
as the notes made at that time were made.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, directing your attention to Exhibit 3-A, would you
tell us if that portion which pertains to Ruby--the Ruby interview in
the jail cell, and appears on that page, follows consecutively from
some point on that page?
Mr. SORRELS. Yes, from about the center of the page, below a wavy line
drawn across it, continuing on the second page, marked Exhibit 3-B,
and the third page marked Exhibit 3-C, down to the lower portion ending
with “deceased mother.”
Mr. GRIFFIN. All right. Now, directing your attention to Exhibit 3-A,
would you read the first two lines on Exhibit 3-A that consist of the
notes taken at your interview with Ruby in the fifth floor jail cell?
