(Testimony of G. E. Worley)
Mr. Griffin.
anybody else say--prior to the time you drafted the letter, that he saw a man jump over the railing?
Mr. Worley.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you get any indication from Lieutenants Cornwall and Revill as to how they came to inquire about that particular man?
Mr. Worley.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Or about a man jumping over the railing?
Mr. Worley.
All they did is ask me. if I saw anybody come down that ramp in particular. And I stated that I had seen that man come down and jump over that rail there in the basement, and he was challenged by an officer and he identified himself and the officer let him go on.
Mr. Griffin.
Well, let me understand this then, I think your answer to me initially was that these two lieutenants asked you specifically if you saw a man jump over the railing?
Mr. Worley.
No; asked me if I saw anybody come down the ramp.
Mr. Griffin.
I see.
Mr. Worley.
And then I told them about the incident of the man jumping over the rail.
Mr. GRIFFIN,. Were you interviewed in. a room with other officers when Lieutenants Cornwall and Revill conducted this interview? Had a number of reserve officers been assembled together and they talked with them?
Mr. Worley.
No; I was told to report to that special service office at a certain time, and there was one other officer in the room when I came in.
Mr. Griffin.
Who was that officer?
Mr. Worley.
Lt. Ben McCoy.
Mr. Griffin.
Was he interviewed before you or after you ?
Mr. Worley.
He was just fixing to leave.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you have any conversation with him ?
Mr. Worley.
Spoke to him.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you mention anything about this man to him ?
Mr. Worley.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
About the man coming down the ramp?
Mr. Worley.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
When you finished with the interview, do you remember who the next man was behind you?
Mr. Worley.
No; I don't.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall what time in the morning, day or night, your interview was with Revill ?
Mr. Worley.
It was, oh, I believe, November 30 was on a Saturday that I came up there. It was a Saturday, because I was off. I was at home, and I came up there.
Mr. Griffin.
Was that in the morning or afternoon?
Mr. Worley.
It was in the morning.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall whether they had interviewed reserve officers, had set up appointments for reserve officers prior to Saturday ?
Mr. Worley.
I don't know.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you know the name of each reserve officer over here?
Mr. Worley.
No; I sure don't.
Mr. Griffin.
Have you seen that reserve officer since the time Oswald was shot by Ruby.
Mr. Worley.
No; I wouldn't recognize him if I saw him.
Mr. Griffin.
You wouldn't recognize him again when you saw him? I am talking about the reserve officer about whom you have placed a question mark on the chart. Do you have anything further that you want to tell the Commission that you think might be of any use to them ?
Mr. Worley.
I don't know of anything else that I could add to it.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, let me ask you this: Have you been interviewed by any member of the Commission staff prior to this deposition?
Mr. Worley.
No; I haven't.
Mr. Griffin.
I will make this one last general request. If anything comes to your attention which you believe could be of assistance to the Commission would
