United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. McMILLON. It came out later on in the conversation up in the jail,
I believe that he had gone out and photographed them, I believe, but
anyway he mentioned this Bernard Weissman, something that he had read
about a derogatory article that he had read in the paper, he had tried
to run that down.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, let me ask you this. Were you present when Agent Hall
of the FBI interviewed him?
Mr. McMILLON. Yes, part of the time. I was in and out for some short
intervals. Phone calls, we will say, rest room, away for things like
that.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes. Now, I don’t want you to tell me about anything that
happened right this moment while Hall was conducting the interview.
Now, were you also present when Sorrels----
Mr. McMILLON. When he first came up?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
Mr. McMILLON. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, I don’t want you to tell me anything right at this
point about what was said when Sorrels was there.
Mr. McMILLON. All right.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Were you there all of the time that agent--not agent but
Sergeant Dean was there?
Mr. McMILLON. No. I was away during one of those intervals. I was there
part of the time. I was there when Sorrels brought Dean up there.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Were you there when Dean left?
Mr. McMILLON. I am sure I was.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Were you there when Sorrels left?
Mr. McMILLON. Yes, I believe so.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Between the time that Sorrels left and the time Dean left,
did you leave at any time?
Mr. McMILLON. Yes. I was away during the time that Sorrels and Dean
were there with him. I had gone around to attend to some other
little detail. I didn’t hear what it was. I didn’t hear all of their
conversation. I heard part of it.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did Dean and Sorrels leave together?
Mr. McMILLON. I don’t know whether they did or not.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I don’t want you to tell me anything that was said when
Dean was there or when Sorrels was there. Now, with reference to these
pictures and the Bernard Weissman statement, was that made--did you
hear him talk about that at any time when Hall, Dean or Sorrels were
not there? In other words, when was it that you heard them talked about?
Mr. McMILLON. I don’t know at what point during the day that it was.
There was so much conversation, I don’t remember at what point during
the day that that was.
Mr. GRIFFIN. All right. When his pockets were emptied, did people
immediately begin to question him about these items that were found in
his pockets?
Mr. McMILLON. We didn’t attempt to question the man or to interrogate
him at all; it was more in the line of conversation. What Clardy or
Archer or I had to say to him, it wasn’t in the form of interrogation,
it was in the form of conversation. We knew that it wasn’t our business
or place to try to. We felt we were there strictly for security.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, did you three, Archer, Clardy, and you, were you the
ones that stripped his clothes and took the property out of his pockets?
