Mr. Liebeler.
You must have talked to Philip about Oswald after the assassination.
Mr. Blalock.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you recall to each other and discuss with each other the meeting that you had with Oswald in the store on Decatur Street at that time?
Mr. Blalock.
I think I was the one that recognized him. I called it to Philip's attention, and the next day at school he said, "Yes, that is the man we met at the store." I recognized Oswald late one night when I was just about going to bed. I told my Daddy, "I went uptown and met that man up there."
Mr. Liebeler.
This was shortly after the assassination?
Mr. Blalock.
Yes; during the time they didn't have any shows but the funeral and----
Mr. Liebeler.
[Exhibiting photograph to witness.] Let me show you a picture that has been marked as Exhibit I to the affidavit of Jesse J. Garner taken at New Orleans, April 6, 1964, and I ask you if you recognize the individual portrayed in that picture.
Mr. Blalock.
Yes, sir; I recognize him.
Mr. Liebeler.
And do you recognize him as the man you met in the store that day?
Mr. Blalock.
Yes, sir; Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. Liebeler.
Can you think of anything else now about your contact with Oswald, or can you think of anything else that you know about him that I haven't asked you about and you think the Commission should know about?
Mr. Blalock.
I can't think of anything else.
Mr. Liebeler.
I don't have any other questions. If you can't think of anything else, we will terminate the deposition. On behalf of the Commission, I want to thank you very much.

Mr. Lee.
