Mr. GRIFFIN. Thank you very much.
Mr. HUBERT. We will have those photostated and if you could call in
some time tomorrow we will see if we can’t arrange to get them to you,
or mail them, or do something.
Mr. KANTOR. If you don’t mind, I would like to pick them up, but wonder
if I could pick them up Friday.
TESTIMONY OF WILLIAM D. CROWE, JR.
The testimony of William D. Crowe, Jr., was taken at 2:30 p.m., on
June 2, 1964, at 200 Maryland Avenue NE., Washington, D.C., by Messrs.
Leon D. Hubert, Jr., and Burt W. Griffin, assistant counsel of the
President’s Commission.
Mr. HUBERT. This is a deposition of Mr. William D. Crowe, Jr., who also
uses the professional or stage name of Bill DeMar.
Mr. Crowe, my name is Leon D. Hubert and I am a member of the advisory
staff of the general counsel on the President’s Commission under
the provisions of Executive Order 11130 issued by President Johnson
on November 29, 1963, the joint resolution of Congress No. 137, and
the rules and procedure adopted by the President’s Commission in
conformance with that Executive order and that joint resolution, I have
been authorized to take a sworn deposition from you.
I state to you now that the general nature of the Commission’s inquiry
is to ascertain, evaluate, and report upon the facts relevant to the
assassination of President Kennedy, and the subsequent violent death
of Lee Harvey Oswald. In particular as to you, Mr. Crowe, the nature
of the inquiry is to determine what facts you know about the death of
Oswald or the relationship that there might have been between Oswald
and Ruby and any other pertinent facts that you may know about the
general inquiry. Now, Mr. Crowe, you appear today, I believe, by virtue
of a letter addressed to you by Mr. J. Lee Rankin, general counsel of
the staff of the President’s Commission, is that correct?
Mr. CROWE. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. When did you receive it?
Mr. CROWE. Friday; Friday, I guess.
Mr. HUBERT. That would have been the 29th of May, is that correct?
Mr. CROWE. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. I notice you are looking at an envelope. Is that the
envelope?
Mr. CROWE. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. That it came in?
Mr. CROWE. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. What is the post date on it?
Mr. CROWE. That is what I am looking for. It has no post date. The
thing is blank.
Mr. HUBERT. What is the date of the letter itself?
Mr. CROWE. May 28; so it must have been the 29th.
Mr. HUBERT. You think you received it on the 29th, last Friday. Is that
correct?
Mr. CROWE. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. All right. Now would you please stand, sir, so I may
administer the oath. Raise your right hand. Do you solemnly swear that
the testimony you are about to give will be the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Mr. CROWE. I do.
Mr. HUBERT. Will you state your name for the record, please, sir?
Mr. CROWE. William D. Crowe, Jr.
