Lee Rankin General Counsel President's Co:imission on the Assassination of President Kennedy 200 Maryland Avenue I.E VJashington, D. C. 20002 Dear I-Ir. Rankin: This is in reply to your letter of 2 June 1964 relative to marksmanship capabilities of Lee Karvey OSWALD, forraer Private First Class, 1653230, U. S. I-Iarine Corps. In view of the lapse of tine since Kr, Osv;ald was separated froa the Marine Corps, it would be impossible to ascertain precisely the number of hours in which he participated in weapons marksmanship practice or how many rounds of aro-munition he fired. In addition, the service records of the Marine Corps are designed only to shov; v;hat formalized marksmanship practice and marksmanship qualification courses a Marine has fired. As you will note from Mjt. Osv;ald's service record book, a copy of v;hich I believe the Commission has in its custody, the form marked NAVMC llo(6)-PD (Rev. 7-54) shows Mr. Oswald's weapons firing record. During the time Osv.-ald fired at the V'eapons Training Battalion, Marine Corps Recruit Depot, he was attached to the Second Recmait Training Battalion, T-Iarine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, California. At the time he completed familiarization firing at the range at the L"aval Air Station, Atsugi, Japan, he was attached to Marine Air Control Squadron 1,* Marine Aircraft Group 11, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing. At the times he fired the range at the Marine Corps Air Facility, Santa Ana, and Marine Corps Air Station, 21 Toro, California, he was attached to Marine Air Control Squadron 9i Marine '>.'ing Headquarters Group, 3d Marine Aircraft V/ing, jl The information provided to the right of the final qualification column is not contained in his service records but is based upon regulations in effect at the time. In addition, under course "A" you will notice the entry of 2121-'2U This final qualification score being designated as MM (marksman) is in error and should have read SS (sharpshooter).

Enclosed, however, are copies of T'arine Corps regulations describing the several marksmanship courses. These were effective at the time Oswald v;as on active duty in the Marine Corps. The Marine Corps considers that any reasonable application of the instructions given to Marines should permit them to become qualified at least as a marksman. To become qualified as a sharpshooter, the Marine Corps is of the opinion that Andbbson Exhibit No. 1 —Continued 17 DG-bmt 8 Jun 1964 most Marines with a reasonable amount of adaptability to weapons firing can become so qualified. Consequently, a low marksman qualification indicates a rather poor "shot" and a sharpshooter qualification indicates a fairly good "shot". I trust the foregoing will serve the purpose of your inquiry* A. G. FOLSOM, JR. Lieutenant Colonel U. 3.

He stated he did not know when the information to transfer OSWALD was released to the press or what time it was given to the press. He stated he was at no time advised of the plans for transferring OSWALD, nor does he know what instructions were given to fellow officers. ARCHER feels possibly the reason for security breakdown was the presence of such a large number of news media personnel allowed to cover the transfer of OSWALD present in the basement of the Dallas City Police Department. The 'orilliant illumination sent by lights set up for television camera made it impossible to see any distance, thus obscuring anyone's vision looking into these lights. c^r n Abcher Exhibit No. 5093— Continued 23 Abmsteong Exhibit No. 5300-A 24 ^^ Depositioii. _Ex.No.5300-C aRMSTRONG.A.

At the time he got of I the bus he noticed that the Presidential Motorcade, or a large cr>owd of people watching the Motorcade , were at Main and Lcunar Streets, a few blocks west of where he got off the bus. >^ Upon alighting from the bus, he walked to the Carousel Club, . C^ whibh took him approximately four or five minutes. He estimates ? he krrived at the Carousel Club at about 12:30 PM. "x \ 1 . Upon arrival at the club, he went to a room the rear il v m . of the club and took off his jacket and then went to the men's N rooih. While in the men's room, he heard sirens and it sounded to '^ himjas though there were many more than just one or two sirens. ^ He became curious about this and consequently left the men's room .\ and went to another room^ where he keeps his portable I'adio. He ^ tuned it to Station KLIF, Dallas, and announc«jments were being ^i made over the radio that someone had fired at the Presidential A Motorcade. He then immediately ran to a room in the club, where H- ^ CURTIS LAVERNE CRAFARD, commonly known as LARRY, was sleeping, .) ^j' and awakened him. He told LARRY that someone had just shot at the ^\\L,I 1^-^ President. LARRY, being a very hard sleeper, did not awaken oH comp^-etely at that time and did not get up. V. "^ i I He, ARMSTRONG, then listened to the radio for two or J --^^ ^ thre4 more minutes and heard several apparently confused announce- ,,\ ments on the radio and heard that the car carrying President j j^ KENNEDY was on its way to Parkland Hospital, He then returned to r ^ the room where CRAFARD. was sleeping and awakened him, CRAFARD got"^ j up cind got dressed.

RUBY talked to him for three or four minutes, and he surmised that RUBY was calling to tell him . that the President had been shot; however, RUBY apparently heard his radio playing in the background and said, "Qh, you have already heard?" and he told RUBY that he had. RUBY at that time told him, "If anything happens, we are going to close the club." RUBY then told him that he would see him after a short while. ARMSTRONG recalls that RUBY forgot to ask him if he had fed the dogs, which he keeps at the club inasmuch as it was RUBY's regular habit almost every time he called ARMSTRONG to ask him if the dogs have been fed. He, ARMSTRONG, kept the radio tuned to Station KLIF, Ij Dallas, for the remainder of that afternoon. At approximately i 1:30 PM, he heard the official announcement when it was first made, that President KENNEDY was dead. } Prior to the announcement of President KENNEDY'S death, he had heard several announcements on the radio station to the effect that an officer of the Dallas Police Department had been i shot. He does not recall hearing the name of the police officer during these announcements and believes, to the best of his recollection, that the of f icer had not been identified by name at. the time these announcements were made. About fifteen or twenty minutes after hearing the first official announcement of the death of President KENNEDY, JACK L, RUBY arrived at the Carousel Club. He, ARMSTRONG, believes this was at approximately 1:45 or 1:50 PM. RUBY appeared to be dis- traught and mumbled something about "What a terrible thing." ruby's first coherent statement after his arrival at the club was that the club was closed and would be closed for the next three days. ruby immediately went to a telephone which has telephone , number RI 7-2362 and started making telephone calls. He had completed one or two telephone calls within a matter of less than five minutes when they both overheard an announcement on Radio Station KLIF to the effect that Officer TXPPIT of the Dallas Police Aemstbong Exhibit No. 5310-G —Continued 101 ish!- *«'.«^^:-Ji,-».*diiLr«s«Bew!««i*6«*.r. ->. >'- - DL ^^-l639 Department had been shot and killed, RUBY mentioned to him, ARMSTRONG, at that time that he knew Officer TIPPIT. ARMSTRONG said he believes that this may have been the first announcement on Station KLIF which identified by name the officer who had been shot. (It has been established through records of the Dallas Police Department that Officer J. D. TIPPIT waa shot and killed at approximately 1:18 PM, November 22, 1963.) I JACK L. RUBY remained at the Carousel Club until approximately t:00 PM. ARMSTRONG said he could not be accurate about that time but this is the best estimate he could give as - to when RUBY left the Carousel Club, During the time RUBY was there, he gave ARMSTRONG instructions to contact all of the Carousel Club employees and tell them that the club would be closed Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday night. He, ARMSTRONG, started making these telephone calls at about 2:30 PM, One of the persons he called was "LITTLE LYNN", who resides in Fort Worth, Texas, RUBY was on the telephone almost all of the time he was in the club and made several long-distance telephone calls, as well as numerous local telephone calls, RUBY was crying nearly all of this time. He, ARMSTRONG, knows, through hearing names mentioned and cities mentioned by RUBY while making these telephone calls, that long-distance calls were made that day to Arlington, Texas, where RUBY talked to RALPH PAUL, and to Detroit, Michigan; Chicago, Illinois, and Los Angeles, California. The only local telephone calls that he, ARMSTRONG, can identify were calls made to EVA L. GRANT and Dr. COLEMAN JACOBSON. He, ARMSTRONG, has no personal knowledge of any activities, travels or whereabouts of JACK L, RUBY between the time RUBY called him from the Dallas Morning News Building and the time RUBY arrived at the Carousel Club. RUBY did not discuss that time period with him, and he has no way of knowing of RUBY's activities at that time, RUBY has never mentioned to him any intention of going to Parkland Hospital, Dallas, or of having gone there at any time. /ARMSTRONG, advised that he recalls that sometime between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM he answered the telephone at the Carousel Club and a woman asked to speak to Mr. RUBY. He recalls telling this woman that Mr. RUBY was at that time talking on another telephone and the woman asked him to have Mr. RUBY return her call as soon as possible* This woman gave him a telephone number, and he belxeves he recalls the name ALICE being mentioned by the woman as ' her name* He knows that this woman was not euaong his own Armstrong Exhibit No. 5310-G —Continued 102 o o DL U1-1639 acquaintances although he has heard of a woman by the name of ALICE NICHOLS who was a former girl friend of JACK Lr RUBY. ARMSTRONG said with regard to the foregoing informa- tion that due to the passage of time since the events set out ! above and the general state of confusion at the time these events were occurring, he could not be certain to the minute with regard to the times of day set out above. He stated, however, that after reflection, and after going over these stated times of day, he believes they are accurate to within a few minutes, to the Ibest of his recollection, j ARMSTRONG related that he does not recall any woman Ivisiting JACK L. RUBY at the Carousel Club during the afternoon j:of November 22, 1963, and he does not recall RUBY having gone to 'his office or having been in his office at the club during that afternoon.. He said that RUBY usually does most of his paper work at a table near the front door of the club where the telephone is [located. He said thdre is another telephone in the club which is a pay station and which has telephone number Riverside 1-0289, He said he does not recall JACK L.

From his arrival at the Police Department to approximately 9:30 AM, he was in his assigned office doing paper work. He then went down to the basement of the Police Department, where Captain TALBE RT requested him to watch an basement attempting to secure the release of two of his employee's'. About(10:00 AM, Captain 0. A. JONES passed by and requested that he wait by^th«-^ail elevator and meet the contingent of detec- tives from the third floor who were coming down to aid in the transfer of OSWALD and have them remain at the elevator for assignments. At approximately 10:10 AM, Captain JONES instructed the detectives to form a double line along the walls of the anteway and into the far side of the garage. Captain JONES also asked the press not to ask questions of OSWALD. To his recollection, a Patrolman NELSON and one reserve policeman were in the basement on the other side of the double doors from the garage checking everyone who entered. After the double line was formed, only one TV cameraman was allowed through the double doors from the basement interior. Around 11:30 AM, OSWALD was brought down in the elevator and passed through the line of officers, preceded by Lieut. R. E. SWAIN and Captain WILL FRITZ. Detectives J. R. LEAVELLE and L. C. GRAVES were on either side of OSWALD and Detective L. D. MONTGOMERY immediately behind OSWALD, When OSWALD entered the driveway area of the basement, the members of the press surged forward and someone yelled for OSWALD to make a statement. At this time BEATY leaned slightly forward and looked around at the group of pressmen, anticipating having to move forward to keep the crowd back.

He saw Detective GRAVES remove a snub- nosed pistol from RUBY's hand as RUBY was forced to the floor. He did not see anyone prior to the time of the shooting whom he knew to be other than a policeman or a member of the press. He estimates over 100 people other than police officers were in the basement at the time of the shooting, none of whom he could call by name. He has known RUBY for six or seven years, only casually, and had no extended conversations with him. Some time, exact date not recalled, he wrote a traffic ticket for a violation which RUBY committed in his presence. He last saw RUBY about four weeks prior to the shooting. He did not speak with OSWALD or RUBY after the shooting. He does not know of any police officer or ex-police officer who has ever worked for RUBY. He has no knowledge of any political activity or beliefs of RUBY. He did not know OSWALD prior to the assassination and has no knowledge of any connection between OSV/ALD and RUBY. He understands the garage area v;as searched by a group of officers prior to bringing OSWALD down. He personally sa w MELBA ^|P|'^MQSA, an employee at the Police Department Information Desk, fvefused admittance to the basement just prior to the shooting. He noticed the reserve policeman inside the basement at the double doors challenge Captain JONES, who was in plain clothes at sometime before the shooting. He did not personally request identification of anyone since he understood the entrances to the basement were being guarded and identification was required for persons to enter.

His ';^ assignment was to obtain photographs of, the transfer of OSWALD . from the Dallas Police Jail to the Dallas County Jail. He w ^r ^^ ^ , . arrived in the basement of the Policy and Courts Building at approximately 9:00 a.m. and stationed himself on a railing in the east side of the drive-through ramp which would place him directly across this ramp from the entrance to the book-in desk of the Dallas City Jail.

He was not required to show identification to get into . the basement of the Police and Courts Building; however, he was carrying his camera and is personally acquainted with practically all police officials in Dallas, having bean associated with Dallas newspapers for at least the last 18 years, and he is sure the officers who saw him in the basement Tknew who he was and were acquainted withJilm.

This was a story for a magazine, and he and BAYSE spent all day at JACK RUBY's Carousel Club for the purpose of ob- taining material for this story. That was his only con- nection with RUBY, and he does not know whether RUBY would remember him or not. At the time of the shooting, he could observe only the back of JACK RUBY and did not even recognize the person as RUBY until he was told by an officer the identity of the person shooting OSWALU. He thought at the time that RUBY was a detective who had gone berserk. Mr. BEERS stated that he is sure JACK RUBY was not in the basement of the Police and Courts Building during the greater part of the morning and is sure that he was not \ there prior to the time a large group of press personnel Y\ came out of the building into the drive- through ramp area ia few minutes prior to the shooting. He feels sure that had jRUBY been there prior to the time of the arrival of the I crowd he would have seen and recognized RUBY. He did not talk to RUBY any time between November 22 and 24, 1963. He feels that the police officers were taken com- pletely by surprise by RUBY's actions and saw nothing whatever to indicate to him that there was any conspiracy on the part of anyone to permit RUBY to infiltrate the crowd and kill OSWALD. Mr. BEERS stated he observed the following persons present at the time of the shooting representing press media: BOB JACKSON, Times Herald IKE PAPPAS, WNEW, ; New York City; MIKE SMITH, Associated Press, Los Angeles; JIM ENGLISH, WBAP, Fort Worth; and (FNU) JOHNSON, United Press IntemaClonal.

