United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. All I am saying is that even on the 24th when the police
and the FBI asked you about these segments of time on that same day,
your statement to us is that even then you were largely guessing?
Mr. SENATOR. I would have to guess the approximate times. If you can
tell me if you don’t see a clock or a watch, how do you tell?
Mr. HUBERT. You might be able to tell by remembering what TV program
was going on at the time. Do you, at any particular time?
Mr. SENATOR. At that time I believe it was something about the late
President, but I don’t just recall what it was, but I believe it was——
Mr. HUBERT. Practically everything that day was. You don’t remember any
specific part?
Mr. SENATOR. I don’t; no. I don’t remember any specific part.
Mr. HUBERT. Did Jack look at it, too? I think you said he did. Did he
make a particular comment as to a particular part then being shown?
Mr. SENATOR. No.
Mr. HUBERT. And that was the last time you saw Jack?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Let me get this straight. Were you awake, did you wake up
on Sunday morning before Jack?
Mr. SENATOR. Sunday morning? Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you have an actual recollection of that, or are you
stating this because it was almost always your practice that you did
wake up before Jack?
Mr. SENATOR. I always—I would say 95 percent of the time I was up
before him.
Mr. GRIFFIN. But on this day do you have any recollection?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes; I know. He was asleep because when I got up he was
still in bed.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When you got up, as I understand; you made some breakfast
for yourself?
Mr. SENATOR. No; I didn’t.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You did not?
Mr. SENATOR. No. I had coffee. I made coffee.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Coffee?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. In this period between the time you got up and the time
that Jack left the apartment, did you remain in the apartment the
entire period?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes. I was still in my shorts when he left the apartment.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And were you visited by anybody?
Mr. SENATOR. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. That day?
Mr. SENATOR. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Or that morning?
Mr. SENATOR. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you know which are the neighbors in that apartment? Let
me start over again? You lived at that South Ewing address on that very
same floor right next to Jack for 11 months, approximately?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Before this Sunday we are talking about. Now, did you know
any of the other people who lived in the apartment?
Mr. SENATOR. Just to say hello, but that is about as far as it went.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you know Sidney Evans?
Mr. SENATOR. Sidney Evans?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
Mr. SENATOR. I don’t know. If I did, I don’t know them by name.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about a man named Malcolm Slaughter?
Mr. SENATOR. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. They work for the Red Ball Freight Company or Motor
Express, truck drivers apparently.
Mr. SENATOR. Did they live there?
Mr. GRIFFIN. They were supposed to; yes.
