(Testimony of Charles Steele, Jr. Hall)
Mr. Steele.
When he came up to me and asked me if I wanted to make a couple of dollars.
Mr. Jenner.
Tell me about that, when you first noticed him--when he approached you, and what he said. First, how was he dressed, if you remember?
Mr. Steele.
He had on a white shirt and tie and black pants, and he had a little brief case with him I think.
Mr. Jenner.
Probably containing a supply of these leaflets, do you think?
Mr. Steele.
Well, I don't know.
Mr. Jenner.
But he had a little briefcase that you saw, is that right?
Mr. Steele.
Yes; he had a briefcase with him.
Mr. Jenner.
Have you ever heard of the name Hidell--A. J. Hidell?
Mr. Steele.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
You have never heard of him?
Mr. Steele.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
What did the FBI say to you after you talked to them?
Mr. Steele.
That night?
Mr. Jenner.
Yes.
Mr. Steele.
They told me they couldn't do anything about keeping my picture off of television, and that the best thing for me to do would be to call the stations and tell them about it, and ask them to keep my picture off.
Mr. Jenner.
All right now; have you told me everything you know about this incident?
Mr. Steele.
As far as I remember.
Mr. Jenner.
And everything as far as your participation in this is concerned?
Mr. Steele.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Did Oswald ever contact you again to pass out any more leaflets?
Mr. Steele.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Did anyone ever contact you on his behalf and ask you to pass out leaflets at all?
Mr. Steele.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
I'm going to show you some pictures that are marked Pizzo Exhibits Nos. 453-A and 453--B, and Exhibit No. 1, Deposition, Carlos Bringuier, April 7, 1964. Disregarding the various arrows and marks, because they will serve only to confuse you, do you see the man known as Lee Harvey Oswald on any of those pictures?
Mr. Steele.
Yes; in all three.
Mr. Jenner.
All three?
Mr. Steele.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Point to the one on your left, which is 453-A, which is Oswald?
(The witness has pointed to the figure of a man over whose head there is a green cross.)
Mr. Jenner.
Now, the second picture, which is 453-B, do you see him on that one?
(The witness points to a man over whose head there is a green vertical stripe.)
Mr. Jenner.
And do you see him on the third picture, which is the one identified as Exhibit No. 1? Point to him.
(Let the record show that the witness has indicated by pointing the figure of the man identified as Lee Harvey Oswald.)
Mr. Jenner.
Put an "X" on his body, if you will.
(Let the record show that the witness has put a red "X" mark on the body of the man known to be Lee Harvey Oswald, and that he is the same man shown in each picture, and so identified by the witness.)
Mr. Jenner.
Now, taking a look at 453--A, you see there is an arrow over the head of a man to the left of the man over whose head you put the green cross?
Mr. Steele.
What's that?
Mr. Jenner.
You see that arrow over the head of the man to the left of the man with the green cross over his head?
Mr. Steele.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you recognize this man over the head of whom there is an arrow?