BEERS stated that he arrUred in the basement of the Municipal Building at approximately 9 a.m. , having been assigned this duty by his paper. At the time he arrived there were approximately ten to twelve people in the basement and NBC and CBS television cameras were already in place. These cameras were located dii?ectly opposite the double doors through which OSWALD would be brought for loading into the conveyance foP transportation to the Dallas County Jail. BEERS was not challenged by anyone on entering and came Into the basement down the steps from Comnerce Street. BEEPS does not recall that the cameramen or newsmen there at the time had any identification badges or other means of identification which were visible. Seers located a spot jnst to the left of the NBC camera, sitting on the top of two railings. He stated that he had made arrangements with the NBC cameraman to tap him on thq leg as OSWALD turned the comer frco the corridor to the right toward the loading conveyance , which would permit BEERS to get out of the way of the TV camera which would be panning and following the route of OSWALD. At approximately 20 minutes to 11 BEERS estitiated the crowd had \ increased to approximately •»0 or 50 people, consisting of newsmen, photo- \ graphers, and cameramen, and he stated that he noticed just behind where the cameras were set up and where he was stationed^, there was a line of Tinlformed Dallas Policemen. The news reporters were standing in front of BEERS and from BEERS' position on the railing above them he had decided to shoot for one clear photograph of OSWALD'S face as he came down the corridor, this shot to be made over ^he heads of the newsmen present.

Inc., 1517 Commerce Street, Dallas. On the afternoon of November 23, 19o3, the day following .. the assassination of President KENNEDY, BELLOCCHIO met a friend, TOM APPLE, 2124 Forrest Cakes, Dallas, at Sol's Turf Bar, r^N Commerce Street. BELLOCCHIO estimated the time that he and TOM APPLE were at Sol's Turf Bar as between 4:00 and 2:00 p.m. While sitting at the bar discussing the death of President KENNEDY with APPLE, BELLOCCHIO decided to walk towards the rear of the bar. BELLOCCHIO who has known JACK RUBY casually for approximately 7-8 years, saw RUBY standing away from the bar and he stopped to talk with RUBY. During their conversation BELLOCCHIO took from his pocket a folded full page article prepared by BERNARD WEISMAN that had appared in a Dallas newspaper on November 22, 1963. RUBY upon seeing the article, became very upset and loud and he told BELLOCCHIO that he had been to the newspaper office and had been advised that there was no such person by the name of BERNARD WEISMAN. RUBY also was disturbed by the name WEISMAN as RUBY felt that the name may have been used to create anti-semitic feelings. RUBY told BELLOCCHIO th6t he had learned that the ad placed by the person using the name WEISMAN had been partially paid in cash and that a third of; the price of the ad still remained unpaid, BELLOCCHIO is' specific in this recollection because he thought that It was odd that the paper would accept an ad on partial payment. RUBY then displayed to BELLOCCHIO a polaroid photograph - of an outdoor sign board displaying the sign, "Impeach EARL WARREN." BELLOCCHIO stated that RUBY thought the sign board Improper and did not like it. It is BELLOCCHIO 's recollection that RUBY had two copies of the photograph and BELLOCCHIO asked RUBY for a copy of the photograph.

RUBY and BELLOCCHIO then walked to the frbnt'{of the bar where TOM APPLE was sitting and BELLOCCHIO showed APPLE the photograph. BELLOCCHIO again asked RUBY for the photograph but RUBY again refused and said that he wanted to make sure that the photograph got into the right hands. It is BELLOCCHIO 's recollection that RUBY may have used the word "scoop" in stating his reasons for not giving BELLOCCHIO the photograph. It is BELLOCCHIO 'a opinion that RUBY may have had ist mis^d furnishing the photograph to the newspaper. • According to BELLOCCHIO, during the time that he talked to and saw RUBY at the bar, RUBY was not drinking and he gave no inference of having been drinking. Shortly there- after, RUBY departed the bar alone.

"I realised it when I saw Mrs. Kennedy, whom I recognised immediately,'' she said, "She was sitting in the back of the car with the President's head in her lap. She was bending over him and covered in blood." — Miss Bowron who arrived in Dallas from her home in Buxton, Derbyshire, — only three months ago was working in the minor surgery part of the emergency section when she heard a loudspeaker call for nurses to bring in an incoming patient. Within minutes she was caught up in the drama she will remember all her life. "We had to get Governor Connally out of the car first, because he was in the front seat," she explained. "When we brought in the President he was covered with petals from the flowers which Mrs. Kennedy was carrying, and as we worked on him they were scattered all over the floor of the room." She helped to cut off the President's clothes and to hand the doctors the equip- ment for the intravenous injections, blood transfusion and tracheotomy which they tried. "Mrs. Kennedy came into the room with the trolley, and stayed until it became too crowded. The hospital .staff tried to i>ersuade her to stay outside, but she came back in just as he died. "After he died, she kissed his hand, then took off her wetlding ring and slipped it on to his wedding finger. It came just up to the knuckle." BowBON Exhibit No. 2 167 'v-'' J\ .

DIED BRITISH GIRL FOR KENNEDY NURSE WAS AT HIS SIDE WHEN HE DIED by Siydney Brennan A PRETTY young English girl left her home for a job in Texas three months ago — with a burning ambition to meet the President of the United States. At 12 :50 p.m. on Friday 22-year-old Diana Bowron's wish was tragically realised . when she heli>ed to carry President .John F. Kennedy, dying from . . an assassin's bullets, into Parkland Hospital in Dallas. For Diana had answered a "routine emergency call," unaware that the patients were the critically wounded Mr. Kennedy and Governor John Connally. Yesterday speaking by telephone from the hospital, Diana, whose parents live in Robertson-road, Buxton, Derbyshire, said "It was the mast terrible and shock- : ing experience of my life." Diana, who was trained at Hoi>e Hospital, Salford, said "I realised who the : man in the car was as soon as I saw Jackie Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy was slumiied — forward in his seat and so was Mr. Connally. COVERED WITH BOUQUET PETALS "We had to bring in Mr. Connally first before we could get into the President. His jacket was covered with petals from Mrs. Kennedy's bouquet. "I helped to cut away Mr. Kennefly's clothing and to administer intravenous injections. Ten doctors and several nurses including myself— assisted Ln giving blood transfusions. Then I handed instruments to the doctors who performed a tracheotomy operation to assist his breathing. "But there was no hope for him. Mrs. Kennedy was there nearly all the time. She went out for a short while. But, in spite of what the doctors said, she came back in just as Mr. Kennedy died. "When he had died, Mrs. Kennedy kissed his hand. Then she took off her wedding ring and slipi)ed it on his wedding finger. But the ring only reached the first knuckle. "We all wept with Mrs. Kennedy. It was the most moving thing I have ever seen," added Diana. Diana, who spoke for ten minutes on a telephone call to her father, Mr. Maurice Bowron, .51, and his wife Beatrice, 48, expects to return to this country in nine months. "Diana always wanted to go to America, and when she noticed an advertise- ment for jobs in Dallas in a nursing journal she jumped at the chance," said Mrs. Bowron. Bowron Exhibit 3 —Continued 169 )?

She was one of the duty nurses in the emergency section at Parkland Hospital, Dallas, when the dying President was rushed there on Friday. Nurse Bowron, from Buxton, Derbyshire, who arrived in the United States only three months ago, told of the drama there 48 hours earlier. "All I noticed at first was the big ofiicial car. Then I spotted Mrs. Kennedy. "President Kennedy was lying with his head slumped in her lap. She was cradling his head. There was blood pouring from his wounds down her legs." The unconscious President was wheeled into the emergency operating room. Then began the most dramatic 30 minutes in Nurse Bowron's career. "There was blood all over his neck and shoulders," she said. "There was a gaping wound in the back of his head. "The doctors tried everything," she said. "They performed a tracheotomy to help his breathing, they tried massaging his heart manually." RING "At the beginning Mrs. Kennedy just sat on a chair at the side of the room, — not saying anything just staring into space. All she asked for was a glass of water. "When the room became crowded someone led her outside. "She didn't come back luitil the doctors finally decided President Kennedy was dead. "Then she stood by the table, lifted his hand and kissed it. She took off her wedtling ring and slipi)ed it on his finger." Yorkshire-born Miss Bowron heli)ed to lift the President's body into the bronze casket which had been bi"ought in. BowRON Exhibit No. 4 170 • o John Henry Branch Exhibit 1 1 Ul 44-1639 V.

I v,'as able to clarify that suspension was not .specific ally threatened. Mrs. said she felt the problem was ^^robably due to the chanj^e in environment and the problems that '^ee was having in adapting hLT.self to the new surroundings. At present, the boy hasn't been back to school since the hearintj, and it is "nearly drivirij' her crazy." To complicate things further, i-lrs. said she had to move and this will mean Lee will nave to. be trcJisferred to a new school because she is now out of the district which is covered by JHS 117. i-Irs. men- tioned that she had learned of us as a result of a phone call to tne Federation of Protestant Wol. Agency who in turn had suggested she call us. Mrs. was quite un- certain as to the Kind of services we have here and althou^ih I suggested perhaps v;e could ^ive some .fuller clarification of tnis in an interview which I would be glad to give her, she went to a good deal of questioning as to the type of ser/ices which I tried to clear up for her to some extent. V/hen it came to the questior^pf giving an appt., there was not one available before the 3oth and Mrs. expressed/ approval of this, felt that she would ncea to be seen sooner because she was a busy woman, worked and it was difficult for her to k-^ep getting timo iff. However, accepted rather reluctantly my explanation as to how inte.-views are based on appts. and unfortunately we do have a bit of a waiting list in relation to this, v.'ondered what to do immediately about Lee's not going to school, wondered if she should discuss this with the principal and I said that she certainly might do this if she wished and that i would like to be able to clear with 20 the school as to understanding L's problem there a little more clearly, -his was So §cr. • 01 CSS FAMILY SERVICE FACE SHGCTi FORM 7 Bbown (Pe^-eb) Exhibit No. 1 —Continued 188 a 9.-U 1-16-53 contd. per;aissible with Mrs. who finally accepted an appt. for Friday, Jan. 30th at 2 PH with IWR.

At any rate, what Mrs. N gave me was subs tan i^i ally along the lines of v.hat >Irs. had discussed in her phone covnersation eaa-lier.with me.

And explained that she was not able to give much in the way of impressions about the boy because she has only seen him once or twice and actually he only cair.e.to school while he was in 117 a total of 15 days, being absent ^7£r, during the period 9-30 thru 12-31-52. J-ee arrived in N.Y. in Sept. and initially attended the Trinity Lutheran School in the Bronx from 9-S-to-9-2o-52, where the record indicates he was present 9 days, -absent 6 days. I-liss Kahn felt «- that the boy seemed rather withdrawn, was rather difficult to reach him on the one cIm.-;^ instance she spoke with him. i'liss Kahn thought that PS /J^ was the new school, but t. suggest I call the attendance office for this information. Spoke with Mr, Keating of the Attendance Bureau, LU 3-2470. 'Ar. Keating 'ei-'-plained - that he is not currently assigned to case, rather Mr. Brennan is working witn the boy. Hovevei', in Mr. lirennan's absence, Mr. t- was able to give me some bacriground on the contact of Attendance Bureau with the family. Mr. Keating advised that he ;:as actually, before case was transferred to i-Ir. Brennan, spoken .once with the mother. Mrs. complained at the time she simply couldn't handle Lee, that he. was stubborn s^ and refused to go to school and kept expressing vdsh to return to Texas where he said he felt more at home. On the other hand, mother later admitted that she does nag the boy quite a bit and that she would try easing up on him to see whetner he would go to school. L is now attending JHS 44, but apparently has only been in school there for about 2 days, since the first of Jan. School dispatched a visiting teacher to the home who spoke with the boy, trying to persuade him to come to school. Lee is alleged' to have replied that he would think about it and hadn't made up his mind, etc. To the hearing, this was held on 1-I3r53 and the District Superintendent's recommendation was that the boy be placed on probation ,to J-ir. ^ Brennan until June. Mr. Keating said that it seemed there was a question of pos- sible suspension here and agreed at my suggestion that this might be something that ^ // -JSGT'shouli be involved in rather than CSS at this point. He, however, pi-omised to have rlr. Brennan phone me for further discussion on this. Denhamimb 1-30-53 Appt. failed.

Telephone inquiry frca Mr. Carro, Children's Court, LU8-500O ext. 30. Lee, 13, a serious trurjicy problen, came vith mother from Texas in 8-52. Problem seems to have evolved around difficulty of adjustment to new environment, relationship with mother. Faxher died when Lee was in infancy. Coir.plete study made by Youth House indicated "Personality pattern disturbance with schizoid features, passive aggressive tendencies, •io-V~efi^-s;i»^Tje--f^M:'^*feTT7st.'2h-tr, rejection by a self- involved, conflicted mother." While Mrs. denies any problem, there was consensus in the study that both Lee end Mrs. needed help. It was felt that a child guidance clinic or family service agency would be preferable, with a male therapist for Lee, as he "can be reached by a male, shown at Youth House." Mother works; Lee has isolated himself, preferring to stay home and watch TV. He in intelligent, has an I.Q. of IIS. Family is Lutheran and therefore a non-sectarian agency was con- sidered first. It is known at this time that Catholic Charities has closed their intake for a month; Salvation Army intake situation is similar to^.ours. Mr. Carro has spoken with supervisor. Miss Coming, and they were in agreement that/^had been paroled until September, it was inadvisable to consider letting the boy wait so long for any kind of individual attention. The alternative if therapy cannot be found, is a place- ment away from the mother. Mr. Carro said that he would be' glad to talk with Salvation Array and at the same time pleaded for further consideration. I indicated that I felt in view of the difficulties presented, the skill required in treating such a disturbed boy, that there was little iilcelihood of our being able to take on the case. Nevertheless I would take it up with the intake supervisor while Mr. Carro in the meantime talked with Salvation Arcy. It was agreed therefore that I would get in touch with him either the following day or early the next week to advise v^ether there was any greater likelihood of our taking responsibility for such a case at this time. Applies o^on pending. Benjamin:bb ,5-13-53Following discussion with Intake Supervisor on 5-13, telephoned Mr. Carro and indicated that due to our intake situation and waiting list we could not give this situation the proper attention it appeared to require. Mr. Carro was appreciative of this, said that he was planning to call Salvation Army, was anxious to get the matter attended to, as he is going on vacation at the end of this week. • -.

