(Testimony of Leonard Edwin Hutchison)
Mr. Jenner.
So, he was retracing his steps?
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir; retracing his steps.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, on the occasion when these three people were in your store on that evening, you're not able now to fix that occasion any more definitely as to point of time than sometime between the 1st and the did you say the 15th of November?
Mr. Hutchison.
Fifteenth of October, sir; to the 1st of--uh----
Mr. Jenner.
November?
Mr. Hutchison.
November Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And it was not in the month of November?
Mr. Hutchison.
No, sir; no, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you have a recollection of having been interviewed by a representative of the FBI----
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir; yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
On this occasion?
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And he questioned you about the incident of the evening----
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And substantially the things that I am examining you about?
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir; yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And did you give him, then, your very best recollection of what you recalled at that time?
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir; I sure did, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
And this interview was shortly after the assassination?
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
The 3d of December, 1963?
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, sir; it was.
Mr. Jenner.
How much milk did he buy on these morning occasions?
Mr. Hutchison.
A gallon.
Mr. Jenner.
A whole gallon?
Mr. Hutchison.
A whole gallon of milk; yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, the Internal Revenue Service might be interested in this ." Tell me again, and with prices to the extent you can recall, what his normal purchase was on the mornings that he came in.
Mr. Hutchison.
Well, the milk sells for 79 a gallon and the cinnamon rolls are 39. So, you see, that would be $1.18.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he ever buy any bread?
Mr. Hutchison.
No, sir; no, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you ever see him with any bills of large denomination?
Mr. Hutchison.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you ever see him with a--well, I don't know; maybe "large denomination," doesn't help us very much on these morning occasions, did he ever hand you a $5 or a $10 bill?
Mr. Hutchison.
No, sir; it was always a dollar and some change.
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
Mr. Hutchison.
Either a dollar and a half or a dollar and a quarter--or sometimes two dimes. He had almost the correct change.
Mr. Jenner.
Always?
Mr. Hutchison.
He was within a few cents--30 or 40 cents of his purchase.
Mr. Jenner.
However, on the evening occasion, when they bought--what expression did we use?
Mr. Hutchison.
Full line of groceries?
Mr. Jenner.
Did he have bills on that occasion?
Mr. Hutchison.
Sir, I didn't check him.
Mr. Jenner.
You didn't check him?
Mr. Hutchison.
I didn't check him; no, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
So, you don't know?
Mr. Hutchison.
I don't know, sir. I sure don't.
Mr. Jenner.
But your recollection-is that purchase would run somewhere between $15 and $207?
Mr. Hutchison.
Yes, Sir; $15 and $20.
