Mr. JENNER. You appreciate the existence of the President’s Commission and what the President’s Commission is engaged in, in the investigating of the assassination of President Kennedy and many members of your force have been very helpful to us and have been appearing these last 2 weeks by considerable number. Tell us about this whole incident from the beginning--when it first came to your attention, who brought it to your attention and what developed thereafter? Mr. BIGGIO. There was a friend of mine--she is a woman who I know through my wife. She formerly was employed at the same location that my wife is, and she called me at work following Ruby’s killing of Oswald. She said that a friend of hers had been into a restaurant in the downtown area and a mechanic had come in and had made mention of the fact that Oswald drove Ruby’s car for approximately a 2-week period that he knew of, that Oswald had brought the car there for repairs to his garage. The friend did not know where the garage was, did not know the mechanic’s name. The woman who called me didn’t want to give her friend’s name and get his name involved if she could possibly help it. Mr. JENNER. Who was it that called you? Mr. BIGGIO. Is it necessary for me to give that name? I believe with the information that was given me, it will not be necessary. Mr. JENNER. Has the information been furnished the FBI? Mr. BIGGIO. No; it has not. I believe with the information we get to further on it will show that her name isn’t needed. Mr. JENNER. All right. Mr. BIGGIO. I don’t object to giving her name except that she asked me not to give it. Mr. JENNER. All right; she didn’t want any publicity, is that it? Mr. BIGGIO. No; she doesn’t want any publicity on it. I don’t know why people are so scared of things like this, but if they get into court or before a panel or anything like that--at any rate, her friend doesn’t want his name used either, but I talked to my lieutenant about it, Lieutenant Revill, and he suggested that we go ahead and write it up on the grounds that by searching through the material in Ruby’s apartment and also through the material that had been taken from his automobile, we could possibly find a garage where a mechanic had done some work on his car. We would be able to contact the mechanic in that way without involving the two people who had called the information in.
