Mr. Senator.

same place twice. Who I was to fear I don't know, but Just the normal thing, I was afraid.

Mr. Hubert.

And you say you slept at different places every night?

Mr. Senator.

Yes; until I finally moved in with Jean.

Mr. Hubert.

What were some of the places you slept in?

Mr. Senator.

I Slept at Jim's a few times. I checked into an inexpensive hotel one time. I slept at another fellow's apartment one time and then I finally went to Jean's and stayed there, Jean Lauve. She said she would put me up because she and everybody else knew I was scared. You asked me what I feared. I don't know who I feared or what I feared but I just----

Mr. Hubert.

You honestly feared that somebody----

Mr. Senator.

I was Just in fear that is all which is a natural instinct in a situation such as this.

Mr. Hubert.

I am not saying it is not natural.

Mr. Senator.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

But I am trying to see if you had any idea in your own mind what you were afraid of. Now obviously you were afraid of being hurt.

Mr. Senator.

Certainly I was afraid.

Mr. Hubert.

Possibly being killed?

Mr. Senator.

Yes; now of who or what I don't know. It could be a crackpot. I don't know what it could be.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you give some consideration to the thought that whoever had been involved with the killing of the President might want to kill you?

Mr. Senator.

I don't know. I didn't know who to fear. It was. just a natural instinct. I would imagine anybody in the same situation would probably fear something. It was just a natural thing for a human being to do.

Mr. Hubert.

I am not criticizing you, Mr. Senator; at all. I am just trying to find out the reason.

Mr. Senator.

No; I had no reason or any particular thing. There was no reason for it.

Mr. Hubert.

You mentioned one, that a crank might try to hurt you.

Mr. Senator.

A crank might. Yes; I can't measure what or who. It was just a fear.

Mr. Hubert.

Isn't it your thought that there might be some group of people who might want to hurt you?

Mr. Senator.

I can't say it was a group or what it is or who it may be.

Mr. Hubert.

I understand that you don't know of any group?

Mr. Senator.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

But didn't it cross your mind that there might be a group who would want to get rid of you for some reason or other?

Mr. Senator.

This didn't enter my mind that it was any group or anything of this nature here. All I knew is I had a fear. I don't know who, but something. I was just afraid, that is all.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you arm yourself in anyway?

Mr. Senator.

No; I never armed myself in my life. The only gun I ever had is when they had me overseas. That is the only time I ever had a gun. I never carried a knife or a gun in my life.

Mr. Hubert.

What did you do during these several days when you were in effect afraid? Did you move out in the open or did you stay----

Mr. Senator.

I was afraid of the nighttime, not the daytime.. In other words, I wanted--I didn't want to be in an isolated place anywhere. It is not that I wasn't out at night or daytime, which I was, but I didn't want to be in an isolated place. In other words, I wouldn't want to be walking down a lonely street or something like that because that would scare the life out of me. But around groups or something like that, I didn't fear it that much. Now what I feared I don't know, but it was just a natural thing I feel any individual would fear.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you communicate that fear to Jim Martin?

Mr. Senator.

Not only to him but to many of my friends. I said, "I'm just afraid."

Mr. Hubert.

It was for that reason that several of them put you up?

Mr. Senator.

That is right. I told them I was afraid. They said "What are
