United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. PHENIX. I can’t remember, really. I may have and I may not--I
just really can’t remember. I know there was--I believe there was a
paddy wagon that came through earlier. It seems like I remember a car,
though, driving out.
Mr. HUBERT. Mr. Phenix, have you ever been interviewed before by any
member of the Commission’s Staff?
Mr. PHENIX. No.
Mr. HUBERT. And actually, you were not interviewed by me before this
deposition began?
Mr. PHENIX. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Is it fair to state that anyone reading the two reports or
statements that you have given, identified as Exhibits 5328 and 5329,
and following your deposition today, with the chart that has been
identified as Exhibit 5330, would have the whole story, as far as you
know anything about it?
Mr. PHENIX. Yes; but I would like to say that I believe it is in
Exhibit 5329 that I said that no other newsmen were asked for their
identification.
Mr. HUBERT. All right.
Mr. PHENIX. Now, that’s just as far as I know--I didn’t actually see--I
couldn’t say that absolutely no one was asked.
Mr. HUBERT. All right--that’s all right--you are telling me that is a
possibility?
Mr. PHENIX. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. All you can say is what you observed?
Mr. PHENIX. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. And from your observation, you didn’t see anybody else
being asked?
Mr. PHENIX. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. Is there anything else you would like to say about this?
Mr. PHENIX. No; that’s all.
Mr. HUBERT. Thank you very much. We appreciate your coming up here.
Mr. PHENIX. All right.
TESTIMONY OF JIMMY TURNER
The testimony of Jimmy Turner was taken at 9:45 a.m., on March 25,
1964, in the office of the U.S. attorney, 301 Post Office Building,
Bryan and Ervay Streets, Dallas, Tex., by Mr. Leon D. Hubert, Jr.,
assistant counsel of the President’s Commission.
Mr. HUBERT. All right, this is the deposition of Mr. James Turner.
Mr. TURNER. Jimmy Turner.
Mr. HUBERT. Jimmy Turner. Fort Worth, Tex. Mr. Turner, my name is
Leon D. Hubert, I am a member of the advisory staff of the General
Counsel of the President’s Commission on the Assassination of President
Kennedy. Under the provisions of the President’s Executive Order No.
11130, dated November 29, 1963, the Joint Resolution of Congress
No. 137 and rules of civil procedure adopted by the Commission in
conference with the Executive order and the joint resolution, I have
been authorized to take a sworn deposition from you, Mr. Turner.
I state to you that the general nature of the Commission’s inquiry
is to ascertain, evaluate and report upon the facts relating to the
assassination of President Kennedy and to the subsequent violent death
of Lee Harvey Oswald. In particular to you, Mr. Turner, the nature of
the inquiry today is to determine what perhaps you know about the death
of Oswald and any other pertinent facts you may know about the general
inquiry. Now, I think you have appeared here today as the result of the
receipt of a letter from Mr. Rankin.
Mr. TURNER. That’s right, sir.
