United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Captain KING. There has not been any change in our written policy, only
I know the chief has said--I heard him say on more than one occasion
that if we were faced with the same circumstances again, he would
certainly restrict the presence of the newsmen there and we would act
differently from the manner in which we did this time, but so far as
any change having been made in the written policy of the department, I
don’t know anything about it.
Mr. HUBERT. Of course, it is always easier in retrospect to know what
is the best thing to do, but part of a study after all is to see what
is the best thing to do.
Captain KING. Oh, yes; I think you could probably get an excellent
argument with a lot of points on both sides right now on a discussion
of what the proper treatment of the newsmen would be.
Mr. HUBERT. Given this same situation?
Captain KING. Given this same situation--yes; with the benefit of
hindsight and with the benefit of the experience you had--I think you
could raise many points--good points on both sides.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I have handed you previously two statements of
interviews with you by the FBI. I am marking a statement which is dated
January 25, 1964, by putting in the right margin the following: “May
28, 1964, Dallas, Tex., Exhibit No. 1, deposition of Capt. Glen D.
King, Leon D. Hubert, Jr.,” and then my signature, and I ask you if you
have read that report of the interview of you by FBI Agents Clements
and Sayres, and if you consider that to be a correct and proper report
of the interview?
Captain KING. Yes; sir.
Mr. HUBERT. I have also marked for identification an earlier interview
of you by FBI Agent Leo Robertson on December 9 and December 10, 1963,
and for the purpose of identification, I have marked that document as
follows: “May 28, 1964, Dallas, Tex., Exhibit No. 2, deposition of
Capt. Glen D. King,” and I have signed my name, and since it consists
of 2 pages, I have put my initials in the lower right-hand corner. I
think you have read that document, and I ask you if it is a correct and
fair statement of your interview with FBI Agent Robertson?
Captain KING. I think there is nothing in that that is incorrect. I
believe I told Agent Robertson at that time that I had in my memory
seen Jack Ruby one time prior. I had known him since 1955 or 1956, I
believe, and I think my statement to him was that I had first met him
at that time when I was in the vice squad, and I had seen him one time
since then and I had heard the name.
Mr. HUBERT. You did not see him at any time in the Dallas Police
Department building from November 22 until the shooting?
Captain KING. Not until the shooting--no, sir.
