Mr. Bogard.

Yes, sir; just one---one week before two weeks before.

Mr. Ball.

About what date? Do you remember?

Mr. Bogard.

Ninth day of November, I think it was, to be exact.

Mr. Ball.

1963?

Mr. Bogard.

1963.

Mr. Ball.

What day of the week was that?

Mr. Bogard.

That was on a Saturday.

Mr. Ball.

When was it? In the morning, or afternoon?

Mr. Bogard.

Afternoon.

Mr. Ball.

About what time?

Mr. Bogard.

I think it was around 1:30 or 2 o'clock, as I was leaving town shortly after I gave the demonstration in the automobile and I was in a hurry.

Mr. Ball.

Tell me just what happened there? Tell me the incident that you remember and that you related to the Federal----

Mr. Bogard.

A gentleman walked in the door and walked up and introduced himself to me, and tells me he wants to look at a car. I show him a car on the showroom floor, and take him for a ride out Stemmons Expressway and. back, and he was driving at 60 to 70 miles an hour and came back to the showroom. And I made some figures, and he told me that he wasn't ready to buy, that he would be in a couple or 3 weeks, that he had some money coming in. And when he finally started to leave I got his name and wrote it on the back of one of my business cards, and never heard from the man any more. And the day that the President was shot, when I heard that-- they had the radio on in the showroom, and when I heard the name, that he had shot a policeman over in Oak Cliff, I pulled out some business cards that I had wrote his name on the back on, and said, "He won't be a prospect any more because he is going to jail," and ripped the card up.

Mr. Ball.

Threw it away?

Mr. Bogard.

Threw it away.

Mr. Ball.

And when the FBI agent came to see you, the card had already been thrown away?

Mr. Bogard.

Yes, sir; I tore it up that very same day.

Mr. Ball.

This was Friday the 22d?

Mr. Bogard.

Yes, sir; the day I heard that Kennedy had been killed. I hadn't heard that the President had been killed; just heard a policeman had been shot and that's when I tore up the card and said, "He won't want to buy a car."

Mr. Ball.

Now, what kind of a looking man was he, or could you describe him?

Mr. Bogard.

I can tell you the truth, I have already forgotten what he actually looked like. I identified him as in pictures, but just to tell you what he looked like that day, I don't remember.

Mr. Ball.

You don't have a memory of it?

Mr. Bogard.

No, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Was he tall, or short?

Mr. Bogard.

About medium build, I'd say.

Mr. Ball.

Do you remember what name he gave you?

Mr. Bogard.

Gave me Lee Oswald.

Mr. Ball.

Did he give you that when he first introduced----

Mr. Bogard.

He give me that when he started to leave.

Mr. Ball.

Oh, gave you that when he started to leave?

Mr. Bogard.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

And didn't give you any name when he first introduced himself?

Mr. Bogard.

No, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Did he tell you what kind of a car he wanted?

Mr. Bogard.

Yes, sir; wanted a Caliente, two-door hardtop.

Mr. Ball.

What kind of make is that?

Mr. Bogard.

Mercury Comet.

Mr. Ball.

And did you show him one?

Mr. Bogard.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

What color did you show him?

Mr. Bogard.

Red.

Mr. Ball.

You took a ride with him?
