Warren Commission (13 of 26): Hearings Vol. XIII (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. SORRELS. Because I did not know the names of the two police
officers that were there. Two uniformed men.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, was it your thought, then, if you advised Curry he
would get the names of the men, and then convey it to Wade? I am trying
to get what your motivation was.
Mr. SORRELS. Well, that is all I can recall as to the motivation. In
other words, I don’t know that I thought that he would convey the
information to Wade or not. I just cannot recall whether I had that in
mind or not. But I did have in mind that possibly these two fellows,
these two uniformed police officers, might be able to testify as to
what Ruby said there when I would not be able to do so, because of the
fact I had not warned him.
Mr. HUBERT. And this conversation with Curry was in between the time
you saw Wade at Love Field and the time you had the interview with him
when he came back from Washington?
Mr. SORRELS. As I recall it, it was. I won’t be positive about that.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, you told Wade, I think you said, the same thing, about
your doubts as to your qualifications.
Mr. SORRELS. I believe that I did, if I recall it correctly, because I
think when I was talking to Wade in his office, that that was mentioned.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you make any memo of the conversation you had with
Curry?
Mr. SORRELS. No, sir; I did not.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you make any memo of the interview you had with Wade?
Mr. SORRELS. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. What did Curry say to you when you told him this
information?
Mr. SORRELS. As I recall it, I think he said that he could possibly
find out. It seemed to me like I talked to Chief Batchelor about that,
also. I am not positive. But, anyway, I figured they would have a way
of knowing who it was that was there, and so forth, at that time.
Mr. HUBERT. Is there anyway you could fix for us more definitely the
dates of these three occurrences--your meeting with Wade at Love Field,
your telephone conversation with Curry, and your interview with Wade?
Mr. SORRELS. I think that I can on the one at Love Field, because, as
I recall it, Miss Lynda Johnson was en route to Washington, D.C., and
I went to Love Field to be there at the time they arrived in the event
that they might need a car or something. I can establish that--February
16, 1964.
Mr. HUBERT. You mean you don’t know it now, but you could establish it?
Mr. SORRELS. No; I could establish it.
Mr. HUBERT. I wonder if you would undertake to establish that for us.
Mr. SORRELS. Yes; I would.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, you think there is no other collateral way to
establish the dates of the other matters?
