United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. Who was that?
Mr. EBERHARDT. When Kenney Lane fought Curtis Cokes in Dallas, the
night after, he was up in the place.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Kenney Lane fought Curtis Cokes?
Mr. EBERHARDT. Kenney Lane fought Curtis Cokes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. He came up to the place?
Mr. EBERHARDT. He came up to the place. He is top contender right now.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did Jack say how he knew him?
Mr. EBERHARDT. No. He just said, “There is Kenney Lane.”
Mr. GRIFFIN. About how often do they have prizefights in Dallas?
Mr. EBERHARDT. They haven’t had one for quite a while now. They tried
to promote some, but they didn’t go over good.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about amateur fights?
Mr. EBERHARDT. Yes; we have tried to build up with some smokers with
the Police Athletic League, and such as that. Had the Golden Gloves.
Mr. GRIFFIN. About how often in the average year have they had the
amateur fights, that you know of?
Mr. EBERHARDT. They had 4 or 5 cards last year.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Who sponsored those?
Mr. EBERHARDT. I don’t know who was sponsoring them, really.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did Jack have anything to do with those?
Mr. EBERHARDT. No; huh-uh.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did Jack ever indicate to you any interest in them?
Mr. EBERHARDT. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I also asked Detective Eberhardt if he knew of anyone
else whom he knew from the police department, and he mentioned that
his partner on the vice squad, R. L. Clark, also got some useful
information, but that Eberhardt hasn’t worked with Clark since early
1962 when Detective Eberhardt was transferred to burglary and theft.
Now, is there anything else that you would want to add to what I have
just dictated?
Mr. EBERHARDT. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Is that--are you satisfied that that is an accurate
statement, a report of what we talked about----
Mr. EBERHARDT. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Beforehand?
Mr. EBERHARDT. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, you have given an interview to Agents Smith and
Chapoton, [spelling] C-h-a-p-o-t-o-n, of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation on December 20, 1963, and you stated that, when you were
on duty sometime between 3 and 11 p.m. on Friday night, November 22,
that you recall seeing Jack Ruby on the third floor between 6 and 7
p.m. Will you tell us how you happened to--how you fix this as between
6 and 7 p.m.?
Mr. EBERHARDT. I was working afternoons, usually go to eat at around
5:30 or 6, and I already had eaten when I got back in the office when I
seen Jack, and so make it around 7 o’clock.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Were you actually in the office when you saw Jack?
Mr. EBERHARDT. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Where was Jack?
Mr. EBERHARDT. He had stuck his head in our door and hollered at us.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did he come in and talk at all?
Mr. EBERHARDT. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How long did he remain in the office?
Mr. EBERHARDT. Oh, 10 or 15 minutes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Who else was in the office with you at that time?
