Warren Commission (15 of 26): Hearings Vol. XV (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. CROWE. Right. I think he had the newsman call me.
Mr. HUBERT. And you are not certain whether Hoy called you or you
called Hoy?
Mr. CROWE. No. There were about 3 or 4 calls going out----
Mr. HUBERT. Were you present, where did this second call take place
from, where were you when you made the second call?
Mr. CROWE. Right at the motel.
Mr. HUBERT. You say there were some more calls that day between you and
Hoy?
Mr. CROWE. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. What were they about?
Mr. CROWE. He had called me once, and said that the American News, I
think, or the American Broadcasting, the word American comes to my
mind, had suggested that he tell me to make myself scarce or to hide
out or to move and let my whereabouts not be known.
Mr. HUBERT. Did he say why you should take such action?
Mr. CROWE. He said that it had been expressed to him that my life would
be in danger.
Mr. HUBERT. Did he tell you why he thought or he had heard that your
life might be in danger?
Mr. CROWE. Because I had mentioned about seeing Oswald in the club.
Mr. HUBERT. Did he say who would be interested at all in killing you
for that reason?
Mr. CROWE. He didn’t know. He was just expressing what he said he had
heard from another news media. And maybe they were thought friends of
Jack’s, you know, or I don’t know.
Mr. HUBERT. Well now, you made, I think, a previous statement both to
the FBI and--I think you gave an affidavit in Dallas--to the Secret
Service attested by a notary public--no, by Mr. John Joe Howlett,
special agent of the Secret Service. For purposes of identification, I
am going to mark these two documents which I am going to show you in a
moment as follows to wit, first of all, the FBI report dated November
24, or rather which purports to be a report on an interview with you
on November 24th by FBI Agents Robert Lish and Emory Morton. For the
purpose of identification I am going to mark this document on the
right-hand margin as follows: “Washington, D.C., June 2, 1964, Exhibit
No. 1, deposition of William D. Crowe, Jr.”, signing my name below
that, the document consisting of one page only. And another document
which purports to be an affidavit given by you on November 25 at 1 p.m.
attested by John Joe Howlett, special agent of the U.S. Secret Service
with Pauline Churchill as a witness. For purposes of identification I
am marking that document as follows, to wit, “Washington, D.C., June
2, 1964, Exhibit No. 2, Deposition of William D. Crowe, Jr.”, and I am
signing my name below on that.
(The documents referred to were marked Crowe Exhibits Nos. 1 and 2 for
identification.)
