this. At any rate, regardless of what happened, I don't know the exact sequence of events, the police arrived on the scene and took everybody down to the jail. Oswald was booked for disturbing the peace, and I think later fined $10, and let go. Well, this is what Bringuier told me in the bank.

Mr. Jenner.

I may assume up to this moment you had not seen anything in the newspapers on this subject?

Mr. Stuckey.

No; I hadn't. There wouldn't have been anything in the newspaper had it not been in my column, and my column at that time did not exist.

Mr. Jenner.

I see.

Mr. Stuckey.

So I mentioned to Bringuier that I was interested in locating this fellow and talking to him. Bringuier gave me his name.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you recall that this was the early part of August?

Mr. Stuckey.

Or the latter part of July, I am not really sure. It wasn't--I would say probably the early part of August. It was a Friday. I can tell you that.

Mr. Jenner.

It was August 9, 1963.

Mr. Stuckey.

That is quite possible. So I inquired as -to the name and the address of this fellow, and telephone, if any, and Bringuier said his name was Lee Oswald, and he lived on Magazine Street, somewhere in ,the 4000 block, I forget the exact .address, and he had no telephone. This was a Friday. My program is on a Saturday.
I decided that early the next morning I would go by this address and ask Oswald if he would appear on my program. So very early, it was about 8 o'clock the following--wait a minute, I am losing some chronology. This was not the next Saturday. Then some time elapsed, and, at any rate, it was August 17 when I went by his house. I forget now exactly why this time did elapse, but it did.

Mr. Jenner.

Had he again distributed hand, bills?

Mr. Stuckey.

To my knowledge; no. He may have. He may have. But, of course, I had no particular interest in it, and the papers were not carrying stories about it, and I, well, just had no contact with him at all.
I did not meet him until August 17, at which time I went by his house on Magazine Street to ask him to appear on my program. This was early in the morning, about 8 o'clock. I went early because I wanted to get him before he left.

Mr. Jenner.

This was a Saturday?

Mr. Stuckey.

It is a Saturday. I knocked on the door, and this young fellow came out, without a shirt. He had a pair of Marine Corps fatigue trousers on. I asked him, "Are you Lee Oswald ?" And he said, "Yes."
I introduced myself and I told him I would like to have him on my program that night. So he asked me in on the porch. This was a screened porch, and I had a very brief chat. He said he would ask me inside for some coffee but that his wife and his baby were sleeping so we had better talk on the porch.

Mr. Jenner.

Describe this Magazine Street place. Were you able to find it easily?

Mr. Stuckey.

Yes; no problem. It was on the side of the house or the entrance was on the side.

Mr. Jenner.

Was on the side and somewhat back from the front?

Mr. Stuckey.

Yes; it was facing the street; it wasn't facing the side of the property, but it was off set, to the rear.

Mr. Jenner.

Frame house?

Mr. Stuckey.

Yes; it was a frame house, as well as I recall.

Mr. Jenner.

Yes.

Mr. Stuckey.

So we had a few cursory remarks there about the organization. He showed me his membership card to the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, which was interesting, and .it identified him as the secretary of the New Orleans chapter of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, and it was signed by A. Hidell, president.

Mr. Jenner.

Was that president or secretary?

Mr. Stuckey.

President, A. Hidell. He was identified on the card. as I recall, as the secretary.

Mr. Jenner.

That is, Oswald?
