United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. SENATOR. No; he didn’t mention that.
Mr. HUBERT. I think you have previously said in a statement that you
saw him sometime that night, and he went out or something, and then,
you went to bed?
Mr. SENATOR. No. The next time that I saw him was the following morning
when he woke me up.
Mr. HUBERT. I am talking about the night now of the 21st, before
the President was shot, Thursday night, you all talked about the
President’s coming. Did he go out or stay at home, do you recall?
Mr. SENATOR. No; he is at the club. He goes to the club.
Mr. HUBERT. He is at the club?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. You went to bed, and when he came in I assume you were
sleeping.
Mr. SENATOR. You are talking about Thursday?
Mr. HUBERT. Yes, I am talking about Thursday night and Friday morning.
Mr. SENATOR. Thursday night—the President came in Friday.
Mr. HUBERT. Yes; but Thursday night did Jack follow his usual routine?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes; his usual routine.
Mr. HUBERT. You were asleep I guess when he got back?
Mr. SENATOR. Thursday night I don’t remember if I was or not.
Mr. HUBERT. Anyhow, Friday morning when you got up he was asleep.
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. And you didn’t talk to him until you heard of the death of
the President?
Mr. SENATOR. No; the next time that I talked to him was Saturday
morning.
Mr. HUBERT. You didn’t speak to him at all on Friday afternoon after
the death?
Mr. SENATOR. No; I never saw him at all. I was out. I was out all day.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you go home on Friday night at all?
Mr. SENATOR. Sure.
Mr. HUBERT. What time?
Mr. SENATOR. Friday night I must have went home around somewheres
between 10 and 11. Of course, I bought the paper at the Adolphus before
I went home. I always buy a paper, too.
Mr. HUBERT. Was Jack home then?
Mr. SENATOR. No.
Mr. HUBERT. He had not attempted to contact you from the time of the
President’s death at all?
Mr. SENATOR. No. He couldn’t contact me because I was around.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you try to contact him?
Mr. SENATOR. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you bring out where it was that he was around?
Mr. SENATOR. When I said “around”?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Where?
Mr. SENATOR. Around town, no particular place.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Were you going from bar to bar?
Mr. SENATOR. No, not bar to bar. I had been at a couple of bars. I was
with a friend of mine that night, and we went out, we had a couple of
beers and we were so disgusted, if you can picture the overall picture
of Friday night in the city of Dallas after the occurrence, what
happened that afternoon or late that morning, the city was, I don’t
know how to describe it, morguelike. They were brooding. Everybody was
brooding, a sad affair.
Mr. HUBERT. Of course you don’t know whether Jack went to the apartment
on Friday night before you got there?
Mr. SENATOR. No; I don’t.
Mr. HUBERT. So you went home and went to bed.
