(Testimony of Forrest V. Sorrels)
Mr. Sorrels.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you ever consult with any of your superior officers in your own service in regard to Wade's request that you testify?
Mr. Sorrels.
I told Inspector Kelley that I might get involved in this thing, and he said, "Well, if you are subpenaed you will just have to testify what you know about it."
Mr. Hubert.
You didn't make a written report?
Mr. Sorrels.
No, sir; not that I recall.
Mr. Hubert.
Was FBI Agent Hall present during the Fritz' interview?
Mr. Sorrels.
I couldn't say. I don't think I know Agent Hall if he walked in the door. I don't recall ever having met him.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you ever hear Ruby say, "You all won't believe this, but I didn't have this planned, and I couldn't have done it better if I had planned it," or something to that effect?
Mr. Sorrels.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
Now----
Mr. Sorrels.
I don't recall any statement like that.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, Mr. Stern is going to take over, and I am going to ask him to handle the identification of your notes.
(Mr. Hubert left. Mr. Stern requested Mr. Griffin to handle the identification of documents.)
Mr. Griffin.
Let me state that for the limited purpose of having Agent Sorrels identify three sets of documents I am going to ask a series of questions of Agent Sorrels.
Mr. Sorrels, I want to hand you a Xerox copy of a document which is a part of our files, and numbered Commission No. 354, and is your Secret Service serial 1,007, consisting of four pages, which you have previously identified, and Mr. Hubert has marked "Deposition of Forrest Sorrels, Washington, D.C., May 6, 1964," and signed Leon D. Hubert.
I have added the additional designation "Exhibit 1," on the first page of this four page exhibit. I want you to look at that and tell me if that is in fact the same exhibit you identified previously as I have described it.
Mr. Sorrels.
Yes, sir; it is.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, let me hand you what I have marked for the purpose of identification as deposition of Forrest Sorrels, May 6, 1964, Washington, D.C. This exhibit consists of four different pages which I have numbered consecu-tively Exhibits 2-A, 2- B, 2-C, and 2-D, and purports to be a Xerox copy of notes that you made of the interview that took place with Jack Ruby in Captain Fritz' office at 3:15 on November 24, 1963.
Would you examine Exhibits 2-A, 2-B, 2-C, and 2-D and compare them with the pages of your notebook which you have referred to previously in the deposition, and tell us if that is a true and exact copy of all of the notes that you have that pertain to the 3:15 interview with Jack Ruby?
Mr. Sorrels.
Yes, that is correct.
Mr. Griffin.
Let me hand you what I have marked for the purpose of identification deposition of Forrest Sorrels, May 6, 1964, Washington, D.C., which is a document consisting of three pages, which I have numbered consecutively Exhibit 3-A, Exhibit 3-B, Exhibit 3-C. This exhibit purports to be a Xerox copy of notes that you took at an interview with Jack Ruby in the fifth floor jail cell shortly after Ruby shot Lee Oswald on November 24. I want you to compare these exhibits to pages which you have testified to previously are in your notebook, and tell me if Exhibits 3-A, 3-B, and 3-C are true and exact copies of those pages which appear in your notebook?
Mr. Sorrels.
Yes, they are. But there is portions that do ,not pertain to the interview with Ruby in the Dallas 0ity Jail on the morning of November 24, 1963--but certain portions happen to be on the same page as the notes made at that time were made.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, directing your attention to Exhibit 3-A, would you te11 us if that portion which pertains to Ruby---the Ruby interview in the jail cell, and appears on that page, follows consecutively from some point on that page?
Mr. Sorrels.
Yes, from about the center of the page, below a wavy line drawn