' FD.302 (R.».s.3-5») FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION Date DaCu 12, 1963 ^ Mayor EARLE CA5ELL was interviewed at his office ,^ j J in the Municipal Building, Dallas, at which time the >^" . identities of the interviewing agents we« made known to --w* Mayor CABELL. Mayor CABELL was advised th^t he no doubt ^ was aware of the investigation being conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation In connection with the .? ^ ^^ ^ shooting of LEE HARVEY OSWALD„ Mayor CABELL advised that ^'^x he was aware of this investigation. He was aware that \^ he did not have to make any statement and volunteered that ^ v he was most anxious to furnish any information in his > i ^ , possession that Would be of assistance in this investigation."^ . He understood that any information he furnished could '^ ^ possibly be used against him in court and was aware of his ^ !^ rights to an attorney. He then furnished the following j» ' information in response to inquiry: o ^ Mayor CABELL advised that from the time of the ^^ - assassination to the time of this interview there was only ^^ one occasion when he took any form of administrative \s action that might in any way be conceivably related to either the OSWALD or the RUBY case„ He explained that this occurred either on Saturday or Sunday morning, November 23 or 24, 1963, after the assassination, at which " time he received an inquiry from a Mro LANCASTER SMITH, g- a local attorney representing a Catholic men's group in h Dallas, relative to the advisability of proceeding with a torchlight procession which that group planned for Sunday, g^ November 24, 1963. According tr- Mayor CABELL, this g procession was to go by the site of the assassination and also was to pass in front of the County Jail. a; (0 Mayor CABELL very definitely recalls on this w occasion that he called Chief JESSE E, CURRY concerning ;i this inquiry from Mr, SMITH , and he also was concerned ^ about this procession but, in effects ^ad no valid reason ^ to refuse the permit, Sfeyor CABELL explained that since g. the procession was to be in the area where OSWALD was ^ incarcerated, that a condition conducive to rowdyism might ^ develop, and he felt that it would be inadvisable to approve of this planned procession. Be stated for this reason he ^ on 12/12/63 at Dallas, Texas p., j. DL 44-1639 WARREN C. de BRUEYS & by Special Afl.nt 8 GEORGE W. E. CARLSON/csh 12/12/63 ^^^^ j.^^^^^^ Cabeh^l Exhibit No. 1 243 DL 44-1639 told Chief CURRY that it should not be approved, and that he would take the full responsibility as the party who was responsible for the cancellation of the permit for the aforementioned procession., Mayor CABELL, of course, also categorically stated he at no time had given any orders to Chief CURRY to remove OSWALD from the City Jail and transport him to the County Jail. At this point, he emphasized that his office is a policy office and not an administrative office, that the City Manager appoints the Chief of Police and that he, CABELL, has no direct contact with department heads. He pointed out that the only reason he contacted Chief CURRY directly in connection with the above parade permit was because City Manager ELGIN CRULL was out of town or not available. According to Mayor CABELL, he was not in the City Hall from the time of President KENNEDY'S assassination until the council- meeting, which took place on the morning of Tuesday, November 26, 1963. He related that he was working^ during that period of time from his home. As concerns any possible information that he may have given the press, he categorically stated he does not recall that he had at any time given any information to newsmen or persons representing a news media relative to OSWALD'S removal from the City Jail to the County Jail. In fact, he believes the only infom^tion he gave to the press was that which he gave on Sunday morning, November 24, 1963, relative to his planned travel to Washington, D. C. On the subject matter of the press. Mayor CABELL volxinteered that he had learned from the City Manager that the press had put a great deal of pressure on Chief CURRY relatie to the removal of OSWALD from the City Jail to the County Jail. Some of this pressure concerned statements from the press to Chief CURRY that the press would have to stay up all night in order to be assured that they would not miss the removal of OSWALD as stated. Mayor CABELL states that according to infom^tion he received from the City Manager, Cabell Exhibit No. 1 —Continued 244 DL 44-1639 Chief CURRY was alleged to have retorted that if they (the press) were back by 10 (am) that "they would be safe." Mayor CABELL stated specifically he received this information from City Manager CRULL after the shooting of OSWALD. Mayor CABELL also volunteered that he had heard through the City Manager that Chief CURRY wanted to do everything possible to avoid even the impression as well as possible allegations that OSWALD'S civil rights were being violated by denial of such things as the freedom of the press and the like. He mentioned in this regard that even the president of the Dallas County Bar was allowed to visit OSWALD in the jail. As concerns any other conversation that may have transpired between Mayor CABELL ard Chief CURRY, it was elicited from Mayor CABELL that Mayor CABELL spoke to Chief CURRY Sunday morning, November 24, 1963, by telephone in connection with the Mayor's planned flfeht to Washington, D. C. Mayor CABELL remarked that Chief CURRY had called him at his home by telephone and had advised him that a call had been received by direct dialing from a person who said there was going to be an attempt made against CABELL's life. During that telephonic con- versation. Chief CURRY told Mayor CABELL he had given the aforementioned information to ROBERT Co LISH of the local Federal Bureau of Investigation Office, and LISH called the Mayor at home, at which time the Mayor said that he had received the information from Chief CURRY. Chief CURRY recommended that the Mayor take a later flight. Subsequent to this call, he received a telephone call from a friend of his , whom he did not name , that OSWALD had been shot and to turn his television set on, which he did. He then received a call from Chief CURRY advising that OSWALD had been shot. Mayor CABELL relates that he then told Chief CURRY that he was watching television regarding that incident at that moment. Mayor CABELL also advised that he had heard no Information at any time prior to the shooting of OSWALD that there was any threat made against OSWALD'S life or Cabell Exhibit No. 1 —Continued 245 » DL 44-1639 OSWALD'S safety from any sources Mayor CABELL stated that, » of course, he had read such statement in the papers to <<% the effect that Chief CURRY had received word regarding a threat to OSWALD "a safety prior to OSWALD'S shooting At the conclusion of this interview with Mayor CABELL, he voluntarily stated he had always had a high regard for the Directcr and for Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and has ftlr^n^y^ enjoyed a good- working relationship with them and desired that the facts in this case be established^ Mayor CABELL concluded by stating that there are people who are crying for "blood" in this matter; however, he is not taking any unwarranted action against Chief CURKX to satisfy the "wolves."

The boy had admitted the allegations of the petition . According to the boy, he is not attending school as he feels that he has many more important things to do. Aside from this, he has indicated that he does not like his teachers, his classmates nor the school. The boy has expressed a desire to be left alone. The boy, the P.O.'s observed, is a friendly, likeable boy, who protrays very little emotions. Reaction to the present situation was/one of indifference. The mother, while she seems a well meaning intelligent woman is unable to give Lee adequate supervision, due to her long working hours. Much of Lee's difficulty seems to stem from his inability to adapt himself to the change of environment and the change of the economical status of the family. The record reveals the family was of means, having had their own home in Corning Texas, seemingly a full family life thus Lee had had has two brothers living with them Coming to N.Y.C., and moving into a crowded area, without his brothers, amongst varied groups who dressed and spoke , different from the boy Lee has been unable to find acceptance and has retreated into a shell wherein he prefers to confines of his apartment to that of dealing with other children. The P.O. feels that this is a dangerous situation for the boy to isolate himself from other social contacts with children his age. The matter has been discussed with his mother. The possibility of returning to Texas or Louisiana was discussed with the mother, but she is unable to do so do to her present financial condition. While Mrs. Oswald is opposed to placement, she feels that she would go along with it, absolutely if it seems/necessary. The P.O. feels that we are dealing with a boy who feels a great deal of insecurity and the need for acceptance. As it does not seem that this can be done with the boy remaining at home but it was felt that perhaps placement in an institution where these needs can be met would be beneficial at this time. However, recommendation is being held in abeyance pending the receipt of the psychiatric examination. ALL OF WHICH IS RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED JOHN CARRO PROBATION OFFICER JC cms : 5/1/53-5/1/53 SUMMARY FOR P.O.'S REPORT PSYCHIATRIC DONE ON 5/1/53. "This 13 year old well built boy has superior mental resources and functions only slightly below his capacity level in spite of chronic truancy from school which brought him into Youth House. No finding of neurological impairment or psychotic mental changes could be made. Lee had to be diagnosed as " personality pattern disturbance with schizoid features and passive aggressive tendencies." Lee has to be seen as an emotionally quite disturbed youngster who suffers the impact of really exist- , ing emotional isolation and deprivation, lack of affection absence of family life and rejection by a self involved and conflicted mother. Although Lee denies that he is in need of any other form of help other " remedial" one, we gained the definite impression that Lee can be reached through contact with an under- standing and very patient psychotherapist and if he could be dra^Ti at the same time into group psychotherapy. We arrive therefore at the recommendation that he should be placed on probation under the condition that he seek help and guidance through contact with a child guidance clinic, where he should be treated preferably by a male psychiatrist who could substitute, to a certain degree at least, for the lack of a father figure. At the same time, his mother should be urged to seek psychotherapeutic guidance through contact with a family agency.

The Big Brother Movement could be undoubtedly of tremendous value in this case and Lee should be urged to join the organized group activities of his community, such as provided by the PAL or YMCA of his neighborhood." s/s Renatus Hartogs, M.D. Ph. d. Denior Psychiatrist. 5/7/53.COURT ACTION: Justice Mc Clancy presiding. Boy and his mother before the courtPO reported on the case. Justice Mc Clancy reviewing the record at some length and reading the Psychiatric report. Justice Mc Clancy continued the boy on parole to 9/24/53. His Honor advised the boy that he vras to return to school as soon as possible to attend school regularly. Mr. Brennan the A.O. is to return the case to court should the boy failed to do so. Justice McClancy requested that a referral be made Community Service Society for possible work at their therapeutic treatment for this boy. Lee was paroled to 9/24/53. Later the PO phoned the C.S.S. and spoke to Mrs. Olga Benjamin regarding the ix)ssibility of referring the boy to that agency. Mrs. Benjamin indicated that the CSS has a long waiting list. She felt the situation is one which is acute and requires a great deal of attention and skill. Mrs. Benjamin indicated she would discuss this matter with Mrs. Carver Hall, who will contact the P.O. In the meantime she suggested that we contact the Salvation Army to see whether they could possibly provide the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. facilities in the treatment that this boy needs. PO later interviewed the mother and boy and advised Mrs. Oswald that a referral would be made to a Family Agency and that she is to keep these appointments when she is notified. Both mother and boy promised to cooperate. J.Carro, PO(cms) 5/7/53: P.O. contacted Mrs. Olga Benjamin, Social Worker of C.S.S., regarding possible referral of Lee to their agency. Mrs. Benjamin indicated that they have a long waiting list and that the situation requires a great deal of attention and skill. She indicated that Mrs. Oswald had been seen by them on 1/53 when the case was explored as it was referred to them by the Federation of Protestant Welfare agencies. An appointment was made for Mrs. Oswald for 1/30/53, which she did not keep. No further contacts have been had with this family. Mrs. Benjamin recommended that we contact the Salvation Army which she felt might be in a better position to meet this boy's needs at this time. J. Carro, P. O. (es) 6/4/53 : P.O. contacted Mr. Wilcox, Social Worker, Salvation Army, regarding pos- sible acceptance of the case. Mr. Wilcox promised to call back. J.Carro, P.O. (es) 9/3/53 : Material referred to Salvation Army. J. Carro, P.O. (es) 9/8/53 Material returned from Salvation Army rejecting the boy as the Salvation : Army feels that they cannot offer any useful service to the boy. Salva- tion Army indicates that the boy, feas pointed out in the psychiatric report, is severely disturbed and would need direct psychiatric treatment in a Child Guidance Institu- tion. This is a service they cannot offer. J. Carro, P.O. (es) 9/24/53 Mrs. Oswald telephoned on this date, to state that she would be unable : to appear in court. She pointed out thatshe felt that there is no necessity for her to return to court as the boy has made a marvelous adjustment. Lee re- turned to school on May 7th and had a very good attendance record thereafter. At the present time he is in the 9th grade at P.S. 44 and recently had the honor of being elected class president.

Mrs. Oswald appeared very resistant to this plan and her attitude was such that reflected another unwillingness to enter x into any sort of arrangement at this time.

The mother was opposed to referral of the boy to any other agency. His Honor eounocllcd talked to the mother at some length and advised her that it would be for the best interest of Lee to have her cooperate with any plans that the court might have to offer at this time.

Mrs. CHEEK outlined the following basis for her having been in contact with JACK RUBY: Mrs. CHEEK stated that she has been in the real estate business in Dallas, Texas, for a number of years; that she frequently has bought and sold interests in night clubs; that during the past several months she has been attempting to locate a good night cltib investment; and that in this connection she had visited practically every night club in Dallas which she considered might be purchased outright or in which an interest might be obtained. Clubs which she had visited, she said, included among others the Pago, the Star lighter, the Stork Club, and the University Club. At the Stork Club, she had talked with BILL MARTIN, owner, who she found wanted $25,000 Just for an interest. She said she could establish her own club i^r that amount and had not dealt further. MAKTIN, however, who she said was acquainted with RUBY, mentioned the Vegas Club and the Carousel as possibilities. Several days later, RUBY called her and invited her to the Carousel to discuss her investment in a club. Mrs. CHEEK said that she did not know that MARTIN had suggested this to RUBY. The information concerning her interest in such investment could have reached RUBY through any number of sources, she said. At ruby's invitation, Mrs. CHEEK said she did discuss such investment with RUBY at the Caroiisel.

This concluded the discussion of such investment by 1-lrs. CHEEK with JACK RUBY. Throughout these discussions at the Carousel, Mrs. CHEEK stated that RUBY was assisted by one FRANK, v7hose last name Mrs. CHEEK did not recall. She described FRANK as a man of Jewish extraction about 60 years of age with- gray hair. FRANK was present,, she said, apparently to provide RUBY with a good recommendation as a night club operator as this was the extent^ of his participation in the discussion.

He furnished the following infomiatlon: Since being interviewed on November 25, 1963, by FBI Agents at Dallas, he recalled certain additional facts concerning the murder of LEE KARVEY OSV/ALD. On the r.ornins of November 24, 1963, he reported for his regular shift with the Auto Theft Detail at 7:00 a.n. After reporting £iT duty ho handled some routine matters at the Auto Theft Bureau and at about 10; 00 a.m.. Lieutenant SMART, who is his co.~mandlng officer, told him to stand by at the office with ! Detectives McMILLON, ARCilER, KAROLD DAV/SOU, J. C. V.'ATSON end ' GREESON. A short time later^ Lieutenant Si:\RT directed tl'iat he and the other officers t© report to the jail "office. They then took the elevator to the basement of the central police station and he recalled someone referring to him by his name as they left the elevator. Ke could not recall who this individual was but it was apparently part of the security force and ,they were allowed to enter the lobby in the basement apparently after being recc^gnlzed as police officers. Ke recalled- about that tine some newsmen entered the lobby from another elevator and they were required to show identification tejl^he men on duty there. Lieutenant StLART then directed them to take up positions on each side of the hallivay leading to the garage ramps.

