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. HUBERT. R-h-e-a?
Mr. SENATOR. R-h-e-a. Rhea Manufacturing.
Mr. HUBERT. Milwaukee?
Mr. SENATOR. Milwaukee. I got back with Rhea again, I don’t remember
what year. But anyhow, in between that I would almost say there could
be a span with a rough guess approximately about a year and a half I
was unemployed.
Mr. HUBERT. How did you manage to sustain yourself by way of paying
normal expenses?
Mr. SENATOR. I was cooking for the boys and doing odd things for them.
Mr. HUBERT. Were you living in Dallas?
Mr. SENATOR. Oh, sure.
Mr. HUBERT. All that period?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, during the period we are talking about, the
3½ years from July of 1958 until January of 1962, you never did change
your residence from Dallas, even though you might be traveling?
Mr. SENATOR. January of 1962.
Mr. HUBERT. Let’s get this part settled. From the time you left
Smoler’s, you were definitely living in Dallas?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you ever actually establish a residence of a permanent
nature other than in Dallas any place else?
Mr. SENATOR. No.
Mr. HUBERT. So that even though you were traveling during those years,
doing odd jobs or for Rhea’s, you always lived in Dallas?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes; wait, there was one time, excuse me, I was staying
with a friend of mine in Houston. There was one time, I remember that.
Mr. HUBERT. How long ago?
Mr. SENATOR. But actually, that still wasn’t a permanent residence
because I was traveling with this guy because I was unemployed and I
used to help him.
Mr. HUBERT. Who is he?
Mr. SENATOR. His name is George Hamrah.
Mr. HUBERT. How do you spell it?
Mr. SENATOR. H-a-m-r-a-h.
Mr. HUBERT. He still lives in Houston?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes; he still lives in Houston.
Mr. HUBERT. So aside from that period that you are talking about, you
always lived in Dallas?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Can you bring us forward then as to your residence from the
Oasis on?
Mr. SENATOR. From the Oasis I believe now, I believe from the Oasis I
went to Jack Ruby’s, if I am not mistaken. I think I moved in with Jack.
Wait, I’ll tell you when I moved in with Jack. It was in February or
March, I’m not sure now, of 1962.
Mr. HUBERT. And you think that you were in the Oasis in the interval.
Mr. SENATOR. No, no; wait, wait. Before I moved in, excuse me, yes,
I moved in with Jack from the Oasis. Now I lived in three different
places in the Oasis with different boys because I was unemployed.
Mr. HUBERT. We are not particularly interested in the apartment numbers
in the Oasis.
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. But we are in the names of the people that you lived with
at the Oasis.
Mr. SENATOR. I gave you the names——
Mr. HUBERT. Of two of them, as I recall.
Mr. SENATOR. Of one apartment.
Mr. HUBERT. Yes.
Mr. SENATOR. Right. Then another apartment I lived in, the fellow, his
name was Frank Irwin.
Mr. HUBERT. Go ahead.
