Warren Commission Hearings: Vol. XIII - Page 196« Previous | Next »

(Testimony of Sidney , Jr. Evans)

Mr. Hubert.
Let me state this to you. Under the rules adopted by the Commission, you are entitled to a 3-day written notice prior to the taking of the deposition, and it was sent out by mail, but apparently hasn't reached you. The rules of the Commission also provide that you can waive that notice if you want to do so, and I will ask you now if you are willing to waive that 3-day notice and let us take your deposition?
Mr. Evans.
It don't matter. I want to get it over with. I done lost too much already.
Mr. Hubert.
All right, would you stand and raise your right hand so that I can administer the oath? Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Mr. Evans.
I do.
Mr. Hubert.
Will you please state your name, Mr. Evans.
Mr. Evans.
Sidney Evans, Jr.
Mr. Hubert.
And your age?
Mr. Evans.
Thirty-seven, I think.
Mr. Hubert.

Mr. Evans.
Retired?
Mr. Hubert.
Where do you live?
Mr. Evans.
2205 Marvel. M-a-r-v-e-1.
Mr. Hubert.

Mr. Hubert.
Irving, Tex.?
Mr. Evans.
Uh-huh, that is----
Mr. Hubert.
What is your occupation, sir?
Mr. Evans.
Line driver for Red Ball Motor Freight.
Mr. Hubert.
How long have you been so employed?
Mr. Evans.
Since 1958.
Mr. Hubert.
All right.
Mr. Evans.
Six years.
Mr. Hubert.
In November of 1963, where did you live?
Mr. Evans.
My home is in Houston, but I was still at the Marsalis Apartments.
Mr. Hubert.
Where is that located, that Marsalis Apartments?
Mr. Evans.
232 Ewing, I believe, or, I don't know.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you say 223 South Ewing Street?
Mr. Evans.
Well, I guess.
Mr. Hubert.
What apartment did you have?
Mr. Evans.
204.
Mr. Hubert.
And I think you said you shared that with somebody?
Mr. Evans.
Two other drivers.
Mr. Hubert.
Who are they?
Mr. Evans.
Jack Scritchfield and Malcom Slaughter.
Mr. Hubert.
HOw long had you been living there with these men, sharing that apartment?
Mr. Evans.
Well, I believe I only stayed there 2 months.
Mr. Hubert.
In other words, it was a stopoff place on your runs that you make as a driver, is that right?
Mr. Evans.
Well, you see, they have a bunkhouse, and we were staying in the bunkhouse, but the company said that we can't do that no more, and our families were still in Houston, so, we had to have a place to sleep when we were in a town, and sometimes wouldn't be there 1 day a week.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you estimate that you actually shared this apartment with these other two gentlemen for about 2 months?
Mr. Evans.
Two months.
Mr. Hubert.
And how often, or how many times, put it that way, during those 2 months prior to November 24, 1963, did you actually stay overnight or stay in the daytime in this apartment?
Mr. Evans.
I don't believe it was once a week.
Mr. Hubert.
About once a week? So, about eight or nine times, you think, during this period?
Mr. Evans.
Something like that. About the only time we would be there
