(Testimony of Aubrey Lewis Lee)
Mr. Lewis.
The fellow had a Spanish accent.
Mr. Hubert.
He was accompanied by the boy with a Spanish accent?
Mr. Lewis.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you recall anything else that happened?
Mr. Lewis.
No, sir; I wasn't paying much attention to him.
Mr. Hubert.
I don't mean the exact conversation, but just the general situation.
Mr. Lewis.
No; I wouldn't know.
Mr. Hubert.
How would you describe the person of Spanish accent insofar as build and size and weight?
Mr. Lewis.
He was of short and slender build.
Mr. Hubert.
Shorter than the payee?
Mr. Lewis.
About the same.
Mr. Hubert.
About the same weight?
Mr. Lewis.
Approximately, yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you remember how he was dressed?
Mr. Lewis.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you recall how much the money order was for?
Mr. Lewis.
No; it was for a small amount. I don't recall the exact amount.
Mr. Hubert.
You had never had any other business with this payee before?
Mr. Lewis.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
You didn't have any afterward?
Mr. Lewis.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
And Hamblen did not mention to you that he had had any before?
Mr. Lewis.
No, sir. The first time I -knew about that was when we went into our district manager's office.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, I show you a picture which I have marked for identification on the back thereof on the lower right-hand corner the following words: "Dallas, Tex., July 14, 1964, Exhibit No. 1 of Aubrey L. Lewis." I ask you if this picture resembles the person that you have been testifying about as the payee on the occasion you have mentioned?
Mr. Lewis.
I couldn't say if it resembled him.
Mr. Hubert.
You have no recollection whether it looks like him at all?
Mr. Lewis.
I sure don't.
Mr. Hubert.
You said he had dark hair?
Mr. LEWIS, That is true. He had dark hair, but as far as any features, I don't remember the eyes or nose or anything. I don't recall them.
Mr. Hubert.
You don't recall, as I understand from your statement, that the man's name was Oswald?
.Mr. LEWIS. No, sir; I do not recall that.
Mr. Hubert.
You are familiar with the fact that Mr. Hamblen says he was Oswald?
Mr. Lewis.
Yes; I am familiar with that.
Mr. Hubert.
But you don't remember?
Mr. Lewis.
I don't remember.
Mr. Hubert.
You cannot tell us now whether or not the picture shown in Exhibit No. 1, which in fact is a picture of Lee Harvey Oswald, was the man you have been testifying about as the payee of that money order? Mr. LEWIS. I couldn't say for sure.
Mr. Hubert.
Can you say for sure either way that it was or it was not?
Mr. Lewis.
No I can't be sure.
Mr. Hubert.
In other words, it could be and it could not be?
Mr. Lewis.
Yes, sir; it could be and it couldn't be. I have no way of knowing.
Mr. Hubert.
You will not say it was not that man?
Mr. Lewis.
I wouldn't say it wasn't, but I wouldn't say it was, because it could be. I don't know.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you recall making any comments to Mr. Hamblen on the occasion that you have been testifying about, and after this payee had left, that you would like to punch the heads of people of this character?
Mr. Lewis.
Yes; I made that statement.
Mr. Hubert.
You made that statement to Mr. Hamblen?
