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. SENATOR. He wanted to know; he had also said that he had checked
the telephone directory and couldn’t find this Bernard Weissman, who
supposedly put an ad like this here, and couldn’t have been local
because he looked to see if there was a Bernard Weissman in the Dallas
telephone book.
Mr. HUBERT. You didn’t see him look it up. He merely told you that?
Mr. SENATOR. He merely told me that. I didn’t see him look it up.
Mr. HUBERT. Did Larry Crafard go with you to the post office?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Did he stay in the automobile, or come to the post office
with you?
Mr. SENATOR. I believe he came into the post office. I have to guess on
this. I am not sure, but I think he came into the post office.
Mr. HUBERT. All right.
Mr. SENATOR. Then from there we went to the Southland Hotel coffeeshop.
Mr. HUBERT. Where is that located?
Mr. SENATOR. That is on the corner, on Commerce, and I don’t know what
the little side street is, but it is just below the Adolphus Hotel on
Commerce Street. I don’t know what the side street is.
Mr. HUBERT. Who went?
Mr. SENATOR. Jack, Larry, and myself.
Mr. HUBERT. How long did you stay there?
Mr. SENATOR. I would assume we stayed there—maybe about 15 minutes
would be a rough guess.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you recall the nature of the discussion between you at
that time?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes. He reread this paper ad of the why’s of the President.
Mr. HUBERT. Where did he get the paper from?
Mr. SENATOR. It happened to be it was lying on the counter. The news
was lying on the counter, and, of course, he ruffled through it.
Mr. HUBERT. And you say he reread it; so now you are quite certain that
he had read it before?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes; he must have read it before. See, now, I can’t tell
you if he read it before that or I showed it to him or what. I just
don’t remember.
Mr. HUBERT. In any case when he saw it at the coffeeshop, it was
obviously the second time.
Mr. SENATOR. He was very disturbed.
Mr. HUBERT. Or the third time.
Mr. SENATOR. He was very, very disturbed over both of these.
Mr. HUBERT. Explain what actions of his lead you now to the conclusion
that you describe as a disturbed condition.
Mr. SENATOR. His voice of speech; the way he looked at you.
Mr. HUBERT. His voice was loud or low or different or what?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes; it was different. It was different; the way he looked
at you. It just don’t look like the normal procedure.
Mr. HUBERT. Had you ever seen him in that condition before?
Mr. SENATOR. I would probably say—I don’t know how to put these
conditions together, but I have seen him hollering, things like I told
you in the past, but this here, he had sort of a stare look in his eye.
I don’t know how to describe it. I don’t know how to put it together.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I didn’t catch that. What kind of a look?
Mr. SENATOR. A stare look; I don’t know. I can’t express it. I don’t
know how to put it in words.
