United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. RICHEY. The first one was sent to Dallas. This was before Harold
and I were married. You had better stop because I am wrong. Hal and I
were married in December and I talked to the FBI before this, and they
had my name Ethier, that was before I was married. They had my address
in Dallas. So Hal and I moved up here. They sent the letter to my home
in Texas and my sister signed for the letter, and then she called me
and she sent it to me airmail special delivery. So I could read it
myself, and it took 3 days.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What we are concerned about, of course, is the most recent
letter that you got in connection with this appearance.
Mrs. RICHEY. This is it, and I got it yesterday.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You are entitled under the rules of the Commission to have
written notice 3 days in advance of your appearing here.
Mrs. RICHEY. I wished I had known that.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I will ask you if, nonetheless, you are willing to go
ahead.
Mrs. RICHEY. Oh; let’s go ahead.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And give us the testimony. Do you have any questions
before we start about the nature of the investigation?
Mrs. RICHEY. No; I don’t think so.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I don’t know if there is anything that I could clarify for
you. I think it fairly obvious from what I have said the general areas
we are going to cover. Let me ask you to raise your right hand then and
I will administer the oath to you. Do you solemnly swear the testimony
you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth; so help you God?
Mrs. RICHEY. I do.
