United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Chief CURRY. I don’t recall it.
Mr. HUBERT. There was some indication, I guess from him, that there was
such a conversation, but you say you don’t remember it?
Chief CURRY. I don’t recall it.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you get any written reports from Archer, Clardy and
McMillon in February prior to the Ruby trial, which were supplementary
to the original report given to you, do you remember?
Chief CURRY. I don’t recall. I would have to check my records on it.
Mr. HUBERT. I wonder if you could do that?
Chief CURRY. If you will give me their names, write them down for me.
Mr. HUBERT. Yes, sir; my handwriting is reputed to be very bad. Let’s
see, it is A-r-c-h-e-r, C-l-a-r-d-y, and M-c-M-i-l-l-o-n.
Chief CURRY. Now if this is in regard to a conversation that they
overheard up in the jail between Ruby and a Secret Service agent, well,
I remember getting something about that. I know someone came back and
asked for some additional reports on this. Do you know what this is in
regard to, this supplemental report?
Mr. HUBERT. I think they were in regard to what Ruby told them.
Chief CURRY. Down in the basement?
Mr. HUBERT. Either that, or immediately after having been brought
upstairs.
Chief CURRY. Yes, sir; that is true. This was in the presence of Secret
Service Agent Sorrels; yes.
Mr. HUBERT. The statements we would like to have are any other written
statements made by them probably in February, but in any case prior
to the Ruby trial and after their original statements were made in
connection with the general order that everyone should make a statement
to you. Do you remember that that was done? Do you recall the message
from Mr. J. Edgar Hoover asking that the police not disclose the
results of the FBI investigation with reference to Oswald?
Chief CURRY. I don’t recall ever having received a direct communication
from Hoover.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you remember anything about any FBI request coming to
your attention indirectly that the FBI investigation would not be
revealed?
Chief CURRY. What part of the investigation?
Mr. HUBERT. Any part. I mean was there any such communication, that you
remember, at all from the FBI?
Chief CURRY. I had a lot of communications from local FBI who inferred
that these orders were coming out of Washington, or the questions
were coming out of Washington about various things, insisting that
the evidence be shipped up there immediately, and the fact that we
shouldn’t show anything on television.
Several things of that nature, but I don’t recall specifically saying
that the results of this investigation should not be revealed. They did
reveal a part of it, you know, about the rifle.
As you recall it, there was no evidence--pardon me. There was no part
of their investigation revealed until they revealed it as I recall. I
never had any contact with Hoover.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know yourself as to what food was made available to
Oswald during the time he was in the custody of the police department?
