United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. Well, I don’t know that I followed you about what exactly
you remembered about Oswald. I think perhaps we can better repeat it
then. What did you, in fact, irrespective of what you stated to them,
what did you, in fact, remember then about seeing Oswald in Ruby’s club?
Mr. CROWE. I had--it seemed to me that his face was familiar, and I
had possibly seen him in the club the week before and used him in
association with the memory routine that I did.
Mr. HUBERT. You told that to the press?
Mr. CROWE. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. And you told it actually as one of four events which you
have described as a series of coincidences?
Mr. CROWE. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. I think that later you were shown a picture of Oswald, were
you not?
Mr. CROWE. I don’t recall that. I had seen a picture in the newspaper.
But I don’t recall being shown a picture.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you recall being interviewed by the FBI and Secret
Service?
Mr. CROWE. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. At that time, didn’t they display a picture of Oswald to
you?
Mr. CROWE. They may have, I don’t remember.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you recall what your recollection concerning the
identification of Oswald in Ruby’s club was when you spoke to the FBI
and the agents of the Secret Service?
Mr. CROWE. That I had thought possibly I had seen Oswald the week
before.
Mr. HUBERT. By the week before you mean the week commencing on the 11th?
Mr. CROWE. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. Can you now or have you ever been able to fix the time of
that possible event more closely than just simply the week before?
Mr. CROWE. No, no.
Mr. HUBERT. Now when did it first occur to you that you had seen Oswald
in the club?
Mr. CROWE. When I saw his picture in the paper Saturday or Sunday
morning, I guess it was.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you convey your impression to anyone?
Mr. CROWE. Not before the radio newsman in front of the club.
Mr. HUBERT. Is there any reason why you did not?
Mr. CROWE. I had seen no one before then. Hardly anybody to speak to.
Mr. HUBERT. I am thinking from this point of view. You tell me that you
had on Saturday come to some tentative conclusion that possibly you had
seen this man in the Carousel Club the week before.
Mr. CROWE. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Did it occur to you that that information could be valuable
to the police?
Mr. CROWE. No.
Mr. HUBERT. And you spoke to no one at all from the time you woke up on
the afternoon of the 22d at 4 o’clock, until you met these radio people
in front of the club?
Mr. CROWE. Oh, yes, I had been out at Tom Palmer’s house that Saturday
night.
Mr. HUBERT. Was that the only person you saw or conversed with?
Mr. CROWE. Actually, yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you mention to him that you had thought you had seen or
it was possible that you had seen Oswald?
Mr. CROWE. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Can you tell us why not, because may I suggest to you that
it would have been quite a topic of conversation. Also the coincidences
that you mentioned were almost there at that time?
