Warren Commission (14 of 26): Hearings Vol. XIV (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. PAUL. That’s all—I would bring it downstairs—he never carried it
with him actually—I don’t know why he carried so much money the last
time. Actually, he used to throw it in the back of the car in the trunk
and he said, “That’s the place that nobody looks.”
Mr. HUBERT. You mean you have known him to go home with money in the
sack and he never put it on his person at all?
Mr. PAUL. No—in the back of the car.
Mr. HUBERT. Even when he parked his car at night he wouldn’t take it
upstairs?
Mr. PAUL. What do you mean—no; he never took it up to the house—he left
it in the car.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you ever have occasion to know how much money he had
around like that?
Mr. PAUL. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, of course, you know, I suppose, from the newspapers
and what you have heard that when he was arrested he had altogether on
his person and in the car an so forth, something in excess——
Mr. PAUL. It was in the car too, wasn’t it?
Mr. HUBERT. Some of it, yes; but to your knowledge, most of the time he
didn’t keep it on his person at all?
Mr. PAUL. No.
Mr. HUBERT. What about the gun, did he keep that on his person?
Mr. PAUL. It’s a funny thing about the gun—he would always carry it in
a bag, in a deposit bag, a money bag.
Mr. HUBERT. A canvas bag, and——
Mr. PAUL. Unless he went some place special, because he always said
somebody might want to beat him up.
Mr. HUBERT. What do you mean by “some place special”—like what?
Mr. PAUL. Well, like if he was going out on a date or something, you
know, I mean he wouldn’t carry the bag. I mean, if he went to a show or
something, he wouldn’t carry the bag.
Mr. HUBERT. But he took his gun?
Mr. PAUL. No; he left it in the bag. The only time he would carry the
gun—the bag was if he wasn’t going to no place or he went home—if he
went to eat, he would take it with him.
Mr. HUBERT. The gun or the bag?
Mr. PAUL. The bag with the gun.
Mr. HUBERT. From his car?
Mr. PAUL. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. But yet he would leave it outside all night?
Mr. PAUL. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. In the car?
Mr. PAUL. In the car.
Mr. HUBERT. But let me see if I get this straight—if he was going to
eat, he would go to his car, take the money out of the trunk——
Mr. PAUL. No; the bag.
Mr. HUBERT. The bag—with the gun only?
Mr. PAUL. The gun.
Mr. HUBERT. He would leave the money there and take the bag with the
gun, and then carried the gun in that fashion?
Mr. PAUL. Yes, many times he would be driving my car, he would leave
the bag and the money on the bottom and lock the car.
Mr. HUBERT. And the gun would be in there with the bag and the money?
Mr. PAUL. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. But you say that there were occasions when he would take
the gun alone, leaving the money behind, but the gun not in a holster,
but in a bag?
Mr. PAUL. But in a bag—so everybody thought he was carrying money.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know if he ever owned a holster?
Mr. PAUL. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you ever see him carry the gun in a pocket or tucked in
his waist?