As concerns the actual'-'shooting of OSV/ALD, he could think o;.- nothing additional to t'nat previously furnished the FBI and" in particular, he could recall hearing no comments or shouts of an unusual nature directly prior to the shooting. He heard OSV/ALD make no comments after the shooting. He personally did not see the actual '-shooting but observed RD3Y being taken into custody. R'>5 then assisted Detective McMILLON and assisted in taking RUBY to the fifth floor of police headquarters. After the handcuffs were taken off of RUBY and he was strip searched he asked him how he got into tl-^' building. RUBY replied that "RIO" PIERCE was driving out the driveway and stopped to talk to someone atwhich time he started down the ramp behind PIERCE' s ear. RUBY said that about half way down the ramp someone saidj, "Hey youo" and he "pulled my hat down a little lower and kept coming. He also reca3,led RUBY saying at the time he was subdued in the basement of the police department that "I'm JACK RUBY/' and he apparently did this so that the officers would know who he was. He also recalled RUBY saying at the time of his being searched on the fifth floor that, "If I had planned to kill OSV/ALD, my timing could not have been more perfect." He also heard RUBY mention at this same time that he had intended to get off three shots apparently in reference to the fact that he only shot OSWALD once. He personally did not require ar.yone he did not know to identify themselves during his assignment in the basement. He did not know of any unauthorized person who v;as permitted to enter the basement or anyone who may h&ve entered without having to show identification. He had not seen JACK RUBY for about 6 months previous to November 24, 1S)63. On Saturday, November 23 ^ 19^3 ^ he spent the entire day in the Auto Theft Detail office and had no occasion to see any of the activities In the police department. On iPriday, November 22, 1963, he was off duty. I'o his knowledge, he knows of no police officer who actually saw JACK RUBY during the weekend of November 24, I963* prior to the shooting of OSWALD, Clardy Exhibit No. 5063 —Continued 337 DL 44-1639 1 He personally has never worked In any capacity for RUBY and does not know of anyone presently connected with the Police Department or formerly employed b/ the police department who has worked for RUBY. He h:is known J^CK RUBY for the last 8-10 years, having become familiar with lira in the line of duty. Ills knowledge of him, however, was very slight and he was r^ot even aware that RUBY owned th^ Carousel Club. The occasions that he would talk to RUBY and probJ^bly the occasion of his first meeting with him was when he was looking for individuals during the course of his investigations over the years. Ife also recalled that when h3 has been working the night shifts he would drinl<: coffee or eat at the B & B Restaurant near the police statloiji ij.pA h3 recalled seeing RUBY there on a niaraber of occasiohs over the years. This vj^s ^ one of the only all night restaurants in downtown Dallas and it would be natural for a night club. operator to go there after closing his establishment. He also recalled on the last occasion he saw RUBY he approached him on che street and mentioned that one of tjie officer on the depart:tent h?d issued him a traffic ticket. He knows nothing concerning RUBY'S background, personal life, or political convictions.

He does know that RUBY was conscientious ii the operation of his busines3 and made it a point to make friends v/hereevcr he could. It was his understanding that RUBY was very careful not to bo caught in th violation of any lav; that would result in the closing of his c^lubs because it was obvious he was "always after the money," He never recalled seeing RUBY at the City Hall or Police Department at any time other than on November 24> 1963. He knows of no relationship between RUBY and LEE HARVEY OSWALD and never recalled seeing OS'JALD or hearig anything concerning him prior to the President's assassination. As concerns the identity of police officers that he observed in the basement area of the Central Police Headquarters on November 24, 1963, he could recall no one in addition to the list of officers that he furniaied to Chief of Police JESSE £.

It was his duty to t:;ke dcwn nzaues and addresses of people calling the club for RUBY, IcUBi r^in ailmost an ad every day in the local paper for waitresses and performers. He r^ also had *iii^ financial interest in a Twist Board Compsiny at ^^J^:- '-t- '• Fort V/orth, Texas. Telephone calls in a number of twenty to forty would be received daily and these calls were placed in a. t stenographers notebook, which he ke^t on RUBY's desk. The-jonly^Odd—incident concerniirtg teS,'ephoae calls was three or fo ur time s ^_day during the time he was at t,hat_j:b out the clubp a call would come in and~the~iaaLa~would~aisIc~if~MrT^UBY was there. If RUBY was not there, the man refused to leave his name end on every occasion during this period of time, it was the sane person who called. He brought this to RUBY's attention on numerous occasions and RUBY told him to forget about it; however, RUBY was not alarmed. CRAFARD would stay at the club and eat his meals at the Eat Well Cafe and the drugstore across the street from the IJoney for these meals was taken from the cash register. L/, club. RUBY also purchased his clothes from the Good Will Store and gave him some spending money. ' RUBY had att apartment with an S)ndlvidual named GEORGE (Last Nsme Uaknown) who sold Christmas cards and worked part time , on the door at the cl£'b. He did not know where RUBY's apartment was located, but had fhe teSiephone number, WH. 1-1050. He would see RUBY every d.y for about one to two hours and this usually occurred between 12:00 EM and 3:00 g'M, at the Carousel. Other than th^at, ^RUBY would telephonically contact him Ee hjts no knowledge where RUBY ' alrlio^t^eveify 'hour "f or '-&^y' call's. ' spent his time outside of the club. Usually, RUBY would then return to the club at about lO'jOO P;.. each evening and stay until closing time, which was 1:3P AM during week days and 2:00 AM on the weekends. He stated RUBY trusted him and he would handle TnJisnstpre ^ra:'$300.00 to $400.00 daily; however, ANDY ARMSTRONG or ALEXANDER, the Assistant Manager and bartender, would handle the money until Midnight and, thereafter, he would close up. Crafabd Exhibit No. 5226—Continued 354 DE ^4-563 3- Most of the time at about 5:00 PM, RUBY would call in from his home and, if needed, he told him he would be avail2.ble there until he cajne to the club later. Ee said most of the affairs of the club were handled by ARlISTRCNG, who performed paper work, etc., and this individual was with RUBY for approximately nine years. Continuing, he satid that on a fev? occasions during the d:.ytine, he would accompany RUBY around the Dallas area. He recalls one di^y, time unknown, that RUBY went to various companies in regards to the purchase of a s&fe for the club, as RUBY had the habit of carryijig all his money in his pocket. On another"" ,:;ccasion, approximately three weeks ago, he went with RUBY when RUBY checked about some sound equipment for the club. This was at an electronics conipaiay in about the 2200 or 2300 block of Elm Street. They were there lien or fifteen minutes and did not purchase anything. Oa. this occasicn he, CR-\FARD, was wearing a suit and hene leexs they were xnere feels xney there a.x it au -ut ijuu ab -at, PM or ^:uu SsOO t"A 4:00 P)M. i-na, He said th;it when they entered the pl.^-ce of business, the electronic 1 equipment, speakers, public address syster.s, etc., were on the i right and left-ha:id sides in between ^ counter and a stairway that went to a storeroom on the seocr-d cloor. He related that '^ ^^ most of ruby's time at the club w&s &i cnt talking business and G he had the habit of always telling the e.-nployees who they could talk to. RUBY was somewhat oiiispoken, had a qiiick—temper and ^ ^ (W- - I ' when mad would use l oud laflgu age in his relations witli the ^ employees. On Novenber 17, 1963, he recalls telling RUBY that he would desire to cease his employmerit there on the 18th. Ee said that RUBY then told him he would put him can a salary and persuaded him to stay indefinitely. CRAFARD said he was not ^too fond of the wsrk and was not busy ensjugh at the club. He also a said RUBY had a .38 caliber revolver which he kept in a money z' ) 1- ^ '\\ sack locked in the trunk of his car. He said thait when trans- (— porting money, RUBY kept his money in the truak with the revolver and always kept the revolver with bin when moving money, i'^ / c^^'^/c-^ , , ,. . ' .t / ;r '' "'"/'''/ tii'i-/.^x^ and at about 1:30 Pil, RUBY came i:ito the club ar^d said the club C^^^^^^ ->' would be closed that night and the entire weekend. He told AITDY to notify the personnel and, thereafter, called the paper and pjlaced an ad to that effect. CRAFARD said that he was much surprised by this action as the club could not financially stand to be closed and it was strictly his opinion that RUBY did this as a gesture to make good will on behalf of the ^blic. After Crafabd Exhibit Xo. 5226 — Continued 356 DE 44-563 5 thi;.t RUBY snid that he was going to his sister's home and asked CRAFARD if he desired to accompany him, which offer was refused, RUBY left the Carousel at about 3:30 PlI, being descr'ibed by CRAFARD as "pretty well shaken up." They knew at that time there was an arrest of a suspect, but he cannot recall the nane of any person being mentioned; however, the name of TIBBITS, tbe policei^an, was mentioned and RUBY said he was acquainted with him. Upon, leaving, RUBY was what CRAFARD termed .being emotionally disturbed. He told CRAFARD to call llrs. GRANT'S home before he want to dinner and upon his return. This was mot an ordinary request and CRAFARD had no knowledge of RUTiY's reason, RUBY then came back to the club or called CRAFARD ' about 7:30 PLI that evening. He did not discuss the assassination , he did not mention being at the police department or anything e-^se. He just wanted to check in regards to telephone calls. He did not' see RUBY again until the next day. On Saturday morning, November 23, 1963, at about 5:30 AM, RUBY called him and told him to meet him downstairs with the Polaroid camera and some film. RUBY was very excited and, in a matter of minutes, & telephone call was received from the fellow at the All Wright Parking Lot, telling him that JACK was there and to hurry up. VHien he got to the car, GEORGE, RUBY's roommate, was also there and they drove out on the Stemnions Freev/ay, where RUBY showed him a sign "Impeach EARL WARREN." On the end of this sign it said for further information write Post Office Box 1744 or a similar number. RUBY instructed him to ta.ke three pictures of the sicjn .. and they then drove to a waffle shop near the Carousel for coffee, RUBY and GEORGE were talking about the sign and the Post Office Box and they had ^very little conversation concerning the assassination. RUBY then dropped CRAFARD off at the club at 6:20 AM and said that he and GEORGE were going down to the Post Office to look at that Post Office Box. CRAFARD said that he v/us completely puzzled, as EARL WARREN wcs unknown to him. This was the last time he saw JACK RUBY. He also recalled that while being at the waffle shop on Commerce Street, RUBY vas reading about LEE HARVEY OSWALD in the newspaper. He, at this tine, did not express any previous knowledge or acquaintance with this individual and he (CRAFARD) had never, to the best of his knowledge, heard RUB7 or anyone else at the club previously Ckafard Exhibit No. 5226 —Continued 357 DE 44-563 6 nentio: .v;thls name. He said that It seemed odd to him that RUBY v/as more escited about the EARL WARREN sign than about the assassination. RUBY, at this time, made no threats or other coin.-nents concerning OSWALD. * After being dropped off at the club, CRAFARD called nUBY at approximately 8:00 AI.i, at RUBY's apartment and told RUBY that they needed food for the three dachSltJ^TinSTl that were kept at the club. CRAFARD said that RUBY berated him for waking him up and he then decided to pack up and leave the club as he did not v/ant to take any other verbal abuse. He did not say anything to anyone about leaving and Just packed his clothing, left the club, at:. about 12:00 Noon that date and started hitchhiking north. He proceeded north on 77 to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and on to Clare, liichigan, where he arrived on llonday, November 25, 1963» at about 9:30 PH, at the home of a cousin, CLIFFORD ROBERTS. Kis main reason for coming north was to recontact his sisterr. who had hot "written him for some time. He had no other explanation for his hasty departure, but said that it is Just the way he does things, > Returning to RUBY, he said that he can never recall this individual making any statements concerning revenge on OSV/ALD. He, CRAFARD, saw/RUBY'.^ picture in the newspaper the cay after his arrest and sa4^3^hat he never saw OSWALD in the Carousel or Vegas Clubs and he definitely knows that he never took this name down from a telephone call. He said that he ---^-^^ first found out that OSWALD had been killed on November 24, 1963,7 at about 8:00 PM, and did not know RUBY was responsible for it until Llonday, November 25, 1963. ^ In regardq to RUBY's contacts, CRAFARD said that most of then were recorded in the stenographer^ notebook on the desk ' and, that the only other^ones would befMICOY/RYAli], V7ho was a (bartender in_a gun club located in Daa.ln the Bellaire, Michigan, area until Friday, December 6, 1963, and his address will always be known to Miss GALE EATON of Harrison, liichigan, and he will advise the Traverse City Resident Agency of the Federal Bureau of Investigation iy card of any moves.

Croy and Son Real Estate, 1720 South Lamar, He was advised he need not make any statement, that any statement he did make could be used against him in a court of lav;. He was adviced of his right to an attorney. He furnished the following informationj He is a Sergeant in the Dallas, Texas Police Reserve and has been for a good nvimber of years. Or. November 23, 19^3, at approximately 11:00 P.M., Lieutenant BEN I-IcCOY, Dallas Police Department, telephonically advised he i:ould need six or seven reserve policemen to report to the third floor of the Police Depi'rtment at 9:00 A.M. on November 24, I963. He arrived at about 8530 A.M., November 24, I963, at the Police Department and went to the Assembly Room to make detail. Lieutenant BARNEY IffiRrJiLL gave him the duty of assigning men out of the Assembly Room as required by the other police officials. He thereafter sent groups of men Govrnstairs when called for by the police dispatcher. At one point, a Sergeant, name unknown, came In and secured five men to help search the building. At about 10:00 A.M., he v;ent to the basement parking area on his cm volition to aid in the basement security. He thereafter located men when more were called for by the various police officers present. Captain ARNETT, around 11:00 A.M., requested some pollcement to form on the Main Street side of the center ramp area to aid in keeping members of the press back from the area v;here LEE H'^R.VEY OSV/ALD was to be passed through. He recalls shortly before the shooting, a fev; minutes at most, a blue Dallas police car drove out of the basement up the r/Iain Street ramp past his location. He did not see any- one coming down the Main Street ramp. He recalls there was one regular police man, name unknown, stationed at the Main Street ramp entrance. ^ v . --Mnn-aii- ;;-> . . - -7-?^ ;..-; ;. • , ,, ;. „ ., - .. ;; , - ; ,,, j;;c.No.5051 CROY,K.H.

