Warren Commission (15 of 26): Hearings Vol. XV (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
What I would like to have clarified now was whether or not these
two documents, and which actually appear in different places in the
Clements’ report, and to which I have given two exhibit numbers, really
are a composite of the same interview, or does one of them refer to the
first half, such as you have described it, and another to the other
half? In other words, your interview was interrupted, you see, and I
don’t know whether this is a composite of all of it or whether one of
them deals with that first half, which went from 12:40 or 12:44 to 3:15
p.m. and the other part from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., just how it came to
be--that there were two separate documents?
Mr. HALL. These two documents are a composite of the entire interview.
The reason they were divided is for reporting purposes. By that, I
mean, that the first document relates to the events that happened.
Mr. HUBERT. And by that “the first document” would you use by
identification the exhibit numbers I have given them--which one do you
mean by “the first”? The first one in Clements’, of course, is Exhibit
No. 2, as far as physical position is concerned, because it runs from
page 13 to page 18 of the first volume of the Clements’ report of
November 30.
Mr. HALL. Your exhibit number here is wrong.
Mr. HUBERT. That’s Commission Document No. 4, you see?
Mr. HALL. And this is what [indicating]?
Mr. HUBERT. Well, this is Commission Document No. 4 too, but different
volumes.
Mr. HALL. Commission Document No. 4, vol. 1, relates primarily to the
event that happened involving Jack Ruby.
Mr. HUBERT. That has been identified by us as Exhibit No. 2 for this
deposition.
Mr. HALL. Yes; Exhibit No. 1, which is Commission Document No. 4, vol.
2, relates to background information. In this report we tried to set up
a section of the report dealing with the background of Ruby.
Another section dealing with the event surrounding the murder of Lee
Harvey Oswald was set up, and it was for that reason that there were
two separate reports of an interview here set out, but it was actually
a composite of the information obtained during this time between 12:40
p.m. and 5:30 p.m. on November 24, 1963.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I notice from your report and principally, for
example, at the bottom of page 15 on Exhibit No. 2 that Ruby refused
to answer certain things and would not say, for instance, how he got
into the basement and why he brought his revolver and so forth. Do you
recall, or is there any way you can tell us whether that denial on
his part came before or after he was interviewed by his attorney, Mr.
Howard?
Mr. HALL. Well----
Mr. HUBERT. I notice that you are referring to some notes; are those
the notes that you took contemporaneously with the interviewing?
Mr. HALL. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Have you a copy that will be available for introducing into
the record?
Mr. HALL. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. These are your entire notes on the transactions?
Mr. HALL. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. You say there are two parts?
