United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HALL. I have three copies of the same thing here for your benefit,
Mr. Hubert. There are 3 pages there.
Mr. HUBERT. I understand; is this your entire notes?
Mr. HALL. This is an interview log in which I set forth the
circumstances of the interview. These are not my notes on the actual
interview. I do not have my notes of that interview. I took my notes
and prepared these reports of the interview and I commenced the night
following the interview and after that was typed up, then I destroyed
the notes that I took at the time.
Mr. HUBERT. So, actually the running notes of the interviews themselves
do not exist?
Mr. HALL. That’s right.
Mr. HUBERT. That is, as I understand it, standard practice and the
interview notes are destroyed after the report is made?
Mr. HALL. After the report of the interview has been prepared. In this
case it was a matter of hours following that, and this represents my
notes in effect because it was prepared from them.
Mr. HUBERT. It was prepared directly from them?
Mr. HALL. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. And immediately--the same day?
Mr. HALL. Immediately afterwards; it probably actually was extended
after midnight that night.
Mr. HUBERT. What you have handed me as being your notes is really a log?
Mr. HALL. Yes, sir. It’s a log showing the times, the date, who was
present, and specifically the times and what happened.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, I’m going to mark it for the purpose of
identification as follows: “Dallas, Texas, May 28, 1964, Exhibit No. 4
of the deposition of C. Hay Hall.” On the first page I am signing my
name below that. There is a second page which I am initialing in the
lower right-hand corner and a third page which I am initialing in the
right hand corner, and Mr. Hall, you have been kind enough to supply
me with two extra copies which I thank you for, but I will just mark
the one for identification, and I think you have already testified
concerning what it is.
Mr. HALL. Back to your previous question as to whether this denial on
the part of Ruby was before or after his conference with an attorney,
Mr. Tom Howard, I believe his conference with Mr. Howard was after that
denial?
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, he had refused to tell you he got in, in
effect?
Mr. HALL. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Prior to having talked with Mr. Howard?
Mr. HALL. Yes; I based that on the time he went there, because his
conference with Mr. Howard was almost 2 o’clock and there was only--a
majority of the interview had been conducted before then.
Mr. HUBERT. Which was--an hour and 15 minutes it had been going on
already?
Mr. HALL. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Was he speaking freely to you?
Mr. HALL. Yes, sir.
