United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. On this story which appeared in the Dallas Times Herald
on Monday, November 25, on page A-35, which also, I don’t believe it
is a continuation of the previous story, because that previous story
appears on page A-9, and the previous story by Joe Sherman seems to
be concluded on that page. The reference to you in that same edition
of the Dallas Times Herald on page A-35 seems to be a continuation of
another story, and it refers to you in the same way, actually, that the
previous story referred to you. I am unable to tell whether it is a
story by Mr. Sherman or not, or whether it is a story by anyone else,
but I ask you whether or not you know of any way other than through
Sherman that the story on page A-35 could have been carried regarding
you, to wit, that you had worked for him and that you said Ruby had a
camera with him when he entered?
Mr. COX. You mean that would be in the Sunday paper, right?
Mr. HUBERT. No; that was the Monday paper.
Mr. COX. That would be the only way.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, you never made any kind of statement
concerning Ruby except the one you have referred to already and
explained? That is, the one made to, or which was overheard by Sherman?
Mr. COX. That’s right; definitely.
Mr. HUBERT. This may be repeating the point, but this second apparent
interview which is on page A-35, makes the flat statement that one
police sergeant who worked for Ruby, and you are later identified as
being that one, said that Ruby had a camera with him, indicating that
you had seen him, and is it your opinion that this could only have come
from the overhearing of your conversation with Kris by this writer
called Sherman?
Mr. COX. Definitely.
Mr. HUBERT. In any case, to get the record straight on it, you never
saw Ruby enter with a camera?
Mr. COX. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Nor did you in fact say that he did?
Mr. COX. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. All right, Sergeant Cox, anything else you want to comment?
Mr. COX. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. There has been no conversation between us, I think, tonight
other than that which was recorded, is that correct?
Mr. COX. That’s right.
