United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. FUQUA. I don’t know whether you exactly--whether you can fix it so
it will lock when you pull it.
Mr. HUBERT. Or do you have to turn the key?
Mr. FUQUA. Right. I don’t know.
Mr. HUBERT. But, you say you do remember him shaking the door?
Mr. FUQUA. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. After you all had passed through the door?
Mr. FUQUA. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. You didn’t try the door yourself?
Mr. FUQUA. No.
Mr. HUBERT. But, from what you were able to see, he was shaking it as a
person would do just testing to see if a door is closed?
Mr. FUQUA. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. And it seemed now to be closed?
Mr. FUQUA. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I am showing you a document which purports to be
a report of an interview with you by FBI Agent Jack Peden, and I’m
marking it for identification as follows: “Dallas, Tex., April 1, 1964,
Exhibit 5134, Deposition of Harold Fuqua,” and signing my name to it.
The document consists of two pages, and I’m putting my initials on the
lower right-hand corner of the second page. Now, in order that the
record may show that we are both speaking of the same document when you
testify in a moment about this document, I would like you to place your
signature near mine on the first page, and your initials near mine on
the second page, please.
Mr. FUQUA. Now, say this again, now.
Mr. HUBERT. On that first page----
Mr. FUQUA. Just put my first--my signature here?
Mr. HUBERT. Yes; just your signature. I note that you are putting your
signature above and to the right of the inscription I have put on
there, that is all right. Would you put your initials on the second
page, please.
Now have you read that document consisting of two pages and identified
as 5134?
Mr. FUQUA. I have read it outside.
Mr. HUBERT. Is that correct?
Mr. FUQUA. Yes, sir; everything that I know that is on here is correct.
Mr. HUBERT. Are you willing to state to us now that between the
statement and your deposition which you have just given that you have
said all that you know about this matter altogether?
Mr. FUQUA. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. And that if the Commission takes that statement, Exhibit
5134, and your deposition that they will have everything you know about
this whole matter?
Mr. FUQUA. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. All right, sir. Have you been interviewed by any member of
the Commission, to your knowledge, prior to this?
Mr. FUQUA. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Was there an interview between you and me prior to this?
Mr. FUQUA. Were you the one that called me on the telephone?
Mr. HUBERT. No, sir. Someone called you on the telephone?
Mr. FUQUA. Yes, sir; I guess. Called me on the telephone and told me
when to be down here.
Mr. HUBERT. Yes; but that telephone call, whoever it was with, was
solely for the purpose of fixing the time of this appointment.
Mr. FUQUA. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. No discussion of any matters.
Mr. FUQUA. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. And you and I have not discussed the matter before your
deposition began?
Mr. FUQUA. No.