N ft H . — ; a Ceoy Exhibit No. 5051 387 2 DL 44-1639 Just prior to OSWALD'S appearance, an .unl<;nown officer in plain clothes came out of the jail office and told the press to move back. CROY then turned to his left and requested a man with a large movie camera, v;ho was on his immediate left and another man on his left rear, who v/as dressed in a dark hat and dark maroonish brown sport coat with black thread woven into it, to step back, CROY then looked back tov/ard the jail i office at the crov/d and then glanced back tD see if the two i men on his left had complied with his order. He saw the man with the movie camera had stepped back to the ramp railing and was standing upon the railing; the other man he did not see. He then looked back at the crov:d by the jail office for OSWALD v;as being brought down. At approximately 15 or 20 seconds later, OSWALD was brought out, the members of the press surged forward and one placed a microphone in front of OSWALD'S fact and asked him to make a statement. At this instant, CROY got a blurred movement to his left and turned and made an off balance grab at a man who was moving in a low crouch with his hands ^ tucked into his stomach much like a football fullback, GROY's hand brushed the tail coat of the man and at this time had the impression the man was the same one who moments before, had been standing to his left and rear. He then heard a shot and started forward to assist in bringing the man under control but saw he was already being wrestled to the floor by a number of officers. He did not hear any statements made by anyone while ,^ i the man was moving forward and the shooting taking place. He did not know the man was. JACK RUBY until after RUBY was removed upstairs to the Jail, He met JACK RUBY about three years ago when riding with a patrolman, name unrecalled, which is required at least once .a. -month to retain membership in the police reserve. On that occasion, they drove by the club Vegas at approximately 2:45 A,M, and drove into the Lucas B & B just up the street from the Vegas, A man later identified to him as JACK RUBY, came hurrying and told CROY and the patrolman to put down the menu as he, RUBY, would order for them, RUBY ordered steaks and paid for them, CROY recalls the Incident since it was rather humorous in that RUBY was attempting to keep them away from the front of his Vegas Club while it closed at 3:00 A,M, and the patrons left, Wher) in reality, he heard two other patrol cars were sitting in front of the Vegas Club "loading up", Croy Exhibit No. 5051 —Oontinued 388 3 UL 44-1639 He estimates total number of people present In the basement at around 100 and could not state the number of press people in the group. He did not see anyone- he believes was, other than polioe officers or members of the press. He has no irtformation or knowledge of OSWALD or RUHT whatsoever other thaji furnished above. He recalls the following reserve police officers as being in the basement at the time of the shooting: Captain C, 0. ARNETT; Lieutenant HARRY KRI SS; Lieutenant BEN McCOY; Lieutenant DON SUITS, Ceoy Exhibit No. 5051 —Continued) 389 ' DL 4A-1639/eah / "Hovember 2^, 1963 "Hk^ J . B .

Jack Ruby bought myself 'i-^: V and two other officers breakfast at I.ucas IV&B Cafe on C;' ^V Oak Lawn at 3:00 A.N. I have not seem thl:i man since, t r however I have been in his club on several occasions '^' ^^^ riding observation. "Signed Kenneth Hudson Crov Kenneth Hu at approximately 8:33 a.m. to Lieutenant Merrell who was ->,' making assignments. I then took over making assignments from 7 him. I wrote the men up on the roster at the time they ; . arrived and made assignments to them until approximately 10:00 a.m. At that time I went to the basement and worked from the basement of the City Hall, assigning reserve officers V: who were late arriving, and also checking on where my men had -. O' been assigned. Prior to Oswald's appearance into the base- :., V ^ ment of the City Hall I st<-itioned myself at the foot of the north end of the ramp in the basement. I was^ there for quite some time watching the reporters . Someone had made the -'.; remark to vatch the reporters, and to move them back against .*j.' the rail. There were several reporters in front of roe. Captain Amett was standing to the right of me. I was ap- proximately in the middle of the ramp between the wall and ;t the rail. Someone in authority gave instructions to move . ':^ the press back against the rail. At that time I turned and ' V. told two men standing to my left to move back against the ; / rail. One of these men had a motion picture camera, the :'I other was wearing a dark maroon coat with black thread woven >V- into it. He v/as wearing a brown hat. (Hy father has a coat i.^-. something similar to the one the man was wearing that I : >: spoke to) I then turned my attention back to the reporters :v which were standing in front of me. I believe this man that I' ,^ ^° ^ have been Jack Ruby. The man with the motion picture camera got up on the rail. The man with the dark maroon V coat stepped back a little. I turned back around and one or ' -, two officers came out of the Jail office and then Captain Frits, end then they brought Oswald out* He was handcuffed Oroy Exhibit No. 5053 391 DL 44-1639 "PAGE 2 OF TWO PAGES "to one of the officers and there was a roan on each side of him holding his arm. There was a reporter standing there with a microphone In his hand. The reporters then converged on Oswald. The reporter with the microphone stuck It up In Oswald's face and asked him, *Do you have any comment?* At this time I observed a blur come from my left side. I was off balance. I saw a man running Into the crowd In a crouch. At that moment I reached for this Individual and touched his coat tall attempting to stop him. I saw him run right up to Oswald and I heard a shot. At the time I heard the shot, there were several, officers who swarmed him and wrestled him to the pavement. I also tried to grab hold of his gun, but there were too many men there for me to be effective. At that nolnt an officer did disarm him and took him out. I dldn t get to see the man they were wrestling to the floor because too many oiEf leers swarmed him. At this point orders were given . to seal the basement. I ran approximately half way up the north ramp and stopped reporters trying to leave the basement. During the Interview with Lieutenant Jack Revlll and Lieutenant F. X. Corm^all something was mentioned about an automobile leaving the basement via the north ramp to the Main Street. I recall an automobile driving out, but I can't recall the time nor can I recall how many men were in this automobile. I seem to recall this automobile as being a light blue squad car.

Ee said LAVELL was uallcivig on the right side of OSUz^jD and GRAVES on the left and as they approached the jail office door they stooped for a feu seconds and LAVSLL asked, "Is it O.K.?"*, to xjhich CUTGHSIIAU replied, "O.K., Come on out, JIM."

CUTCESEAW stated that OSUALD and the t\\ro accczipanying detectives had just reached the bottom of a small incline extending from the parldng area when he noticed a general movement of individuals in the vicinity of OSWALD s location, followed by a loud report, which sounded like a gunshot. CUTCESEAW stated he immediately rushed to this location and grabbed the left hand of JACK RUBY, v?hile W.

"Who, after being by me dulv sworn, on oath deposes and says: On Sunday, November 24 at approximately IIJOO A,M„, I came up to the Main Street ramp to the basement of the city hall. I was standing on the Western Union side of the ramp and I spoke to Officer Vaughn, he was on duty at that location. Officer Vaughn was standing in the center of the ramp keeping people from entering the basement of the city hall. I had been standing there several minutes when a squad car drove up the ramp with three officers Inside, they drove on to Main Street and turned west on Main. At this time Officer Vaughn stepped out into the middle of Main Street and stopped the west bound traffic on Main sp this squad car could make its turn on Main Street. For a brief moment while Officer Vaughn was blocking traffic, the ramp entrance at this location was left unguarded. I was standing at the east 5/ -^f^l'oV532^^DffiES^!rJ^^Deposmoi^ Dallas /i-16-6A Daniels Exhibit No. 5325 419 DL 44-1639 6 corner of the ramp and turned to watch Officer Vaughn stop the traffic. From the position where I was standing it was impossible for anyone to walk behind me and gain entrance into the basement. I did not notice anyone walk in front of me and go into the basement. At this time I was thinking to myself that if I saw anyone go in I would so advise Officer Vaughn. After stopping traffic for this squad car Officer Vaughn took up his duties in the middle of the ramp. Several minutes later I stepped out towards the street so that I could have a better view down the ramp. As I did so I noticed a white male, approximately 50 years of age, 5 '10", weighing about 155-l60#, wearing a dark (blue or brown) single breasted suit, white shirt, and dark colored tie, this man was not wearing a hat, he had light colored hair thinning on top, round face, kind of small head, fair complexion, he was not wearing an overcoat nor was he carrying one but he did have his right hand inside of his right suit coat pocket, approaching the ramp from the direction of the Western Union. This person walked in the ramp and into the basement going between Officer Vaughn and the east side of the building. Officer Vaughn at this time was standing at the top of the ramp in the middle of it facing towards Main. I did not see Officer Vaughn challenge this person nor did he show any signs of recognizing him, nor even being aware that he was passing, but I know that he saw him. It struck me odd at the time that Officer Vaughn did not say something to this man. Approximately two minutes after this man had walked down the ramp I saw quite a bit of movement in the basement outside the Jail office and then I heard a shot. From the time that I first spoke to Officer Vaughn until I heard the shot, which was approxi- mately a period of twenty-five minutes, at no time did I see anyone leave or enter the basement of the city hall from the ramp entrance on Main Street except one squad car which contained three officers and this one unknown white man who entered. On Monday, November 25, 1963, at approximately 9:00 A.M., Officer Vaughn called me on the telephone at home and asked me if I had noticed anyone going into the basement while Lieutenant Pierce was coming out, I told him 'no; I did not. He told me he was bothered about the possibility that someone could have gone In there while Lieutenant Pierce and the other two officers were coming out in the squad car. I told him •no, I did not.' But I did not mention the other fellow I saw go in because I was sure he had seen him. /s/"N. J.

He furnished the following information: N>\ H Prior to November, 1962, he was a Patrolman vJith the V --' f Police Department at Dallas, Texas, Since that time he has ) J" been engaged in the real estate business. ,/ On Sunday, November 24, 1963j he left his home and .. . H drove by himself with the intention of seeing the sight of the ^C t President's assassination at I-Iouston anr El~j Streets, When he left the vicinity of dowr.town Dallas he drove v;est or^ Main j- ^ Q_ '^ ^ Street. As he was passing the City lia.li , 'he saw a number of p J"5 people standing in the vicinity r.nd since he had heard that the J" "0 prisoner, LEE HARVEY OSWALD, was to be moved that day, he decided to get out of the car and watch. He doubled back off of Main i ^ ,; 1 i^ Street and eventually parked his car on the south side of Main be-j "^ 'i^ tween the V/estern Union Office and the City Hall. ?rom there he \^\^-_ walked to the Main Street entrance to the police garage. ' '.' When he arrived in Ithe I'^ain entrance, or ramp, to the police garage, he noted that an officer (FNU) VAUGHN, was on duty there. He sav; no other ur.iformed officers in the vicinity nor anyone else that he recognized as a police officer. He stood on the east side of the ramp directly adjacent to the iron railings there and from that position could see down into the basement. ^lOaen he first arrived there, there were no other spectators in that immediate location, but shortly before the shooting of prisoner OSWALD, no longer tha.n 10 minutes, an individual he recognized as being the former shoe shine boy at the police department locker room appeared on the west side of Main Street ramp which was directly across from him. He does not Vcnow this individual's name, but he thinks it may have been ALONZO (LI-TJ) or ALPKONSE (LW) This . individual is in his late 20 's and has a light brown complexion. Hanging from his neck was a small camera appi'oxlrriately 4 inches by 4 inches. H.j believes that the "shine boy" terminated his employment at the police department locker room prior to the time DANIELS left the police department. He was wearing a gray suit which he thought was double breasted and at one time made an attempt to take a photograph of the basement from the center of the ramp; however, was told to step back by off icerVAUOHN^ _Ex.No.5326 DANIELS, N.J.

Daniels Exhibit No. 5326 421 DL 44-1639 2 As best he could recall, the "shine boy" remained at that location up until the shooting of OSWALD. He does not know the identity of the present "shine boy" at the police department but believed the "shine boy" that he saw would be remembered by the police officers in the Services Division as he was somewhat of a magician. A number of people came and went during the time he was standing there prior to the shooting of OSWALD, but there was only one other person on his side in addition to Officer VAUGHN and he did not know this individual's identity. He recognized no one else in the vicinity other than officer VAUGHN and the "shine boy." While he was standing there, a black linmarked squad car carrying three officers drove up .the Main Street ramp. He does not recall this car stopping or anyone in it talking to VAUGHN but as the car came up the ramp, VAUGHN walked almost to the center of the street and stopped vehicles which were travelling west on Main Street. He noticed no vehicles travelling east on Main Street at that time. When he realized that VAUGHN was occupied with stopping the traffic, he made it a point to act as lookout and insure that no one entered the ramp. He saw no one enter the ramp during the time VAUGHN was stopping traffic. He does not recall that VAUGHN at any time asked him to assist him in guarding the entrance. About two minutes or less before he heard a shot in the basement he observed a man walking west on the south side of Main Street. He did not recall exactly when this man came into his vision, but it was for a very brief period of time. The man was observed to walk up to the ramp entrance and turn left and then proceed on down the ramp directly past and " - to the right of officer VAUGHN who was facing tovjard Main Street. At that time VAUGHN was standing directly in the center at the end of the ramp. He could neither recall the man nor officer VAUGHN making any comment at this time. The man never broke his stride and Just walked on into the basement. He recalled that this individual was a white male, about 50 years of age, 5 '8-9" tall, 15O-I6O pounds, and was of light complexion. He distinctly recalled that this individual's right hand was in his right hand suit coat pocket and his first impulse was- that the man apparently had something in his hand which caused the pocket to bulge, more than it normally would. ^ —Continued Daniexs Exhibit No. 5326 422 . DL 44-1639 3 His instinct told him at that time that the man was probably carrying a gun but in view of the fact that officer VAUGHN allowed him to enter he did not give it serious thought. This individual had an intent look: on his face and was walking fairly fast. He also seemed to recall that he had seen this man at the police department during the time he was a police officer as his face was vaguely familiar and he also seemed to recall that he was partly bald. He was wearing what he thought was a dark brown or dark blue suit but in any event he was sure it was dark in color. He was also wearing a tie and dress shirt but he could not describe the nature of these articles of clothing. He could not recall whether or not this individual was wearing a hat and the idea that the man was bald may have come from . the mental picture he had of the unknown individual he had previously seen in the police department. The time that elapsed from when the man walked down the ramp until the time he heard the shot would have, in his mind, been Just enough time for that individual to enter the basement and get in position to shoot OSWALD. He therefore, felt sure vjhen he heard the shot that the man he saw walk down the ramp v/as theman who did the shooting. He immediately looked down the ramp and saw police officers struggling with someone but all he was able to observe of the individual was his right arm which vjas extended and he felt certain that the color of the suit on the arm was the same as that worn by the man who walked down the ramp. Immediately after the shooting the only comments made by Officer VAUGHN were to the people in the vicinity when he told them to get back. DANIELS was exhibited photographs of JACK RUBY, Dallas Police Department #36398, taken November 24, 1963. He advised that the facial features of the individual in the photograph were similar to the man who walked by him and officer VAUGHN as described above. He volunteered the statement that the individual he saw had a light complexion and he was of the opinion that most people of Jewish extraction had dark complexion. He could not point out any specific facial characteristic that would link the photograph with the individual he observed. He advised that he did not see how Officer VAUGHN could have missed seeing the individual who walked by him down the ramp Daniels Exhibit No. 5326—Continued 423 DL 44-1639 (4) He also folt that if he sav; the person who v;alkcd by him at the ramp dressed in sim;ilar clothing to the individual' he observed that he could make an identification of him. He did not recall seeing any other vehicles than the one police car vjith the three officers that he observed or any other individuals in addition to the men described above enter or leave the basement during the time he was standing there. The only person he could identify as the city doctor is an older man who was quite tall and worked in the City Hall v;hile he was employed by the police department in 1962. He did not see this individual. He does not toow THOMAS CORBET and therefore would not recognize him. He felt certain that the man who entered the basement was not carrying any typo of press card or badge of any typo. He did not recognize anybody in the vicinity that ha associated in his mind with TV or camera crev;s. He stated he vjas not at the Dallas Police Department at any time during the vjeekond of November 24^, 1963. With reference to the individual he had seen at the police department during the time he was a police officer ho vaguely recalled that his first thought when the man walked by him at the Main Street Ramp was that ho was possibly a local nex-jsman He . therefore seemed to recall that he must have been under the impression on the occasions he saw this man at the police department that he was a nevjsman, although he had no facts to substantiate this at the time. He could not elaborate on this impression other than that it is common for newsmen to be around the police station, and he often assumed that people who are frequently seen at the police department are newsmen. He also stated that the photo that was exhibited to him bore a likeness in his mind to the individual he had previously seen at the police department, as well as the individual who walked by him at the Main Street Ramp. He does not know JACK RUBY and therefore does not know if the man he saw walk down the ramp was JACK RUBY or if the nan he had seen at the police department during the time he was a police officer was JACK RUBY. He knovjs nothing concerning RUBY'S background, personal life or political convictions. He never heard or or saw LEE HARVEY 0S17ALD and knows nothing concerning him other than what he has read in the papers since the President's assassination.

