(Testimony of William Kirk Stuckey)

Mr. Stuckey.
long time just out of fear somebody might make a mistake and it would be erased.
Mr. Jenner.
You have insured against that by your disk, a platter?
Mr. Stuckey.
That is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
Mr. Stuckey, was a recording made on audio tape of the 37-minute interview that you had with Mr. Oswald on Monday, the 17th of August?
Mr. Stuckey.
Yes; I have made one record which is strictly for my own use.
Mr. Jenner.
You say you made it?
Mr. Stuckey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
I take it it was made for you by somebody?
Mr. Stuckey.
It was made for me by Cosimo's Recording Studio in New Orleans.
Mr. Jenner.
From what source was the tape made by the commercial company you have named?
Mr. Stuckey.
From--
Mr. Jenner.
What was used to make the tape? Did you have a tape and you made a copy of the tape?
Mr. Stuckey.
No; they took my original tape and from that they made the disc.
Mr. Jenner.
I see. We are a little confused here. You have an audio tape 37-minute interview, do you?
Mr. Stuckey.
Yes; I do.
Mr. Jenner.
And you also have a wax disk?
Mr. Stuckey.
That is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
It is the wax disk which is the disk recording from the original tape?
Mr. Stuckey.
That is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
And it is the wax disk that was made by the commercial people you have named?
Mr. Stuckey.
True.
Mr. Jenner.
What I'm getting at, Mr. Stuckey, was an audio tape transcript made of your interview with him on the 17th of August 1963?
Mr. Stuckey.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Who made the original tape?
Mr. Stuckey.
The original tape was made by WDSU radio in the studios of WDSU, and the engineer doing the taping was Mr. Al Campin.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you know what happened to that original tape?
Mr. Stuckey.
Yes; I have it; it is in my possession.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you bring it with you today?
Mr. Stuckey.
No; this is a copy which you have in your hand.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you bring a copy of that tape, which is Stuckey Exhibit No. 4?
Mr. Stuckey.
That is correct?
Mr. Jenner.
From what source did you obtain the original tape?
Mr. Stuckey.
From WDSU. When the management of WDSU decided not to run that tape but instead to have the debate, the second show, then they gave me the tape.
Mr. Jenner.
What is now marked as Stuckey Exhibit No. 4 is a reproduction on tape of the original tape?
Mr. Stuckey.
That is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
Who made the reproduction which is Stuckey Exhibit No. 4?
Mr. Stuckey.
Cosimo's Recording Studio.
Mr. Jenner.
Where are they located? Do you happen offhand to recall the address?
Mr. Stuckey.
It is on Governor Nichol's Street in the 500 block.
Mr. Jenner.
Would you tell us the full name of that company?
Mr. Stuckey.
Yes; Cosimo's Recording Studio, I believe it is.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you have more than one tape reproduction made of that?
Mr. Stuckey.
Yes; I have had--how many do I have? I have two copies and the record in addition to the original tape, so there are four pieces of, four items involved.
