(Testimony of Dr. Homer Wood)Dr. WOOD. I said I think I should report that to either the Dallas police or FBI. Dr. WOOD. I did not until the following Monday. On Sunday, the next morning--this was Saturday night-on Sunday morning we went to church and my wife said after church, let's go down and look at the place where the President was assassinated. We haven't been down, so we went down there and we looked over the area and we walked back to our car, and I would say it was between 12 and I o'clock, and I turned on the radio in the car and it said Oswald had been shot. So I said to my wife, well, I don't know whether it will do any good now to turn it in or not, and I didn't turn it in. But later on, on Monday I had a fellow in my office who works for the State comptroller's office and told him about this incident and he said, "Dr. Wood, I certainly would turn it in. Any thing that you could do will help." So after he left the office, I called the FBI and told them I thought I had some information that might be of importance to them concerning the Oswald case, and they talked to me, and this was on Monday. And told them I was leaving town. I think I told them, I am not positive, but we went out, me and my wife and son went out to Uvalde deer hunting, and while we were out there--this was on, we went out Tuesday, and we were there Wednesday night, and Will Fritz of the Dallas police force called me and questioned me about my son and me and were we sure, and I said we were fairly sure that it was, and he wanted to know when we were coming back, and I said that me and my wife were thinking about going to Mexico so it will be Sunday before we return. And he said, when you return would you please call me. Well, that was on the following Monday, and I called Will Fritz and he had two men from homicide come out and talk to me. And on my lunch hour, two FBI agents came out and talked with me. Dr. WOOD. It was on Monday. I believe. I am fairly sure it was on because I called as soon as I came back, and I recall that when I called, there was the homicide, two officers from Will Fritz' office came, and as well as I remember, they called my office girl, the FBI called my office girl and asked could they come out to see me, and they came out around my lunch hour, and I talked to the FBI at that time. Dr. WOOD. I don't remember the agents, sure don't. Dr. WOOD, I don't think I could identify it. Dr. WOOD. Both the Dallas police and the FBI, I think, showed me the same photograph that each showed me as they came out. Dr. WOOD. I put it in this category that I couldn't be absolutely positive, but in my mind I was positive that it was Oswald that I saw out at the rifle range. Dr. WOOD. He said they did; yes, sir. Dr. WOOD. They interviewed my son at school. The Secret Service came out to his school, I think, a couple of times to see him,. and an officer from Will Fritz' office came out once or twice to school to see him, and the FBI