He stated the police officers who questioned him there attempted to clarify whether or not Officer ROY VAUGHJJ was out of place while standing guard at the Main . Street ramp on November ^,, 1963. They also advised him that the police car that left the Main Street ramp Just prior to the shooting of OSWALD, left 57 seconds before the ^ ^ --^^ shooting. He stated that apparently they did not feel his estimate of approximately, two minutes from the time the car left the ramp to the time of the shooting was correct. This point was emphasized in the interview by the police officers and he felt that they did not believe that he was being truthful in, furnishing this estimate. He stated the police also asked him if he would be willing to take a polygraph examination at the conclusion of the Interview and he agreed. He stated he took the examlnatioji but did not know the results. Regarding the events that took place at the Main Street ramp on November 24, 1963, he felt he had furnished as much detail as he could possibly recall when previously interviewed by the FBI. He stated that when the police car arrived at the entrance to the ramp he was standing at the edge of the marble pillar on the east side of the ramp. He stated this pillar is about six or seven feet long and from the edge of the pillar to the isidewalk is about another ten feeto As the car 6'arae up the ramp it paused briefly in a normal fashion for a car entering a busy street. He did not recall Officer VAUGHN speaking to anyone in the car. As stated previously, he seemed to recall clearly that VAUGHN walked from his position Just Inside the ramp out into Main Street.

He was certain that VAUGHN did not cross the center stripe but could not recall how close to the center stripe he actually did walk. He also seemed to recall that when the police car left the ramp that he had the thought Irt his mind that It was probably going to the county Jail where LEE HARVEY OSWALD would be transferred. He did not watch the car as It drove west on Main Street and did not know whether or not the car turned onto Harwood Street. In. attempting to come to an estimate of how much time elapsed between the car leaving the entrance and the shooting of OSWALD^ he seemed to recall that the car was gone for a long enough period of time for It to arrive at Its destination. He realized that It takes longer than a minute or two for the car to get to the county Jail but this was the thought that flashed through his mind at the time. After VAUGHN returned from the street, he again" positioned himself In the center of the Main Street ramp facing out towards Main Street. He could not recall In which cirectlon VAUGHN'S eyes were fixed, at the time, but he did recall that he was facing directly out towa^xi the street. As soon as VAUGHN positioned himself there. he left his position at the end of the marble pillar and walked closer to the curb so as to get a better view down the ramp and Into the basement. After taking the few steps to that position he then faced the building and made every effort to see Into the basement. • It was while he was standing In that position that the roan, who a few moments after that walked by VAUGHN Into the basement, appeared Ip his vision. He stated he observed this out of the corper of his eye and the man was probably about 18 to 20 fee^ away when he first realized that someone was walking In his direction. The man walked directly in front of him which would have meant that he walked between the building and hipself . He stated this is probably why- he distinctly recalled that the man s right hand was in ' his coat pocket as 1;be right side of this individual would be the only side t]^t jhe could observe as he walked by him. 1 As previqusly stated jao one walked down the ramp during the time VAUGHN stepped into t^e street. As soon as the car left he felt that they would be bringing OSWALD out momentarily and injorder to get a better view, he stepped toward the curb. Daniels Exhibit No. 5327 — Continued 426 DL 44-1639 1 He stated it only took VAUGHN about I5 or 20 seconds to return to his position at the head of the rampo He recalled wondering why VAUGHN let the man walk by him and assumed that he must have known the individual. He stated he could recall nothing additional at this time concerning the events at the Main Street ramp.

On November 22, 1963, at approximately l:3'~'n, I was in the home of my sister- in-law Barbara Davis at hOO East 10th Str^ ot. D-.ill i.s, Toxas. I also live at this - address, but in another apartment. BartJara and I wore lying on the bed with her two children when we heard a loud bang. Immediately following the first report, there was another loud bang. We then jumped un and ran to the front door. Mien we pot to the door and went out on the porch, I saw a nan who I later that day identified at the Dallas Police Department, This man was coming across the yr.rd and was almost to the walk which Ir-id.': directly to the porch and is in a direct line with the front door. The man had a revolver in his left hand and was shaking the shells out of It into his ripht hand. Ac the man passed directly in front of us, he looked up for a second or so and th"n continued on across iJie yard toward rtitton Street in a normal walk. At aboi^t this time, a woman directly across th" intersection from our house yelled out "•:•»' s dead, he's dead, he shot him", T.;e man glanced up at the woman and ;-:'jpt en walking. He walked around the corner of the house that faces Patton "treet and out of sight. Barbara Davis and I then returned to the house where she called the police. After she called the police, we went back o^t on the porch but by then the man we had seen with the gun was no longer in sight. When the police airived we searchei the area on the side of the house that faceG Patton Street, and Barbara found a guji shell that had been fired. After tr --^lice left we again searched the ar'^a and I found a gun shell that had been flr-d. I later turned this shell over to the Dallas Police Department, I have been giren an opportunity to irako aci-^itions and corrections on this sv-te-.ent, and it is true to the best of my knovrlorine and belief. ^ '/'r?/a^^^//-/( /fh<^//^ Subscribed and swozn to before me this 1st day of December 1963 Witnessed ;ial AgfentV.S.

The remaining reserve officers were instructed to go back into the assembly room in the basement of the Police and Courts Building for other assignments. Sometime after the search of the basement area, Officer D. PATE came down into the basement and was assigned by DEAN to L. stand at the bottom of the exit ramp leading to Commerce Street. It was DEAN'S recollection that Officers stationed at the various entrances into the basement area began admitting press- men, cameramen, and television men with equipment at approximately 9:45 All and for some time thereafter these people were "milling around" in the basement area. At about D:30 AM, Assistant Chief of Police BATCHELOR came down into the basement and moved all of the television men and pressmen and cameras out of the jail office and told them they would have to stay out in the parking area in front of the hall leading from the city jail office. At about 11:15 AM, as DEAN was moving around in the base- ment area. Lieutenant PIERCE came down and instructed DEAN to get two officers immediately to go v/ith PIERCE. By this time an armored car had arrived and backed into the opening of the Commerce Street ramp. DEAN assigned Sergeants PUTNAM and B. J. MAXEY to go v/ith PIERCE, and these three officers got into an unmarked car and left by way of the Main Street openi-.g on the north side of the building. Prior to leaving, PIERCE had told DEAN to go to the arnor-ed car ard that he was to ride in the armore d car wit h the prisoner. DEAN went to the rear of the armored car, the door of which v/as open, and stood with his back to the door of the car, looking down the ramp into the basement area. While standing in this position, he saw Lieutenant PIERCE and Sergeants PUTNAM and MAXEY get into the unmarked car and begin driving through the base- ment toward the Main Street ramp. He recalled that as this car passed the hallway leading into the jail office. Sergeant PUTNAM had to get out and move the crowd of pressmen and television men back so the car could get through. At the same time two other un- marked cars moved from the basement parking area and onto the Commerce Street ramp immediately behind the armored car. DEAN recognized the drivers of these cars as Homicide Bureau Detectives; however, he does not recall which detectives were in these cars. About 30 seconds after Lieutenant PIERCE Isd driven out the Main Street ramp, DEAN heard commotion in the basement and comments, "Here he comes," and "They're bringing him dov/n," and so forth. Just after he heard this commotion and comments, he saw a man dart quickly from the crowd, standing in front of the hall leading to the jail office. He then heard a shot and saw smoke 4-% ^ ^ ^"' Dean Exhibit No. 5008—Continued 434 DL 44-1639 rising above the crowd, apparently from the shot which had just been fired. DEAN immediately ran down the ramp, jumping over the top of the two cars parked between him and the assembled crov/d in the basement area. He did not see the prisoner LEE HARVEY OSV/ALD at this time or the actual shooting, as his view was obstructed by the crowd. V/hen he got to where the shooting had occurred, otlaer officers including a number of Detectives from the Homicide Bureau were dragging a man into the jail office. At this time, DEAN recognized the man as JACK RUBY, operator of the Carousel Club in Dallas. As he went into the jail office, he saw LEE HARVEY OSV/ALD in the jail office receiving emergency treatment. He helped clear the crowd from the area to allow OSV/ALD to be placed in an ambulance. He then v/ent to the third floor of the Police Building where he ran into Chief of Police CURRY, and CURRY asked him to take Secret Service Agent FOREST V. SORRELS up to the fifth floor to interview JACK RUBY. DEAN said he would estimate there v;ere about 60 persons altogether, including newsmen and police officers, in the basement at the tine of the shooting of OSV/ALD; however, there may have been more, as he can only guess as to this number. jy^ia DEAN has known JACK RUBY since i^59 as operator of the 2/j.^r' C&TOMsel Club on Commerce Street in Dallas. At that time, DEAN ' was Sergeant over a partol in the downtown section of Dallas, and as part of his routine checking of places of entertainment in the district hD frequently saw RUBY at Jthe C^ousel Club. On occasion, when driving in the area with a»f^?fe^'i6lS4:€er, he would go up to the Carousel Club usually once or twice a week. In addition, DEAN . ^ ^ said he had gone to the club with friends while off duty on fe«r-^j"^w<:' fSji^ occasions during the time he had known JACK RUBY. RUBY was very friendly towards DEAN and other police officers and frequently when he ran into them on the street, he would invite them to cone to his place and see the show. DEAN advised the four times ha attended the Carousel Club while off duty, and the occasional con- tacts with RUBY in checking his place of entertainment, were the only contacts he had had with RUBY since becoming acquainted with him in 1959. He was never employed by RUBY and does not know of any other police officer who ever worked for RUBY at any of his clubs. DEAN advised that JACK RUBY had attempted to become friendly with him; however, he had kept his contacts with RUBY on an imper- sonal basis. Dean Exhibit No. 5008—Continued 435 DL 44-1639 5 DEAN advised that since he was off duty on November 22 and 23, 1963, he did not observe RUBY on these dates and he had not observed RUBY on November 24, 1963, prior to the shooting of LEE HARVEY OSWALD in the basertent of the Police Building. DEAN advised that in 1960, he had received a notice from the Texas Liquor Control Board that RUBY's license to operate the Carousel Club had been suspended for three days for sell in g alcoholic beverages and on driving past RUBY's place he had seen he was open and had gone to RIBY's place to arrest RUBY for this violation; however, on arrival at the club, he had been told by RUBY that he, ROSY, had already served this three-day suspension. DEAN then checked by telephone v^ith Lieutenant GILMORE of the Vice Squad and was informed that the suspension had been served and, therefore, had not arrested RUBY on this occasion. DEAN advised he does not know of any unauthorized person or persons who were permitted to enter the basement area of the Police Building on November 24, 1963. He said he does not know of anyone who was permitted to enter the area without showing proper identification. DEAN is not acquainted with, and had never seen, LEE HARVEY OSWALD prior to the time he saw him in the city jail office after he had been shot by JACK RUBY. DEAN has no knowledge of any association between RUBY and OSV/ALD. DEAN advised that a few minutes after the shooting had occurred, and after he had recognized RUBY as the individual who had shot OSV/ALD, and after OSWALD had been removed from the police basement by ambulance, he, DEAN, went to Officer R. C. NELSON, who was stationed at the doorway leading from the Police and Courts Building into the basement, and asked NELSON if JACK RUBY had come into the basement area through that door. NELSON had told him that he was positive RUBY had not entered the basement by this means. Later on November 24, 1963, after JACK RUBY had been interviewed by police officers and had stated that he entered the basement through the Main Street ramp, he had gone to Officer R. E. VAUGHN, who had covered that entrance, and VAUGHN had told him that RUBY did not come into the basement through the Main Street ramp entrance. A few minutes later, vvhile on the fifth floor of the Police Building, and after SORRELS of Secret Service had interviewed JACK RUBY, DEAN asked RUBY how long he had been in the basement prior to the shooting, and RUBY told him he had been in the base- ment two or three minutes and that he had come into the basement ^ — De^an Exhibit No. 5008 Continued ^^^'^ 436 DL 44-1639 through the Main Street ramp. RUBY told him that a plain police car was coming out the Main Street ramp at the time he came in, and the officer who was stationed at the Main Street ramp had gone to this car to talk to the officer in the car, which RUBY believed was Lieutenant PIERCE. While the officer stationed at the Main Street ramp was talking to the officer in the car, RUBY had then gone into the entrance and down the ramp. DEAN said he did not contact the two reserve officers who had been stationed at the bottom of the Main Street ramp, as they were not in the area at the time he checked with Officers NELSON and VAUGHN. DEAN advised he could furnish no addition^ pertinent information. ^< i «. ^^ Dean Exhibit No. 5008 —Continued 437 ir hh T<:oQ .Ex.No.5009 DEAN, P.T.

Mr. PAYNE stated his reason for calling was to verify statements made by DEAN to the radio and television news media on November 24, 19^3, shortly after the shooting of LEE HARVEY OSWALD in the base- ment of the Dallas Police Building. PAYNE then asked several questions pertaining to that interview on November 24, 1963. The questions asked by Mr. PAYNE seemed to be verbatim of the Interview on November 24, 1963* To the best of DEAN's recollection, the questions asked were as follows: "Were you at the armored car when the shot was fired?" DEAN answered yes to this question. "Did you see the person that fired the shot at the time it was fired?" DEAN answered no to this question. "Did you see the person that fired the shot shortly after it was fired?" DEAN answered yes to this question. "Where? Was he inside the Jail office and on the floor at that time?" Answer - "Yes, he was on the floor and being restrained and handcuffed by several plain clothed officers," "Did you recognize the subject at that time as a person you knew by sight?"

