Mr. Liebeler.

we are marking these at the request of Mr. Hubert, who has the responsibility for area 5 of the investigation, relating to Mr. Ruby.
I have marked the document referred to as Exhibit 5118 on the deposition of Mr. W. W. Semingsen, March 31, 1964, in Dallas, Tex., and have initialed it, and ask you to initial it also, if you would, Mr. Semingsen.

Mr. Semingsen.

[Initials.]

Mr. Liebeler.

The next document forming a part of attachment No. 1 to Exhibit 3001, is what, Mr. Semingsen?

Mr. Semingsen.

It is the duplicate or carbon copy of the original money order receipt given to Jack Ruby at the time he filed the money order application. The original of this receipt was given to Mr. Ruby and found in his possession by the police at the time of his arrest.

Mr. Liebeler.

We will mark the copy which you have Just described as Exhibit '5119 on the deposition of Mr. W. W. Semingsen, Dallas, Tex., March 31, 1964. [Also introduced as Lane Exhibits Nos. 5118 and 5119.]
I have initialed the copy which you have just described, and ask that you also initial it, please.

Mr. Semingsen.

[Initials.] I have so done.

Mr. Liebeler.

The next document forming a part of attachment No. 1 to Exhibit 3001, is what, sir?

Mr. Semingsen.

This is the original money order receipt, showing the signature of the money order payable to Karen Bennett at Fort Worth, Text, on November 24, 1963.

Mr. Liebeler.

I have marked the third document to which we just referred as Exhibit 5120 on the deposition of Mr. W. W. Semingsen, Dallas, Tex., March 31, 1964, and have initialed it. I notice that you have already initialed that exhibit; is that not correct, Mr. Semingsen?

Mr. Semingsen.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

The next document forming a part of attachment No. 1 to Exhibit 3001, is what, sir?

Mr. Semingsen.

That is a copy of the original money order message received in Fort Worth authorizing the payment of the money to the payee.

Mr. Liebeler.

We will mark that telegram as 5121 on the deposition of Mr. W. W. Semingsen, Dallas, Tex., March 31, 1964. I have initialed it and ask you, sir,- to do the same. [Also introduced as Strong Exhibits Nos. 5120 and 5121.]

Mr. Semingsen.

[Initials.] And I have so done.

Mr. Liebeler.

On page 1 of your memorandum, Exhibit 3001, you indicate that a search of your records in the Dallas, Tex., office show that no money orders payable to Lee Harvey Oswald or his aliases, O. H. Lee or Alek James Hidell, went through that office during the period June through November 1963; is that correct?

Mr. Semingsen.

That is correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

Would you tell us how you came to that conclusion?

Mr. Semingsen.

A search was made of our "Received money order file" for the period mentioned by supervisory employees, and no "Received money orders" were found. The "Received money orders" are filed in date order.

Mr. Liebeler.

Is it a fact, Mr. Semingsen, that the receiving office of your company--in this case, Dallas, Tex.--actually keeps records showing the receipt of money orders-payable to any person who received money orders through that office?

Mr. Semingsen.

Yes; that's correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

Who issued instructions that this search be made?

Mr. Semingsen.

I issued the instructions at the request of the FBI.

Mr. Liebeler.

Are you personally satisfied that the search was carried out in a thorough manner and that there are in fact no records in the possession of the Western Union Telegraph Co. that would indicate that any money orders payable in the names mentioned above during the period June through November 1963, exist?

Mr. Semingsen.

I am satisfied that a very thorough search was made by competent supervisory personnel who are familiar with our records.

Mr. Liebeler.

And you are in fact satisfied that there are no records in the -possession of your company that would indicate that money order telegrams
