(Testimony of Garland Glenwill Slack)

Mr. Slack.
The fifth fellow from the left, because I saw the side of his face quite a bit at the rifle range. He has rather a long nose and long chin and a high forehead. In other words, that was the thing about the man that I would remember.
Mr. Liebeler.
Here is another picture. It is the same picture that I just showed you except that it has a green line over the fellow that you have indicated, does it not?
Mr. Slack.
Well, it is like this picture. Those are the front, no, he doesn't have a part. He didn't have that hair. I would remember his hair. And he had the hair that grew down his neck, all the way down into his jacket.
Mr. Liebeler.
You say this fellow here in the picture, the fifth fellow from the left is not the person?
Mr. Slack.
That is the fellow. As I remember, this is the fellow that is under the green mark. But seemed like he had more hair. You see, I shot in one chair. I looked at the side of that fellow quite a bit.
Mr. Liebeler.
You think the fellow you saw at the rifle range had more hair than the fellow with the green mark?
Mr. Slack.
Yes; of course, the wind blew and he was bareheaded. I guess he had a haircut in this picture here. He had quite a bit of hair on his back and on his neck like me. I need a haircut. But I remember, because on the television the hair was also down on his neck. Even more so than he shows in the picture there. Probably taken at different times and under different Just like this picture here, he is a pleasant looking fellow.
Mr. Liebeler.
This fellow looks more pleasant than the guy you saw?
Mr. Slack.
Yes; of course, at times, a fellow can be sorry on the world and still there would be a little fun come into him sometime. And he had big ears. His ears stood out, what I mean.
Mr. Liebeler.
The picture that you are looking at is 453-B, Pizzo's exhibit, that we have been referring to. I don't think I have any more questions, Mr. Slack. I want to thank you very much for coming in and cooperating with the way you have, I know we gave you very little time and we appreciate it very much.
Mr. Slack.
We had already forgotten everything about it, and we figured it was, well, it was just some unpleasant memory, and it couldn't have shocked me. Now this newspaper, Gruber, was a press, a Washington pressman, was he some of your bunch?
Mr. Liebeler.
What was his name?
Mr. Slack.
Gruber.
Mr. Liebeler.
What about him?
Mr. Slack.
He is the fellow that came to see me about 3 weeks ago. He called me three or four times and give me a lot of trouble, and I give him to understand that I didn't want to talk with him, because the newspaper had, I thought, made too big a show out of it.
And they used my name and used my address. They didn't put my picture but I have a good friend with the Times Herald, Mr. Albert Jackson, and I called Albert and I told him not to send his men because I was not talking to the newspaper. My phone was tapped and they came out the next day and everything that I told Albert, the newspaperman, and I told him that, because I didn't want it to get in the paper. He never put it in their paper. My own friend never got anything, but the news, they got it all.
Mr. Liebeler.
What made you think your telephone was tapped?
Mr. Slack.
I think it was because they had things in the paper.
Mr. Liebeler.
Who do you think tapped it, the newspaper people?
Mr. Slack.
The FBI and the Secret Service, they didn't tap it. They don't do things like that.
Mr. Liebeler.
The Secret Service doesn't?
Mr. Slack.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
What about the FBI?
Mr. Slack.
They said they did not, and I blamed it on the newspaper. And they came and made a television picture of me and gave me an interview. And I wanted to know what identification they had and who they were with, and
