(Testimony of John L. Daniels)
Mr. Hubert.
Now, when the detectives came they could open the car? They didn't need a key for that, did they?
Mr. Daniels.
No, sir; they didn't.
Mr. Hubert.
Did they get a key from anybody?
Mr. Daniels.
I don't know if the key ever come. I think one of them had a key fit it or something.
Mr. Hubert.
Fit what?
Mr. Daniels.
They unlocked the trunk before the man got back with the key or something. I could tell, so they said, "We'll take the car. Call for the dog wagon to come and get the dog." Then they decided they'd take the car on down to the pound, the city pound.
Mr. Hubert.
And the dog was taken?
Mr. Daniels.
Take the dog with them.
Mr. Hubert.
They took the dog with them?
Mr. Daniels.
That's right.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, about how long after you got to work did the detectives come to the car?
Mr. Daniels.
Oh, in maybe an hour.
Mr. Hubert.
An hour?
Mr. Daniels.
Yes, sir; something like that.
Mr. Hubert.
So, you think they got there about 1 o'clock?
Mr. Daniels.
I don't know. Somewhere could have been a little later than that when they got there.
Mr. Hubert.
What time was it when they left with the car?
Mr. Daniels.
I don't know. The boy didn't punch the ticket out. He just picked it off, because they didn't pay the ticket out. I don't know what time, exactly.
Mr. Hubert.
How long were the detectives there from the time they first came until they left?
Mr. Daniels.
They stayed there about 5 or 10 minutes, and then the key, one of them had a key fit it. Must have been his car keys or something, and they left with the car.
Mr. Hubert.
You don't know where they found that car key that fit the car, do you?
Mr. Daniels.
No; I really don't know, because I walked back on over there. They raised the trunk up and looked in it.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you look in the trunk?
Mr. Daniels.
When they stared looking in the trunk they said, "Well, we'd better take the car on over to the pound." And searched the car there.
Mr. Hubert.
They did not take anything out of the car at that time?
Mr. Daniels.
Didn't take anything out of the car.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you know this man named Lee Harvey Oswald?
Mr. Daniels.
No, sir; sure didn't.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you know whether Mr. Ruby had ever parked his car there before?
Mr. Daniels.
No; I don't.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you recognize the car?
Mr. Daniels.
No, sir; sure didn't.
Mr. Hubert.
How long have you been working for the Adolphus Garage?
Mr. Daniels.
Been down there about a month now.
Mr. Hubert.
Mr. Daniels, do you know anything that might throw any light on the general inquiry?
Mr. Daniels.
No, sir; that's all I know.
Mr. Hubert.
Have you been interviewed by any member of the Commission's staff before this deposition?
Mr. Daniels.
Yes; one or two fellows, say the FBI, and talked to me.
Mr. Hubert.
They are members of the FBI, but I am talking about persons who identified themselves as members of the staff of the President's Commission?
Mr. Daniels.
No, sir; I don't
Mr. Hubert.
You have not been interviewed, for example, by me before this deposition?
