Mr. GRIFFIN. How about Floyd Turman, do you know him?
Mrs. NICHOLS. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you know any police officers with whom Jack was
friendly?
Mrs. NICHOLS. No; I have seen police officers out there in the club,
but I never knew one in particular.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you know any of the women that he was friendly with
besides yourself?
Mrs. NICHOLS. I don’t know who else he dated.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about women that he saw in a business connection? Did
you see any women in the business? Did he see any women in a business
connection?
Mrs. NICHOLS. Not that I know of. I don’t know of any.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Can you think of anything else that we haven’t talked
about here today that you haven’t already told the FBI, that you think
would be of importance to the Commission?
Mrs. NICHOLS. No; I can’t think of anything that would be of importance.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Let me ask you if, as time passes here, and if anything
does come to your attention which you think might be helpful to us, if
you would contact somebody in the Commission or contact the FBI or the
Secret Service and let them know?
Mrs. NICHOLS. I will be glad to.
Mr. GRIFFIN. We also ask you, other than the interviews that Mr. Sayres
had with you, have you been interviewed by any member of this staff?
Mrs. NICHOLS. Of this staff?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
Mrs. NICHOLS. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Prior to having your deposition taken here, did you and I
have any interview?
Mrs. NICHOLS. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I don’t think I have any more questions to ask you.
I want to thank you for coming here and taking all this time to do it,
and I realize that you are a working woman and it is an inconvenience
to you.
Mrs. NICHOLS. That is quite all right.
Mr. GRIFFIN. But it was quite nice of you to spend all of this time.
Mrs. NICHOLS. I am glad to help in any way I can.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Thank you very much.
TESTIMONY OF ROBERT CARL PATTERSON
The testimony of Robert Carl Patterson was taken at 4:15 p.m., on April
14, 1964, in the office of the U.S. attorney, 301 Post Office Building,
Bryan and Ervay Streets, Dallas, Tex., by Mr. Burt W. Griffin,
assistant counsel of the President’s Commission.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Let me introduce myself. My name is Burt Griffin, and
I am on the Advisory Staff of the General Counsel’s office of the
President’s Commission investigating the assassination of President
Kennedy.
This Commission has been set up by virtue of an Executive Order from
President Johnson which was issued on November 30, 1963, and also by
virtue of a Joint Resolution from Congress, No. 137.
As a result of these two official Acts, the Commission has been given
authority to put forth its own rules and regulations to accomplish the
purpose of the investigation which we have been asked to conduct, and
under these regulations I have been given authority to come here and
take your deposition, Mr. Patterson.
