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. Did the police search you or frisk you?
Mr. SENATOR. No.
Mr. HUBERT. They did not take anything away from you?
Mr. SENATOR. No. I wasn’t under arrest at all.
Mr. HUBERT. And what was the next thing that happened?
Mr. SENATOR. Well, finally, I don’t remember this man’s name, you
may have a note of it, I assume he was a detective. He was in plain
clothes. He questioned me.
Mr. HUBERT. Did he question you in that same room, or take you outside?
Mr. SENATOR. No, he questioned me in that room.
Mr. HUBERT. Just one man?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. You don’t remember his name?
Mr. SENATOR. No, I don’t.
Mr. HUBERT. Was he connected with the Federal Government or the State
government?
Mr. SENATOR. I assumed he was local.
Mr. HUBERT. Have you found out since who he was?
Mr. SENATOR. No, I didn’t. I think he must have been a detective of
some nature. I mean I don’t know what his classification was, because
all I know is, he was in plain clothes.
Mr. HUBERT. What was the nature of his inquiry?
Mr. SENATOR. It was, you know, what happened from the time of the
shooting up until the present time. That was the inquiry.
Mr. HUBERT. The time of the President’s shooting?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes, from the President to——
Mr. HUBERT. Did he more or less ask you to go over and to account for
your time during that period?
Mr. SENATOR. You mean where I was?
Mr. HUBERT. Yes.
Mr. SENATOR. Yes, yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Am I right then in saying that his inquiry was to ask you
what you had been doing since the President had been shot and what Ruby
had been doing too, I suppose?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Both of you?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. He asked you concerning the events in your life during the
afternoon of Friday, November 22?
Mr. SENATOR. I believe that is how it started.
Mr. HUBERT. And on the night of the 22d and the early morning of the
23d?
Mr. SENATOR. There is only one thing that slipped my mind to tell him,
and that was the paper issue, the newspaper issue and the billboard,
“Impeach Earl Warren”. That was the only thing I forgot to tell him
that slipped my mind.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you tell him that you had gotten up, that Jack had
wakened you early in the morning and had asked you to go out with him?
Mr. SENATOR. I don’t know if he questioned me on that or not. I don’t
remember if he did or not on that. I don’t remember if he did on that.
Mr. HUBERT. But if he did——
Mr. SENATOR. But I had been in a pretty shaky mood that day, most
naturally nervous.
Mr. HUBERT. But your point is that if he did ask you about whether you
had gone out with Ruby in the early hours of the morning, you did not
tell him about the concern of Ruby over the Bernard Weissman ad, nor
did you tell him about taking the pictures of the Earl Warren poster?
Mr. SENATOR. No, I didn’t tell him that.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, what was your reason for not?
Mr. SENATOR. No particular reason.
