United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. But apparently he thought you were referring to an
all-clear signal just prior to the exit of Oswald from the jail?
Captain TALBERT. From the jail elevator; yes.
Mr. HUBERT. To get the whole matter straight, your point is you did
not give an all-clear signal to Captain Fritz just before Oswald was
brought out of the jail, is that correct?
Captain TALBERT. That is quite true. I was out in the driveway and
didn’t know Oswald was down myself. Lieutenant Wiggins has given a
deposition clarifying his asking about it coming off of the elevator,
but I thought if a conflict arose in Captain Fritz’ deposition, this
possibly would clear it up.
Mr. HUBERT. What you have told us just now, does it cover everything
you told me off the record?
Captain TALBERT. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. All right, sir; is there anything else?
Captain TALBERT. It’s been a pleasure talking to you.
Mr. HUBERT. Then I will just ask you this general question. Has
everything that we have talked about this morning been covered in the
record in one way or another?
Captain TALBERT. Yes; it has.
Mr. HUBERT. All right, sir; thank you very much. I appreciate your
coming down again.
TESTIMONY OF MARJORIE R. RICHEY
The testimony of Marjorie R. Richey was taken at 2:40 p.m., on July
21, 1964, at 200 Maryland Avenue NW., Washington, D.C., by Mr. Burt W.
Griffin, assistant counsel of the President’s Commission. Mr. Harold
Richey also was present.
Mr. GRIFFIN. It is customary in starting these depositions for the
interrogator to introduce himself. My name is Burt Griffin. I am a
member of the staff of the general counsel’s office of the President’s
Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy. The Commission
has been authorized as a result of an Executive order issued by
President Johnson November 29 and as a result of a joint resolution of
Congress to investigate into and to report back to the President on all
the facts surrounding the assassination of President Kennedy and the
death of Lee Harvey Oswald. We have a set of procedures which have been
set up by the Commission acting under the authority of the Executive
order and the joint resolution, and under the procedures I have been
given authority to take your deposition.
Now the general area of inquiry that we are going to be dealing with in
particular this afternoon has to do with the death of Lee Harvey Oswald
and most particularly what you, Mrs. Richey, know about Jack Ruby and
any contacts you had with him in particular in the few days just before
Oswald was killed. However, if you have any information that might be
of use to the Commission in any other area that we are investigating,
why of course, we would like very much to hear about it.
Did you receive a letter from the Commission requesting you to come
here? Would you state for the record when you received that letter?
Mrs. RICHEY. I got two.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When was the most recent?
