Mr. Hubert.

This was told you at Parkland Hospital?
Mr. SOLOMON, Yes; this afternoon.

Mr. Hubert.

The 24th?

Mr. Solomon.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he indicate that he thought he was a reserve officer?

Mr. Solomon.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

That is why he told it to you, I suppose?

Mr. Solomon.

Yes; right. So I tried to find out who he was talking about, and he went with me and we couldn't find anybody that he thought he saw. And just from the way he talked to me, I just lost confidence in what he was trying to tell me. But I pursued it as far as I could, naturally, and asked him if he could identify some pictures, and I got all the pictures of the men that reported out there, and he picked out this man. And from there on, I didn't question him any further.

Mr. Hubert.

He did pick out the picture of W. J. Newman and he said that was the man?

Mr. Solomon.

He said he thought it was, it looked most like him. I don't think that it was, but it looked most like him.

Mr. Hubert.

Of course, Newman was subsequently

Mr. Solomon.

He was interviewed by Jack Revill.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you ever talk to Newman yourself about the matter?

Mr. Solomon.

No; I didn't engage him in any conversation about it because I knew they were going to and I just didn't want to get him upset or say anything. I didn't know what he wanted to exactly question him about.

Mr. Hubert.

So that you have not talked to Newman about what he might have seen or thought?

Mr. Solomon.

No.

Mr. Hubert.

Or what he reported or didn't report?

Mr. Solomon.

No; that is right.

Mr. Hubert.

Were you present at the time in the basement, at the time Oswald was killed?

Mr. Solomon.

I was not. I was at the county courthouse.

Mr. Hubert.

You were not in the basement itself?

Mr. Solomon.

No.

Mr. Hubert.

You don't know anything about what happened ? Mr. SOLOMON. They were anticipating trouble.

Mr. Hubert.

You were in the city hall?

Mr. Solomon.

No.

Mr. Hubert.

I thought you meant the Dallas Police Building?

Mr. Solomon.

No sir; that is the county courthouse.

Mr. Hubert.

I am going to mark for identification a document purporting to be a report of an interview with you, Captain Solomon, made by FBI Agents Hughes and Mabey on December 9, 1963, composed of two pages, and I am identifying it by marking along the right margin line, "Dallas, Texas, March 26, 1964, Exhibit 5106, Deposition of Capt. J. M. Solomon," and I am signing my name on the first page and putting on the second page my initials in the lower

right-hand corner. Captain Solomon, have you read this document?

Mr. Solomon.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

So that we may recognize that we are talking about the same thing, would you put your signature at the bottom and your initials on the second page.

Mr. Solomon.

I don't think that this is what I did awhile ago. You want my initials here?

Mr. Hubert.

Just write by the margin and initials by the second page.

Mr. Solomon.

[Signs and dates.]

Mr. Hubert.

Now, you have read that document, I think, Captain?

Mr. Solomon.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Is that a correct report of your interview with the FBI Agents?

Mr. Solomon.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Is there anything that is omitted or that you want to change, or modify?

Mr. Solomon.

No.
