Mr. Hubert.

Those buildings annex, actually, not two separate buildings?

Mr. Servance.

Some connections.

Mr. Hubert.

Well, will you--we'll go into that in a minute. How long have you been so occupied, sir?

How long have you been head porter out there?

Mr. Servance.

Well, I would presume about 15 years. I was head porter before I come down there with some other part of the city. I was with the water department.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, I am marking a document which purports to be a report of an interview with you by FBI Agent Jack Peden, as follows: "Dallas, Texas, April 1, 1964, Exhibit 5131, deposition of John O. Servance," and I am signing my name on this document which is a one-page document, and so that the record may show that we are both speaking about the same document would you place your name below mine on that document, sir? You may use this pen.

Mr. Servance.

Below yours?

Mr. Hubert.

Well, just anywhere there to the side.

Mr. Servance.

All right.

Mr. Hubert.

Mr. Servance, have you read this document?

Mr. Servance.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Exhibit 5131, which you have just signed?

Mr. Servance.

I read it.

Mr. Hubert.

Is it correct and true?

Mr. Servance.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Any alterations or modifications that you wish to make to it?

Mr. Servance.

No, it isn't. Now, I mean, as far as I understood it. As far as I could remember, that is true.

Mr. Hubert.

Well, now, you have just read it, haven't you?

Mr. Servance.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

And it seems to be correct?

Mr. Servance.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, do you know Alfreadia Riggs?

Mr. Servance.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

And Henry Fuqua?

Mr. Servance.

Hal Fuqua.

Mr. Hubert.

Hal Fuqua, is it?

Mr. Servance.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you see them in the basement that day?

Mr. Servance.

I saw them in the basement.

Mr. Hubert.

And all of you were sent up the service elevator by the police to the first floor of the municipal building, is that right?

Mr. Servance.

That's right, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

It iS true that at one time during the course of the morning there you opened the inside door on the Commerce Street entrance of the municipal building so.you all could look out?
