(Testimony of Charles Steele, Jr. Hall)
Mr. Steele.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
Was he there the day that you were passing out this literature?
Mr. Steele.
Not that I could see at the time, but from previous pictures that I have seen, he apparently was though.
Mr. Jenner.
Previous pictures that you have seen from whom?
Mr. Steele.
The FBI and the Secret Service.
Mr. Jenner.
Are you shown on any of these pictures now?
Mr. Steele.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
You are?
Mr. Steele.
Oh, am I shown?
Mr. Jenner.
Yes.
Mr. Steele.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you see yourself on any of these pictures?
Mr. Steele.
No, I don't; not on these.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you see anybody else on those pictures that you now recognize as having been present on the first occasion, on the occasion when you were there, other than Lee Harvey Oswald?
Mr. Steele.
That I remember; no.
Mr. Jenner.
No one else?
Mr. Steele.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
There was no incident on the day that you passed out this literature?
Mr. Steele.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
And the police didn't come?
Mr. Steele.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
When was that, August 16?
Mr. Steele.
I can't give the date on that; I don't know.
Mr. Jenner.
It was in August though, wasn't it?
Mrs. Steele.
It was in August all right, but I don't remember the exact date.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you remember that some people were taking pictures?
Mr. Steele.
Yes; I do.
Mr. Jenner.
And you remember your girl friend calling you that evening and saying you were on television?
Mr. Steele.
Yes; she came over.
Mr. Jenner.
She came over to your place?
Mr. Steele.
Yes, sir. I remember now; she came over.
Mr. Jenner.
Where were you then?
Mr. Steele.
I was at work.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you call the FBI then?
Mr. Steele.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And the FBI said what?
Mr. Steele.
I had asked them about getting my picture off of television, and they said they couldn't do anything about it, that there was nothing wrong with it--that it was news.
Mr. Jenner.
They couldn't interfere with the news media?
Mr. Steele.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
That's what they told you?
Mr. Steele.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you call the television stations?
Mr. Steele.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
What did you tell them?
Mr. Steele.
I asked them if they would take my picture off of the television screen. I told them who I was, and I told them about it, that I was the gentleman that had passed out the literature, and I told them that my father was with the sheriff's office, and it wouldn't be too good with him, and at the time didn't know what I was passing out, until I had seen the cameras, and then looked at them, and they said, "Well, all right then," and it never came on television anymore, until the President's death.
Mr. Jenner.
Describe this man who came along with Oswald.