Mr* Lavson had Jxist looked at his vatch, stating It ^as 12:31 PM and remarking that ve vould be approximately 5 minutes late In arriving at Market Hall* i —Continued Decker Exhibit No. 5323 457 As the Itotorcade vas proceeding down Elm Street, I distinctly romembor hefiring 2 shots* As I heard the first retort » I looked back over my shoulder and sew vhat appeared to me to ba a spray of water conia out of the rear seat of the President's car. At this same moment » Kr. Lawoon said, "Let's get out of here and get to the nearest hospital". When 1 heard the shots X noted motorcy&le officers coming off their cycles and running kip the embankment on Dealcy Plaza. At the same tima, Chief Curry vas on his intercom radio giving instruct ionB to the motorcycle escort to move out- Code 3 to Parkland Hospital. We moved out imm- ediately at vhich time I took the microphone and requested the DPD Dispatcher 521 to advise iny Station 5- Radioroom to notify all officers in my departn^nt to immediately get over to the area where shooting occurred and saturate the area of the park, railroad and all buildin^o, also advising all deputies to return to the station and stand by for emergency assignment. This was being done as we were proceeding Code 3 out Stemaons Expressway and was approximately 1% to 2 minutes from the time the shooting occurred. Ve arrived within minutes at the Emergency entrance to Parkland Hospital where I got out of the car and stood at the side of the Presidential automobile while Dexjkeb Exhibit No. 5323 —Continuied 458 the Preoldent vas removed from the autoiooblle and pieced on a stretcher carriage and taken Into the emargency roooi.

Xkthen sent Chief Crirainal deputy Allan &-tf;eatt back to the Sheriff's Office to see that staten^nts v^re tcken frook witnesses vho h^d been sent to the office earlier by both Deputy Sveatt and Inspector Sawyer* At approxic^^tely 1:30 PH, I received %rord on Inspector Sawyer's car radio that a Dallas Police Officer had been shot on Jefferson Street in 0^ Cliff and that tho suepoct was supposedly at large in the area on foot. I immediately got ahold of officers who were present including Deputy Sheriff's » Dallas Police Departi&3nt Officers and FBI officers who were at the scene, advising them of the shooting and dispatched them to Oak Cliff to assist in the search. At this time. Officer Sveatt also reported to oe that he had already sent 4 detectives to Oak Cliff to assist in the ••arch for tho suspect who had killed the police officer.

Dallas A,e_22 .Phone No. TA 7-9761 I was standing on Houston Street near the intersection of Depotes and 5ay(:> Sim Street. I took a picture of President Kennedy's car as it passed along Houston Street. I have an old camera. I looked down real quick and rolled the film to take the next picture. I then ran down to the corner of Elm andHouston Streets, this being the southv;est corner. I took another picture just as President Kennedy's car rounded the corner. Hevas just about all the way around the corner. I was standing back from the corner and had to take the pictures through some of the crowd. I ran on down 21ra a little more and President Kennedy's car was starting to go down the hill to the triple underpass. I was running trying to keep the President's car in my view and was winding my film as I ran. I was looking doCn at my camera to see the number of the film as I ran. I took another picture as the President's- car v/as going down the hill on Elm Street. I started to wind my film again and I heard a loud noise. I thought that this noise v/as either a firecracker on a car had backfired. I looked up and it seemed like there was another loud noise in the matter of a few seconds. I looked dov/n the street and I could see the President's car and another one and they looked like the cars v/ere stopped. Then I saw a a flash of pink like someone standing up and then sitting back down in the car. Then I ran around so I could look over the back of a monument and I either saw the following then or when I was standing back down on the corner of Elm Street. I cannot remember exactly where I was when I saw the following: I heard at least two shots fired and I saw what looked like a firecracker going off in the president's car. My assumption for this was because I saw fragments going up in the air. I alsosiw a man in either the President's car or the car behind his and someone down in one of those cars pulled out what looked like a rifle. I also remember seeing what looked like a nickel revolver in someone's hand in the President's car or somev/here immediately around his car. Then the President's car sped on under the underpass. Police and a lot of spectators started running up the hill on the opposite side of the street from me to a fence of wood. I assumed that that v/es where the shot was fired from at that time. I kept watching the crowd. Then I came around the monument over to Llain Street. I walked down tov/ard where the President's car had stopped. I saw a Police Officer and some men in plain clothes. I don't know who they were. These Police Officers and the men in plain clothes were digging around in the dirt as if they v/ere looking for a bullet. I walked back around the monument over to Elm Street where they were digging in the dirt. I went on across the street and up the embankment to where the fence is located. By this time almost all of the people had left. There were quite a fe'v people down on the street crowded around a motorcycle.

Deputy Sheriff Boone contacted superiors and was told to bring me over to th6 Sheriff's Office. Deputy Sheriff Boone took my camera and asked me to wait. I waited in the Sheriff's Office and some time later, an hour or two, he brought my camera back and told me that as soon as they got through with the film and they were dry that they would give me the film.

On Noveiabcr 22, 1963, I was driving a rented White Valiant automobile west on Elm Street and was proceeding to the overpass in a v/esterly direction and ar a point about 45 or 50 feet east of the overhead signs of the right entrance road to the overpass, there was a truck parked on the right har:d side of the road. The tiruck looked like it had 1 or 2 wheels up ca the curb. The hood of the truck was open. On the drivers side of the true!:, there were printed letters in black, oval shaped, which said, "Air Conditioning". This was a pickup truck and along the back side of the truck were what appeared to be tool boxes. The truck was a green Fcrd with a Texas license. I remember seeing the word "Ford" at the back of tha truck. A man was sitting under the wheel of the car and slouched over the wheel. Itiis man had on a green jacket, was a white male and about his 40 's and was heavy set. I did not see him too clearly. Another man was at the back of the truch and reached over the tailgate and took out from the truck what appeared to be a gun case. This case was about 8" wide at it's widest spot ar.d tapered down to a width of about 4" or 5". It was bro«-n in color. It had a handle and was about 3% to 4 feet long. The man v;ho took this out cf tihe truck then proceeded to walk away from the truck and as he did, the snail end of the case caught in the grass or sidewalk and he reached dovn to free it. He then proceeded to walk across the grass and up the grassy hill which forms part of the overpass. This is the last I saw of this man. I had been delayed because the truck which I described above was blocking my passage and I had to await tintil the lane to myleft cleared so I could go by the truck. During the ti:=e that I was at this point and observed the above incident there were 3 policeizan standing talking near a motorcycle on the bridge ^ just west of Exe.

Just about the time President Kennedy was right in front of us, I heard another shot ring out and the President put his hands up to his head. I saw blood all over the side of his head. About this time Mrs. Kennedy grabbed the President and he kind of lay over to the side kind of in her arms. Then my husband, Billy, said it is a shot. Vi'e grabbed our two children and my husband lay on one child and I lay on the other one on the grass. Yfe started to get up and then all of a sudden we lay back down. I don't know v/hat it was but another shot may have been fired that caused us to lay back dov;n. Everyone started running back toward the brick structure. Vife got up and went back there. Everyone was saying, "V/hat happened? VfTiat happened.?" Some man from Channel 8 here in Dallas took OS over to th6 studio where we gave statements of what we had seen.

I was by myself, there were other people around watching the motorcade. The motorcade had just passed me when I heard something that I thought vas a firecracker at first, and the President had just jjassed me, because after he had just passed, there was a loud report, it just scared me, and I noticed that the President jumped, he sort of ducked his head down and I thoxjgfat at the time that it probably scared him, too, just like it did me, becaiise he flinched, like he jumped. I saw him put his elbows like this, with his hands on his chest. By this time, the motorcade never did stop, and the President fell to his left and his wife jumped up on her knees, I believe it was, in the back of the car on her knees, I couldn't say that for sure. And I realized then it had been a shot. I looked in the car and she was on her knees, and he wasn't even visible in the car. I looked around then and everybody was running every which way, I don't know why I didn't run, I Just stood there and backed up and looked around to see if I could see anything, but I saw no one whatever with anything that resembled a gun or anything of that kind. I Just heard two shots. "When it happened, I was just looking at the President and his wife, and when she jumped iip in the car, I had my vision focused on her, and I didn't see anything else, about the others in the front of the car.

The President jumped up In his seat, and it looked like what I thought was a firecracker had went off and I thought he had realized it. It was just like an explosion and he was standing up. By this time he was directly in front of us and I was looking directly at him when he was hit in the side of the head. Then he fell back and Governor Connally was holding his middle section. Then we fell down on the grass as it seemed that we were in direct path of fire. It looked like Mrs. Kennedy jumped on top of the President. He kinda fell back and it looked like she was holding him. Then the car sped away and everybody mn that area had run upon top of that little mound. I thought the shoiil had come from the garden directly behind me, that was on an elevation from v;here I was as I was right on the curb.

We stood there for a tine talking about various things and were talking about the security measures that were being made for the president's visit in view of the recent trouble v-hen llr. Adalai Stevenson had been a recent visitor to Dalles. It must have been 5 or 10 minutes later v/hen we v;ere just looking at the surroudding buildings when I looked up at the Texas Book fs^.v/i.-aiiiaafy building and noticed that the second floor fraa the top had tv:o adjoining windo%/s which were wide open, and upon looking I saw what I thought was a man standing back about 15 feet from the \yindows and was holding in his ams what appeared to be a hi powered rifle because it looked as though it had a scope on it. He appeared to be holding this at a parade rest sort of position. I mentioned this to ny wife and merely made the remark that it must be the secret service men. This man appeared to be a white man and appeared to have a light colored shirt on, open at the neck. He appeared to be of slender build and appeared to have dark hair. In about 15 minutes President Kennedy passed the sp^ri: spot where we were standing and the motorcade had just turned west on Eln heading doxTO the hill V7hen I heard a noise v;hich I thought to be a back fire. In fact some of the people around laughed and then in about 8 seconds I heard another report and in about 3 seconds a third report. My wife, who had ahold, of my hand, started running and dragging me across the street and I never did look up again at this window.

I was standing there when the President's car passed and just after thay rounded the corner from Houston onto Elm Street, I heard a report and I knew at once that it was a high-powered rifle shot. I am a gih big game hunter and am familiar with the sound of hi powered rifles and I knew vrhen I h^aard the retort that the shot had hit somothing. Withnn a fsxK few seconds I heard another retort and knew it also had hit souething and all I could see was the highly colored hat that Mrs. Kennedy had on. I couldn't see anything else. I v;as so sick that I went back to my office but after thinking it over, I came back as a citizen to offer my statement if it could help in any way. During the time I was standing there I did look up into the building v/here the Texas Book Depository is and saw some people, maybe 12 or 14, hanging out of windows, but I didn't see anyone with a gun. When the sound of this shot came, it sounded to me like this shot cair.e from away back or from within a building. I have heard this same sort of sound when a shot has come from within a cave, as I have been on many big game hunts.

Depoi., .nd ..y.:- Last Tuesday evening at approximately 12:15 AM (Wednesday morning), a lady friend and myself jxx we had made an acquaintance, of a man who invited us to his Motel for some after hours drinking (after 12 at night). I don't have his name but I have the license number of the car he was driving. I left my car at the parking loti near the Baker Hotel, in Dallas, and we proceeded to his motel, a large kitchenette motel, as you go across the Houston street xxsdssx viaduct it is the first motel on the right, it's a big white motel, not too modern, I don't know the name of it. After the three of us got to his motel, where he was previously registered, we had a few drinks in his room. He proceeded to entemt tain us with a mandolin and seemed to be pretty good with it. Ve had been there about 50 minutes, as well as I remember. About this time this fellow began to make indecent remarks to the woman, to the effect that hQ wanted her to get in bed with him. We had all been drinking, I was fairly well polluted, more so than the others but still had my mental and reasoning powers. At this point I objected to his language and overtures and we became involved in an argument of words. Something cam.e up to the effect that he mis must be a queer or something. Then he tells me to get the hell out of there and if there's not going to be a party get the hell at of the place, I believe is the way he said it; and as I turned to walk ^jward the door and told the woman with rrs let's go, he pulled a rifle out of the closet, and put a round into the chamber, pointed it at me, and said: "Leave '.'... in so manj words that's what it amounted to As the woman and I got to the . door he said, "I should make you strip and let me see your beautiful body." With that we walked out the door. He left the rifle inside the room and came outside and told us to get into the car and he would take us back to our car. Whens we got back to the parking lot v/here we had previously left BHXXK?;r my car, after some more conversation to the effect that I didn't appreciate what he had done and this and that, then he pulls a pistol — I don't know where it came from, whether from his pocket or from the seat of the car on the left. He had the pistol in his lefthand. We were still in his car just as we were about to get out. And he said to sit still. And the woman put her hand on the barrel of the gun and told him to point it the other way, she was scared. I said to her, ''Let's go." And opened the c ar door. We got out of the car and walked over to our car, which was about six feet away from his at the time. As he drove off in his car, the worasin and I both got the ixEssruc license number on his car, and ve each repeated it aloud to each other, I continued to repeat the number until we got in my car and the woman wrote the number down on the back of a check book that was laying on the dash of ray car ( continued next page ) .

The President's car had just come up in front of me v/hen I heard a shot and saw the President slump do\7n in the car and heard Mrs. Kennedy say, "Oh, no"., then a second shot and then I hit the ground as I realized these were shots. Then all of the peq>le started running up the terrace av/ay from the President's car and I got up and started rxinning also, not realizing what had happened. In just a few moments the President's car sped off and everybody was just irunning around towards the railroad tracks and I knew that they had somebody trapped up there. I imagine I stayed there 15 or 20 minutes and then went over on Houston Street to where I had my truck parked. I had just pulled away from the curb and was headed toward the Houston street •viaduct when an automobile that had 3 men in it pulled away from the ctirb in a burst of speed, passing me on the right side, which was very dangerous at that point, then got in front of me, and it seemed then as an afterthought, slotted in a big hurry in front of me as though realizing they would be conspicious in speeding. These three men were of slender build and seemed to be very excited in talking and motioning to each other. They went across the Houston Street Viaduct and I ttirncd off at Marsalis Street exit and they continued on going towards Zsngs Blvd. They were in a 1961 or 1962 Chevrolet sedan, maroon in color.

Dear Janet Thank you for your letter of January 29th. No, I am not connected with our Foreign Service. I was a consultant for the State Deaprtment in 1957 '58 (in the geological field) but have not had any consulting jobs for the Government and did not mind as I have always been a Republican. As you can see from the letterhead, I have a geological conXilting firm in Dallas and specilize in foreign exploration. Here in Haiti I have a loose contract with the Government for the com- plete exploration of the whole country. Also I have some oil companies backing me in the eventual development of the oil resources of this island. Dimitri is in India right now, for his sabattical year. He belongs to some Buddist sect and goes to Bengal for a year, of - study and retreat. I will write to him and give him your kind /tM:>c| J message. When in Washington I will be delighted to come and "tf/Zr^ (/ ^^ see you and your charming husband. If possible I shall bring my wife along. She is a well known designer, by the way. Since I have a sisal plantation Here, I stay quite often in Haiti and am very fond of this covintry. If you and your husband have a chance to come and visit us here, I am extending to both of you an invitation to come over and stay with us any time you feel like. We have a beautiful house way up above Port-au-Prince. Do not believe the silly reports of the American press about Haiti. It is not a "hell hole", no Americans have been molested here and the situation at present time is peaceful and pleasant. The effects of the terrible cyclone Flora are being alleviated and the situation is becoming normal again. Very sincejreiy yours, . x^ /6e6rge d^ Mohrenschildt GDM/SS ADDRESS IN HAITI (W I ) .

