United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. He takes it over to this laundry?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. The girl does it for him at the laundry?
Mr. SENATOR. She does it with the soap and powder and all that. They
have girls over there, a couple colored girls.
Mr. GRIFFIN. This would ordinarily be a self-service laundromat?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. But there are people there so that if you don’t want to
serve yourself they will do it for you?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes; that is the nature of this place.
Mr. GRIFFIN. His brother Sam, wasn’t he in the laundry business?
Mr. SENATOR. Sam fixes those machines. I think Sam was employed by
somebody. I don’t know who he was employed by, but he fixes these
washers.
Mr. GRIFFIN. But he doesn’t have washaterias?
Mr. SENATOR. Not to my knowledge; no. I think he is an employee.
Mr. GRIFFIN. This area that you are describing, is that in the general
Oak Cliff area that you people lived in?
Mr. SENATOR. No, no. This is in town.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Downtown?
Mr. SENATOR. Not downtown but you have to go through downtown to go
uptown.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What section would you call this section?
Mr. SENATOR. That area would be I would say sort of north—northwest
part of town I think.
Mr. HUBERT. While you are on the laundry subject, wasn’t there some
equipment in the basement of the building you were in?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes; I said I did mine but he don’t do his.
Mr. HUBERT. When you came home, as I understand it, it was about
7:30, and you fixed a meal for yourself. Before I pass for the moment
from this period on Saturday afternoon, let me ask you this. You were
interviewed I think by the FBI and by Elmer Moore of the Secret Service
very shortly after these events, by the FBI, I believe, on Sunday the
24th?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes. No; first the police had me, the local had me.
Mr. HUBERT. The local police?
Mr. SENATOR. Then from the local they put me into the FBI.
Mr. HUBERT. Did they question you at that time as to your activities
during this period of 6 hours on Saturday afternoon between roughly 12
and 6 or 12:30 and 6:30?
Mr. SENATOR. No; they questioned me, I believe they questioned me from
Friday.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you tell them at that time that you had no recollection
of what you had done during this 6-hour period?
Mr. SENATOR. I don’t remember what I told them. I don’t know if I was
asked that, if I can remember right. I believe the questions they asked
me, if I remember right, is when was the next time I saw Jack that
day, if I remember right, that when I left, what time did I leave that
Saturday, and I believe when was the next time I saw him, if I am not
mistaken, if that is the way it ran.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you give the police a written statement?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You signed a written statement for the police?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes; they made me sign a written statement.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you remember what time it was that the police
questioned you on Sunday?
