(Testimony of Charles Steele, Jr. Hall)
Mr. Jenner.
Do you recall some pictures being taken during that time you were passing out this literature?
Mr. Steele.
At the time, when I noticed the cameras, that's when I looked down at the leaflets to see what I was passing out.
Mr. Jenner.
That's when you really took an interest in these leaflets?
Mr. Steele.
Yes. That's when I looked at one of them and saw what it was.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you go and call the TV station?
Mr. Steele.
Yes; I called three of them. One of them didn't know anything about it.
Mr. Jenner.
Why did you call the TV stations?
Mr. Steele.
To get my picture off of the television.
Mr. Jenner.
Had you told your father in the meantime?
Mr. Steele.
No; I called him, but they were out to dinner. They had gone to Camp Leroy Johnson, I believe.
Mr. Jenner.
Was there any trouble during the time you were passing out these leaflets?
Mr. Steele.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
Nobody tried to interfere with your passing them out?
Mr. Steele.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
Nobody was arrested?
Mr. Steele.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
The police didn't come?
Mr. Steele.
No. I think you are talking about a different occasion now. I didn't know anything about that at the time, not until I was in the Federal Building, and they said something about it.
Mr. Jenner.
You say somebody else was helping pass out these leaflets?
Mr. Steele.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
Was it somebody that walked up with Oswald?
Mr. Steele.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
But when you arrived on the scene, he was not there, is that right?
Mr. Steele.
Do you mean Oswald?
Mr. Jenner.
Yes; and this man that walked up with him.
Mr. Steele.
No; I waited for him.
Mr. Jenner.
For Oswald?
Mr. Steele.
Yes; I waited for him maybe a minute, or a few seconds--I don't know how long it was, but it wasn't long.
Mr. Jenner.
And then he came?
Mr. Steele.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And somebody was accompanying him?
Mr. Steele.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you know that man?
Mr. Steele.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
Was he introduced to you?
Mr. Steele.
He was introduced to me, but I don't remember him.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you eventually look at these leaflets?
Mr. Steele.
Yes; after a few minutes. When I saw the cameras, I got suspicious then and looked at one of them.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you have two supplies of these leaflets?
Mr. Steele.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Tell me the circumstances. About how many had you given out at the time you quit?
Mr. Steele.
I had given out one supply and had gone back, and he had handed me some more, and at that time I seen the cameras, and that's when I looked to see what I was passing out.
Mr. Jenner.
Looked at these leaflets?
Mr. Steele.
Yes; at the leaflets.
Mr. Jenner.
All right, and then what happened?
Mr. Steele.
Well, it didn't sound right to me. I don't remember exactly what it said, but it said something about keeping hands off of Cuba, or something like that, and it just didn't sound right, and I knew that we were on bad terms with Cuba.
