United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. I think, with your permission, we ought to number these
pages. I will start off by numbering the first page as it appears in
the book as “1” on the bottom, and then the reverse of that “2”, and
I am putting these numerals in a circle, up to 12. I understand your
testimony to be that the notes which appear on pages Exhibit No. 5
which have now been numbered 1 through 12 all relate to the interview
of Mrs. Paine taken on the Thursday after Thanksgiving of 1963.
Mr. KANTOR. That is correct.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I am marking the rest of the pages as follows, by
putting the numbers in a circle at the bottom, beginning with 13 up to
and including 17 and ask you the relationship of those notes or those
pages to any particular event.
Mr. KANTOR. They relate to notes, they are notes, that I made regarding
Mrs. Tippit, the wife of the police officer in Dallas who was slain.
Mr. HUBERT. When were those notes made?
Mr. KANTOR. They were made the day after I spoke with Mrs. Paine,
Friday.
Mr. HUBERT. Friday of what----
Mr. KANTOR. This would be eight days after Thanksgiving, yes. I believe
it was December 6th.
Mr. HUBERT. I show you a calendar of 1963 and ask you if it is not a
fact that Thanksgiving was on the 28th of November, that Thursday after
Thanksgiving would have been December 5th, and the day after that
would have been December 6th.
Mr. KANTOR. That is correct, yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, you have just referred to notes appearing on pages 12
through----
Mr. KANTOR. It is notes on pages 13 through 17.
Mr. HUBERT. 13 through 17. Are there any other notes in the book?
Mr. KANTOR. No; none.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, why don’t you go ahead and read those interview
reports that you have in your hands right now and then we can talk
about them.
Mr. HUBERT. Let the record show I am placing my initials on the lower
right-hand corner of the second and subsequent pages of Exhibit 4.
Let the record show, also, that I have placed my initials on the inside
cover of Exhibit No. 5 and at the bottom of each page of Exhibit No. 5.
Let the record also show that I am placing my initials on each of the
pages of Exhibit No. 3 at the bottom, Exhibit No. 3 consisting of a
series of pages numbering 3-A through the alphabet and again until 3-RR.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I am going to hand you, Mr. Kantor, what has been marked
for purposes of identification as “Washington, D.C., Seth Kantor
Deposition, June 3, 1964, Exhibit No. 6.”
(The document referred to was marked Seth Kantor Exhibit No. 6 for
identification.)
Mr. GRIFFIN. This purports to be a copy of a report prepared by FBI
Agent Vincent E. Drain, of an interview he conducted with you on
December 3, 1963, in Dallas. I will hand it to you and ask you if you
have had a chance to read it and whether you have any additions or
corrections that you would make to that report from the standpoint of
accuracy of the report.
Mr. KANTOR. No; it is complete, to the best of my knowledge.
