Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. How long did you, Cutchshaw, Lowery, and Harrison remain
in the homicide office?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Didn’t stay there but just a few minutes. I know when
we left they were in there writing out a report of some kind. Didn’t
even ask them what they was writing. Sitting there writing something.
Anyway, after I talked to them just as--just a second, I went back to
where Captain Fritz was, and that was when they sent us back upstairs
to get Ruby.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Hall, Harrison, Cutchshaw and Lowery are all from the
juvenile bureau?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, did you talk with Dean at all on Sunday after the----
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Gene?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Dean. Officer Dean.
Mr. MONTGOMERY. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you talk with Officer McMillon at all after the
shooting?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Seemed like I talked to him later on that night and
told him about his hat.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall him telling you anything about how Ruby got
in?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, you knew that McMillon had been up there in this jail
cell with Ruby?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Uh-huh.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you ask him anything about what Ruby was saying?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. No; I didn’t.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did he tell you anything about what Ruby was saying?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about Archer? Did you see him?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. I don’t believe--I don’t recall seeing Archer any more
after they left the----
Mr. GRIFFIN. Uh-huh.
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Jail.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Okay. I want you to take the pen back from me.
Mr. MONTGOMERY. All right.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And I want to mark these two documents for identification.
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Uh-huh.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And I am going to mark this one Exhibit 5005, and the
second one Exhibit 5006.
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Uh-huh.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And each of them, “Dallas, Texas, Detective Montgomery’s
deposition. 3-24-64”. These are copies of FBI reports?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Uh-huh.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And they represent, of course----
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Their interview with me.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Their interview with you; yes. Now, I am going to ask you
to look at 5005. This purports to be an interview that was made on
December 4, 1963.
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Uh-huh.
Mr. GRIFFIN. By James Kennedy and Leo Robertson of the----
Mr. MONTGOMERY. With who?
Mr. GRIFFIN. With you.
Mr. MONTGOMERY. I didn’t talk to no two. I talked to one. I talked to
Mr. Bookhout and one other agent is all. Let’s see. Maybe I had better
read this before I start talking. Let’s see.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Look it over and tell me if you remember that interview?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. “Stated they had known Ruby for several years.” That
must mean “he.”
Mr. GRIFFIN. Tell you what. Let’s take a break here and let Officer
Montgomery read this over, and then I want to know whether you feel
that there should be any additions or corrections made in it.