Our constitution requires that there must be a minimum of five members before a branch of the Socialist Workers Party can be formed and it is not our practice to take in individual members where no branch yet exists. Unfortunately we don't have any branches at all in Texas. We very much appreciate, however, your request for membership in the party and wish to continue on a basis of close sympathetic relation with you until such time as a branch of the SWP can exist in Dallas. Pending the neces- sary basis for such a local structure, we suggest that you concentrate on seeking subscribers to the Militant and pro- moting the sale of socialist literature obtainable through Pioneer Publishers „t Through contacts you may be able to develop on this basis let us hope it will be possible before too long to w e lcome a D a lla-S-- -Texas branch into the party. In line with the above I am taking the liberty of send- ing a number of subscription blanks to the Militant so that you can have full advantage of our introductory offer of 4 /; months for only $1. We have had great success nationally V7ith our subscription campaign. Also, you yourself should be sure to subscribe to both the Militant and International Socialist Review as you will find them excellent sources of socialist literature and information. ^ in touch with us.

Dec. 9, 1962 Mr. Lee H. Oswald Box 2S15 Dallas, Texas. Dear Mr. Oswald: Your letter and reproductions were turned over to me by the SWP office. I am familiar with reproductions and offset printing processes. It is clear from your work that you are skilled at blow-ups, reversals and reproduction work generally. Do jiou do any other phases of the process as well as photography ? What ahput layout and art work ? We have access to a small offset shop here in New York. Generally, when we need any copy work done we have taken it there directly. However there might very well be occasion when we could utilize your skill for some printing project. It would, of course, necessarily have to be a project in which we would have flexibility as to time. It is not easy to do anything in which there is pressure to get a job out immediately through correspondence between New York and Texas. Such work must be done locally, out of necessity. However, for a longer term project it might Bae possible to ask your aid. Could you write to me directly at the above address? I would like to know what size camera you have; how lairge a paper print you can make; how large a negative; and any other technical information that you can give us that would help us judge how your aid could be most effective. If you have any questions please feoc feel. free toP ^V^ ^^ and I will try to respond promptly. ^ With best wishes for a year of progress Bob Chester- 4^ DoBBS Exhibit No. 12 \ 579 Sosiallst r/orLcro Parly= -^H-HHigafW'V'^-j.jj^..^.,.>. 116 Uaivenicy Place • New Yodt 5.

He has been in Dallas for about six weeks and after the murder of LEE HARVEY OSWALD he recalled that an individual who stopped by the radio station on a couple of occasions was JACK RUBY. He also recalled that on November 23, 1963, he received three telephone calls on the KLIF "Hot Line" which is phone number RI 7-9319. He stated on the first call an individual requested to know if he had any information as to when LEE HARVEY OSWALD was going to be transferred, to the second call the same individual inquired as to whether any of the KLIF newsmen were at the City Hall. This individual then asked him if he knew who he was and when he said he did not, the individual identified himself as JACK RUBY. On the third . call, RUBY, who he now realized had made the first two calls, told him that he would call the radio station if he learned anything newsworthy as he was going to personally go to the City Hall. As best he could recall these three calls were made between 2 200 p.m.. and '^'.00 p.m., on November 23, 1963. He knows nothing concerning RUBY'S background, personal life, or political convictions and does not know why he shot LEE HARVEY OSWALD. He never heard of OSWALD prior to President KENNEDY'S assassination and knows of no connection between OSWALD and RUBY. He stated that CHUCK DUNAWAY was formerly an announcer for KLIF and now resides at 1438 Oates Drive in Dallas and is employed by Abnack Record Company in Dallas. ^^.

He told Chief BATCHELOR he would recontact him later to ascertain the neasurements. Chief BATCHELOR told EftBMING the armored truck was needed^ in order to handle the transportation of OSWAIJ) with the utmost r security. He also told FLEMING he wanted the truck backed into the Commerce Street entrance. FLEMING told Chief BATCHELOR there would be some delay, because it would be necessary to contact two employees, each of vrtiom had a key to the armored transport terminal, two keys being necessary to open the terminal. Chief BATCHELOR asked him to get to City Hall as soon as he could. He made no mention of the de- tails of the transportation, such as the route that would be taken, the time OSWALD would be put into the truck, the size of the guard, or any other details. FILMING then attempted to call BERT HALL, manager of the Dallas Office of his firm, but was unable to locate him at home. He then called TOM MASTIN, JR., the company President, in Fort Worth, and told him of Chief BATCHELOR' s request. MASTIN gave his okay for the furnishing of an armored truck to the Police Department.

He told JAMBS at that time of the Police Department's request to furnish a truck for the transporting of OSVIALD. A few minutes later, at around 9:45 to 9:55 AM, HALL telephonically contacted FILMING. The latter asked HALL who had the two keys to the Dallas terminal of the company. HALL told -him they were in possession of employees DOli^ALD GOIN and ED DIETRICH, FLEMING called DIETRICH and it took him another ten minutes, approxi- mately, to contact DIETRICH. He did not tell DIETRICH of the plans to move OSV^LD, but merely told him to meet FILMING and HALL at the terminal immediately. FI£MING said DONALD ^IN was telephonically contacted by HALL and given similar instructions. FI£MING then proceeded to the Dallas terminal of the company. By the time he arrived, HALL, GOIN and DIETRICH were already there, FLEMING, from the terminal, telephonicallyrecon- tacted Chief BATCHELOR and ascertained the dimensions of the Commerce Street entrance to the Cith Hall garage. FLEMING said that by this time such information was unnecessary, because t:he other men had been at that garage and knew that the larger truck would not go all the way into the entrance. FILMING and HALL discussed what truck to take. HALL was in favor of using an ordinary armored truck, but FILMING was in favor of taking the larger, two-ton Chevrolet truck, because he felt this larger truck would be necessary to accommodate the many persons w^o he felt would accompany OSVJALD on the transfer. It was decided that the larger truck would be used. FLEMING said he had left his wrist watch at homa, and could not even estimate the time that their conference broke up, the time they left the terminal, or the time they arrived at City Hall. He added parenthetically that his company was most anxious to extend complete cooperation to the Police Department in this or Fleming Exhibit No. 1 —Continued 652 • 3 DL 44-1639 any other matter* because the company was seeking the issuance of fifty special officers* permits for its employees to carry guns. They then left the teirminal, with HALL driving the larger armored vehicle and PUSMING riding as passenger. COIN and DIETRICH followed in the smaller vehicle. FILMING believes GOIN drove the smaller vehicle, and believes GOIN was the only member of the group in uniform. They left the parking lot on Flora Street, drove west on Flora to Leonard, south on Leonard to Ross, west on Ross to Pearl South on Pearl to Main, west on Main to Hairwood, south on Hart^rood to Commerce, and east on Commerce to the entrance of the City Hall ga rage HALL backed the truck into the Commerce Street entrance of the garage, and was only able to get the rear end in, the cab and the four front doors of the truck protruding outside 1:he garage. FILMING got out the passenger side, while KALL remained in the truck the entire time, with the motor running. The truck fit very snugly into the entrance and was so close to the entrance on the passenger side that FLEMING had to go asjound the front of the truck and enter ths garage on the driver's side of the truck. He recalls there was E policeman on guard duty on the passenger side of the garage en- trance. He was not a part of the OSWALD guard force, but was merely on duty to prevent unauthorized persons from entering and leaving the gar&ge. FLEMING does not know the identity of this officer. I When FLEMING tried to enter the garage he was challenged by ar police officer just Inside the garage. During the course of the period he spent there, he was in and out of the garage on- three occasions, conferring with the other employees o£ S&lli 'f Irm, «nd he was challenged on three occasions, having to identify himself and explain the reason for his presence in the garage. I When FILMING got in the garage, he located and conferred with Chief BATCHSLOR. They got into the rear of the truck and checked Fleming Exhibit No. 1 — Continued 653 4 ^L 44-1639 the locks and other security devices for protecting the prisoner. Chief BATCHELOR did not tell FLEMING whan CSVIALD would be brought down, the route they should take in going to the County Court House, or any other details of the proposed transfer. FI£MING said he entered into no discussion with any other police official or em- ployee • He said the sntaller armored vehicle parked across the street from the garage entrance, on the south side of Commerce Street, and during the period he was in and out of the garage he was checking their position, and conferring with COIN and DIETRICH in that truck. He instructed them to follow the larger truck when they departed for the Court House, so that should anyihing go wrong with the larger truck OSWALD could be immediately transferred to the smaller vehicle and the transfer could be accomplished with a minimvim of trouble and a maximum of security. FIS14ING said he did not see any police officer conferring with HALL while the truck was parked in the entrance. He said that wtien the shooting occurred he, FILMING, was outside the garage. He said the shooting sounded like a cap pistol. He said he was not ti a position to see into the garage at the time or immediately after the shooting, but he did enter the garage soon thereafter and was told by a newspaper reporter that OSWALD had been shot. ; FILMING said he never knew OSWALD or RUBY, and i^id not see either of them at any time. He said he could not estimate the length of time they were at the City Hall garage before the shooting. Shortly after the shooting, an ambulance entered the Main Street side of the garage to pick up OSWALD, at which time their armored truck was kept from leaving the Commerce Street side because it was barred by a police cruiser parked in front of it. However, in a short time, the police cruiser was moved and the truck then pulled out of the garage entrance, and parked across the street on the south side of Commerce Street. FILMING then located Chief BATCHELOR, told him it did not . Fleming Exhibit No. 1 — Continued 654 5 DL 44-1639 look as though the services of the armored truck would be needed any longer, to which Chief BATCHELOa agreed, and the four individuals from the armored transport fiirm left in the two trucks.

He further stated that he did not violate any U.S. laws by his actions and quoted in pairt, an American Einbassy, Moscow letter lAiich stated: "Meanwhile, your continued retention of your present Soviet passport or an extension thereof does not prejudice in any way your claim to American citizenship," SUfcWARY OF SERVICE.

TEXAS £Dl80N 5-494S Kelly Jacods July 22, 1959 To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify that the undersigned is attorney for Mrs. Marguerite C. Oswald, representing her in a claim for Workman's Compensation Benefits, growing out of her injuries sustained December 5, 1953, while she was an employee of the King Candy Company working at the Fair Ridglea Department Store. This is a Workman's Compensation Claim, and suit has not yet been filed because the claim is pending before the Industrial Accident Board of the state of Texas, and the matter was supposed to have been passed on by the Industrial Accident Board on July 14, 1959, but no notice has been received as of this date as to whether or not any award was entered at that time. It is possible and likely that suit will have to be filed when the award of the Industrial Accident Board is known, and it is not expected that the case would be set for trial earlier than December, 1959, and probably not later than March or April of I960.

Lee H. Oswald County of Tarrant { 1653230 MCAS -1- MAG * 11 F.P.O. San Frai Cisco, California I, lire. John B, Knight, of (>U'^0 Greenway, Fort Worth, Texas, do on this 24,th day of July 1959, make the following statenent concerning the need for Pfc. Lee H. Oswald, 1653230, MCAS -1- MAG - 11, F.P.O. San Francisco, California, to be given a dischajcge. I an a friend of the serviceman's mother. I have known her for eight months. Our acquaintanceship and friendship started over the sale of a dog which we had and the Oswalds bought. Mrs. Oswald has not been in good health since her accident in Deccnbor 1958, She is very nervous and has a great deal of trouble in breathing. Her nose is swollca much of the time, I know Mrs, Oswald has been under the care of doctorti for many months. Because of her condition she is not able to return to her work. Sie has tried to hold down other jobs but because she is not v/oll r-he ic reread to give up her work. It Iv, hard for Mrs. Oswald to be alone and to make all the many decisions which cone up. I know how hard it is for a woman alone since I had to make all the decisions for my family for years. l^. I know l-lrs. Oswald has no income and since she can't work she needs her son here to provide for her. I believe that Pfc. Lee Oswald should be given a discharge so that he may come home and provide for his mother. Signed, sur>:cr;i-:'^^) ano sv/or.-i to ctrcit me ^wzJP.Li. day Mrs. John B.

The Captain and Sergeant came over and told FUQUA and the other men that they V70uld have to leave the basement and that no one was going to be allowed to - be in the basement except news reporters and police officers , . FUQUA and the approximate four or five men he was with took the elevator to the first floor of the Municipal Building. FUQUA heard the '*^ Captain tell the elevator operator that he should not bring the elevator back to the basement any more. FUQUA informed that before he and the group were sent up on the first floor of the Municipal Building he observed a number of police officers searching the basement area. He advised they searched in, under and on top of cars, and apparently did a thorough job. FUQUA, along v/ith the other meny after going up on the first floor of the Municipal Building, looked out on the Commerce Street entrance to observe the transfer of OSWALD to the County Jail. This group of men "milled around" on the first floor of the Municipal Building watch- ing out on Commerce Street for approximately thirty or forty minutes FUQUA became impatient and he and ALFREDLA . RIGGS went out of the building on the Main Street side. They went by the ramp leading into the basement from the Main Street 12/:.0/63 Dallas, Texas .

He saw two officers at the ramp and recalled that while on the first floor of the Manicipal Building had seen niimerous officers on the CaoitTierce Street side. There were approxiiaately two or three peoole whom FUQUA just vagaely recalls on the Main Street side near the ramp. FUQUA recalls that one of these persons asked one of the police officers what was going on down in the basement, and the individual st-:i'0/ped down to look„ FUQUA recalls the officer ma.de a statement to the effect that he did not kno-w what was going on, but was at the entrance to keep people from going down into the basement. FUQUA did not see any polic3 cars or any other cars come in or out of the Main Street entrance to the ramp while he was there. FUQUA eould not recall what any of the people looked like who were standing oiuitside the entrance to the ramp on the Main Street side of the building. He estimated he and ALFREDIA RIG-GS lingered at the entrance for approximately two or three minutes, and then they went on to the locker room to watch television. There -was a man in the locker room at this time who told FUQUA and RIGGS that the transfer of OSWALD probably would not be shown on television at the time he was being transferred and would probably be shown at a later time. He advised this man, whose name he does not know, is a civilian employee in the jail. He stated he knows this man well, but does not know his name. FUQUA advised he does not know JACK RUBY and did not know LEE HARVEY OSWAI.Do FUQUA and RIGC?S then left and went into the Records Bureau 5 which is in the basement of the Police De- I partment at the Harwood Street entrance.
