Mr. Oswald.

After driving through Fort Worth, to the west side of Fort Worth, I turned around and headed back toward Dallas.

Mr. Jenner.

Excuse me. Up to this point it was continuous driving, except as you might have been resting or waiting a change of stoplight or something of that character?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

Did anybody contact you, or did you speak with anybody the period of this drive up to the moment we now have reached?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir: they did not.

Mr. Jenner.

All right, sir. You reversed your course and then where did you go?

Mr. Oswald.

When I reversed my course, I still did not have any idea as to exactly where I was going. But I did reverse my course, and I started driving on the turnpike between Fort Worth and Dallas.

Mr. Jenner.

Does that have a highway number? I notice you mentioned a Highway 80. Is that the same as the turnpike?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; it is not.

Mr. Jenner.

Would you explain that, please?

Mr. Oswald.

Highway 80 is on the old highway from Fort Worth to Dallas, the turnpike being a later and more modern trafficway.

Mr. Mckenzie.

And a toll road.

Mr. Oswald.

And a toll road.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you take Highway 80 in going to Fort Worth?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; I did.

Mr. Jenner.

But you returned by the toll road?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

All right, sir.
I take it you continued your drive--continued to drive along, while you were attempting to rearrange your thoughts.

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

And you eventually arrived where?

Mr. Oswald.

At Dallas, Tex., sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you become a guest of a hotel; did you register anywhere?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir, I did.

Mr. Jenner.

Where?

Mr. Oswald.

At the Statler Hilton Hotel.

Mr. Jenner.

In Dallas?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, up to that moment, having in mind your route, had anybody contacted you, had you spoken with anybody? Up to the time that you entered the Statler Hilton Hotel to register?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; I had spoken to somebody.

Mr. Jenner.

Who was that?

Mr. Oswald.

A gas station attendant midway on the turnpike where I stopped to buy gas.

Mr. Jenner.

But other than that incident, you had no contact with anyone?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

All right. You registered?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you go to your room?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Dulles.

Approximately what time was this?

Mr. Oswald.

Approximately 10:30 p.m., that night, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

After registering, did you retire for the evening, or did you go somewhere?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I did not retire for the evening. I did, in fact, go into the coffee room of the Statler Hilton Hotel in Dallas, and have a ham sandwich and some milk, and shortly after completing this, I walked across the street, which was approximately a half a block down the street, to the Dallas police station again.

Mr. Jenner.

All right.
