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
For the purpose of identification, I am marking the first page as
follows: “Dallas, Texas, April 15, 1964, Exhibit 5319, Deposition of
Ralph Paul,” and I am putting my name on the first page, and also
writing my initials on the lower right-hand corner of every one of the
other pages.
Now, I ask you if you have had an opportunity to read that document,
now identified as Exhibit 5319?
Mr. PAUL. What do you mean?
Mr. HUBERT. Have you had a chance to read it?
Mr. PAUL. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Does it represent the truth as far as you know?
Mr. PAUL. As far as I know.
Mr. HUBERT. Are there any corrections you want to make or errors you
want to correct in it?
Mr. PAUL. Well, you asked me the same thing——
Mr. HUBERT. By referring specifically to Exhibit 5319, you see, is
there anything in Exhibit 5319 that is not the truth as far as you
know, in this document here?
Mr. PAUL. I don’t know.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, that’s why I asked you to read it, so you could tell
me whether there is anything you want to change in there and you may
take your time with it—I don’t want to rush you at all.
Mr. PAUL. This page alone, or the whole thing?
Mr. HUBERT. The whole thing.
Mr. PAUL. I don’t know what I could change.
Mr. HUBERT. Have you read it?
Mr. PAUL. I think I did—in what respect are you asking me that?
Mr. HUBERT. I just want to know if everything in there is correct, and
to give you the opportunity of changing anything in there that is not
correct.
Mr. PAUL. Well, I told you the same thing that you asked me—that’s all
here—I can’t change it in any way.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, you can if it is not the truth, because all we want
is the truth.
Mr. PAUL. That’s what I told you—the truth.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, are you willing to state, then, that the facts
related, the statements made in the documents, consisting of nine pages
which I have now identified as Exhibit 5319, are correct?
Mr. PAUL. As far as I can recall they are correct.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you have anything to add that document that you think of
right now?
Mr. PAUL. As far as I could tell, when they asked me those questions, I
told them that was that.
Mr. HUBERT. And this seems to be a true and fair report of the
interview with you?
Mr. PAUL. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Is there anything you want to delete from that because it
is wrong?
Mr. PAUL. How is it wrong?
Mr. HUBERT. Well, if it is not wrong, I would take it you would not
want to delete it. That’s what I’m trying to do—is to ask you if there
is anything in there that’s incorrect, because what we are seeking to
get is the truth.
Mr. PAUL. You think this is wrong?
Mr. HUBERT. No, sir; I didn’t suggest it was wrong. I want to ask
you—since you have had an opportunity to read it——
Mr. PAUL. Everything I told them at the time was the right thing—I told
them.
Mr. HUBERT. And that seems to be a fair and honest report of the
interview you had with them?
Mr. PAUL. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. All right, that’s all I wanted to know about that.
