So, just initial the change then and the word "east," which we encircled and changed to "south," and Captain Jones and myself are initialling the change.
Captain JONES. Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Other than that, do you have any changes that should be made?
Captain JONES. Let that stand.

Mr. Hubert.

Then this document which I have identified as Exhibit 5056, being the report by the FBI, specifically by Agents Edward Mabey and Kenneth Hughes [spelling] H-u-g-h-e-s, of an interview with you, apparently, on. December 2, 1963, and ask you if you have any corrections to make as to that?
Captain JONES. Yes, sir; there are one or two changes that I would like to make in that

Mr. Hubert.

All right.
Captain JONES. Let's see. Can I see it Just one moment, sir?

Mr. Hubert.

Sure.
Captain JONES. All right. I would like to make the following changes. At the bottom of page 1, of Exhibit--that is 5056, I believe?

Mr. Hubert.

That's right.
Captain JONES. The last sentence that reads, "Jones assisted in holding back the press. line during the process, and gave instructions to all officers near the jail office and the door to allow no one in the area from the Jail to the automobile, down the route the prisoner was to take."

Mr. Hubert.

Now, what is your comment?
Captain JONES. The comment is that the sentence should have read, "Jones assisted holding back the press lines through the process of moving the automobile onto the ramp." The rest of the sentence refers back to Just prior to that when the instructions had been given to keep those things clear. Immediately following the clearing of the Jail office is when I gave those instructions at that time, to hold the people back and get those I did not have time or the opportunity, and did not turn at that time and tell everybody that we were trying to get the car back up into position.

Mr. Hubert.

Have you any change or comments to make upon the document 5056?
Captain JONES. Yes, sir; on page 2, of this same exhibit.

Mr. Hubert.

Off the record. (Discussion off the record.)

Mr. Hubert.

Now, back on the record.
Captain JONES. Beginning with the first complete paragraph that says, "Jones was walking up the Commerce Street ramp when he heard from behind him, Here he comes, from an unidentified individual," and on that, there is only one change.
Whereas, Jones was walking toward the Commerce Street ramp instead of up it, now.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, you were not
Captain JONES. In other words, I was not up on the rise itself. I was walking toward it.

Mr. Hubert.

Heading from what direction?
Captain JONES. From the general area in front of the Jail office door, out in the fiat area. The ramps come down like [indicating] straighten out. The jail is here [indicating].

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, what you wish to point out is that the Commerce Street ramp takes an upturn about haft way up the ramp?
Captain JONES. Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

And that you want to indicate that you had not reached the up-rise?
Captain JONES. No, sir; I had not.

Mr. Hubert.

But, you were in the ramp that runs between Main and Commerce, but on the level part?
Captain JONES. On the level part, and walking toward the rise.
