Mr. Oswald.

And I might add I did register under my regular name at the Statler Hilton.

Mr. Jenner.

I didn't even think to ask you that, because I assumed it was so. On page 9, you record and report the following morning an occasion when you were in the barber shop of the Statler Hilton, obtaining a shave. Isn't correct, sir?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

And you also record an observation by one or both of the I think the gentleman who was shaving you, on the subject of your brother, Lee Harvey Oswald deserved a fair trial like anybody else.

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

And then you end up that comment, "but I did leave my barber a 50-cent tip."
That followed an observation on your part that you did not engage in that conversation, and you merely listened.

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, would you indicate to me the significance if there is any significance, of the expression "but I did leave my barber a 50-cent tip."

Mr. Oswald.

The only significance, sir, that I put to it at that time was for the first time I was listening to somebody other than police officers and FBI agents as to the past events of the preceding day, and I was more or less hearing again for the first time a reaction, either--pro and con, to these two gentlemen's opinions, who I would take at that time would be average people, as to whether or not Lee did have a right to a fair trial, regardless of what he had done or been accused of.

Mr. Jenner.

And do I take it a fair interpretation of your comment is that you were pleased that average everyday people, that their reaction was that your brother, Lee Harvey Oswald, was entitled to, and they hoped he would obtain a fair and impartial trial when put to trial?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

And your reference to a 50-cent tip was an emphasis in your own mind of your pleasure that a spontaneous reaction of ordinary people was that he was entitled to and they hoped he would receive a fair and impartial trial?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Would you turn to page 10, please? You record events--you were then in the district attorney's office?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; that is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

You refer to a "H. Wade." Who is H. Wade?

Mr. Oswald.

Mr. Henry Wade.

Mr. Jenner.

And what office did he hold?

Mr. Oswald.

Dallas District Attorney.

Mr. Jenner.

All right. I don't know as I interpret your handwriting clearly. It looks to me as though you have written reference to a Jim Bowie. Who was Jim Bowie?

Mr. Oswald.

First assistant district attorney to Mr. Henry Wade.

Mr. Jenner.

On page 10 you use--you make a reference to, or a comment with regard to a conversation which I take it took place between you and Mr. Wade and Mr. Bowie, either or both of them, which was "not too informative." Do you find that?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir, I do see the section that you are referring to--if I may elaborate on that.

Mr. Jenner.

I would like to have you elaborate.

Mr. Oswald.

"Not too informative on either side."

Mr. Jenner.

Either side of what?

Mr. Oswald.

Referring to the district attorney's office as one side and my side--as the other side.

Mr. Jenner.

On what issue?

Mr. Oswald.

Of the conversations that we had in reference to the legal standing of Lee Harvey Oswald or to his guilt, of the accusations that had been--that he had been charged with.

Mr. Jenner.

Would you turn to page 12?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.
