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. Would you say that his examination of you was along the
same lines as mine has been?
Mr. SENATOR. No; because—well, in certain parts I would say, but I
think yours are more meticulous—is that the proper word—than his. In
other words, yours are more thorough.
Mr. HUBERT. But he asked you to account for your time?
Mr. SENATOR. Oh, yes.
Mr. HUBERT. And you told him about going out in the morning with Jack,
having been awakened by Jack and going out, and so forth?
Mr. SENATOR. No; I forgot that. In other words, when they shoved me
from one to the other, it was the same way.
Mr. HUBERT. You mean you do not have any recollection of having told
the FBI that Jack had awakened you in the morning and that you had gone
out with him?
Mr. SENATOR. I don’t remember if I did or not. I may have. I don’t
remember if I did or not, now, on that.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you have any distinct recollections as to whether or not
you mentioned the Earl Warren poster or the concern of Ruby about the
Bernard Weissman advertisement?
Mr. SENATOR. I don’t remember if I did or not. Maybe I did, maybe I
didn’t. I don’t remember that.
Mr. HUBERT. Did he ask you about accounting for your time on Saturday
afternoon?
Mr. SENATOR. I don’t remember that, either.
Mr. HUBERT. How long did this interrogation by the FBI man take?
Mr. SENATOR. Of course, it’s guesswork again. I would say maybe it took
a couple hours.
Mr. HUBERT. Was it one man or more?
Mr. SENATOR. One. I would say now——
Mr. HUBERT. Did you tell either the State officer who interrogated you
or the FBI man who interrogated you that you had a lawyer and that his
name was Martin?
Mr. SENATOR. I don’t think I did.
Mr. HUBERT. You did not ask that your lawyer be present?
Mr. SENATOR. No; I didn’t.
Mr. HUBERT. What occurred then after the interview with the FBI man was
over? What happened?
Mr. SENATOR. Then they let me go. They released me.
Mr. HUBERT. Who did that, in fact, the FBI man or a State officer?
Mr. SENATOR. The FBI man. If I remember right, I think the FBI man
said, “That is all there is.” That is all there was of the interview.
Mr. HUBERT. And you were permitted to leave?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you remember what time you left?
Mr. SENATOR. I would say it was between 6 and 7 at night because I know
when I got outside again it was dark.
Mr. HUBERT. Was anybody waiting for you?
Mr. SENATOR. No; there was nobody waiting for me. Somebody gave me a
message, or handed me a message, I don’t remember who it was, that Jim
Martin would meet me, the fellow who brought me down, the attorney who
brought me down.
Mr. HUBERT. Was that a police officer?
Mr. SENATOR. No, no; you mean who handed me the message?
Mr. HUBERT. Yes.
Mr. SENATOR. I don’t remember.
Mr. HUBERT. Was it a written message? I asked that because you said you
did not remember who handed you——
Mr. SENATOR. I don’t remember who it was.
Mr. HUBERT. Which would indicate it was written, you see?
