Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. All right. Now, at the time that you signed this report on
November the 27th, did you realize that such a statement from Ruby was
a matter of concern to the police department?
Mr. McMILLON. At the time that I signed those reports was just like
all of the rest of them. I realized that anything that I might know or
that I can remember might be of some value or of some significance to
anybody who was investigating it.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You certainly knew that any statement that Ruby made about
how he got down into that basement would be something that somebody
might want to know?
Mr. McMILLON. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You read that report over?
Mr. McMILLON. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And there is nothing in that report about Ruby having made
such a statement, is there?
Mr. McMILLON. This first one here?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
Mr. McMILLON. Let’s see. I don’t believe so. No, sir; I don’t see
anything.
Mr. GRIFFIN. All right. Now, you have had a chance to look over Exhibit
5019, haven’t you?
Mr. McMILLON. Yes, I have looked it over.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, did you tell the Secret Service agents, who
interviewed you at that time, about the statement----
Mr. McMILLON. I was never interviewed by anybody who was identified as
Secret Service agents.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I am sorry. FBI agents. Did you tell those FBI agents
anything about Ruby’s statement to Dean?
Mr. McMILLON. I told them about how he said he got into the basement.
I don’t believe they asked me about Dean, that Ruby told him down the
ramp.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What time did this interview take place?
Mr. McMILLON. Let’s see the date on this. This is the two agents that
came to see me on the 25th, that is on Monday?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes; do you remember what time of the day?
Mr. McMILLON. Yes; in the afternoon.
Mr. GRIFFIN. In the afternoon?
Mr. McMILLON. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Had you talked to Dean between the time he left you and
that afternoon, the time you made that statement?
Mr. McMILLON. I don’t recall that I had, but I don’t believe that I did.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you know by the time you made this statement that Dean
had reported to somebody in the police department that he saw the man
come down the----
Mr. McMILLON. No; I didn’t know that at that time. I didn’t know
that Dean had allegedly said anything of that stuff then. People had
told me, after I had got off duty, this, that and the other. I heard
somewhere that Dean had been on an interview somewhere on television or
something, and that is as much as I knew. I don’t know. I don’t believe
that this article was out at the time. It possibly may have been. I
think this article came out a week or two later where Dean is supposed
to have said that he seen him. I believe it was some time later after
this, a week or so later after this.
