(Testimony of G. E. Worley)
Actually, this is a Xerox copy of what would appear to be another copy of an actual letter which purports to bear your signature? Mr. WORLEY. Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
I have marked this, "Dallas, Tex., Mr. Worley, 3-26-64, Exhibit 5048." Now, is there some correction or addition or change that you would make in what has been marked Exhibit 5047, the FBI interview?
Mr. Worley.
Well, right here, if you will see it says
Mr. Griffin.
You want to read it so we will get it in the record?
Mr. Worley.
All right. "Worley reported to Central Police Station at 9 a.m. on November the 24th, 1963, and he was assigned by the regular police sergeant.', That is wrong.
Mr. Griffin.
All right, who assigned you?
Mr. Worley.
Reserve police sergeant.
Mr. Griffin.
What was his name?
Mr. Worley.
Croy. That has "Regular Police Sergeant Troy".
Mr. Griffin.
Do you want to take my pen and correct it? Write in what you think is necessary to correct it.
Mr. Worley.
[Makes correction.] I tell you, this is more of an accurate description of what I did.
Mr. Griffin.
This Exhibit 5048?
Mr. Worley.
Right. Not this one, because
Mr. Griffin.
The letter is more accurate than the FBI report?
Mr. Worley.
Yes; that tells exactly from the time I arrived at the police station to the time I left, and every move that I made in between.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, we are talking about Exhibit 5048, which is your letter of November 26, 1963, to Chief Curry. Are there any corrections or changes that you would make, or additions that you would make in that statement, that you can think of right now?
Mr. Worley.
Yes; it states that I met Jack Ruby sometime when working with squad 105, 5 or 6 months ago. That was over a year ago instead of 5 or 6 months.
Mr. Griffin.
All right. Can you tell us how it is that you now think it was over a year ago ? What is the basis for that change ?
Mr. Worley.
Well, the officer that I worked with on that beat, I talked to after that, and he hadn't worked that squad in over a year, and it didn't seem like as long to me.
Mr. Griffin.
Who is that officer?
Mr. Worley.
Regular Officer J. R. Sales.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, did you check? Is there any police record made of when you work a particular beat?
Mr. Worley.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Have you checked those records to be to determine when it would have been that you last worked with that officer?
Mr. Worley.
No; I haven't.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you ask him whether he had checked the records to determine that?
Mr. Worley.
No; but the reason that I imagine he stated that is because he is working another squad now and he knew that it had been approximately over a year.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, I want you to feel free to make any changes that you want in here, but I might suggest, and please understand that I want you to if you don't agree with it, I don't want you to do it any other way, but it seems to me from what you have said that an accurate statement would include something to the effect that "I am not sure now of when it was, because I talked with the officer and he said such and such, but I have not checked my records, and I don't know if he has."
Now, I would suggest that you make some change like that, if you are agreeable.
Mr. Worley.
Well, that .is agreeable with me, because I didn't check the records to see exactly when the last time I worked on that district. But I did talk to the regular officer and he said that he hadn't worked that district in over a year, so one way or the other.
