Mr. Peterson.

I think it was Jack.

Mr. Specter.

Was he in Calgary, Alberta, Canada?

Mr. Peterson.

That is it. Calgary. Some organization. He was trying to get us hooked for this, whatever it was, that they celebrate.

Mr. Specter.

Was his name Wall, W-a-l-l?

Mr. Peterson.

No; Breck Wall is my partner. This other was Wohl, W-o-h-l.

Mr. Specter.

Wall?

Mr. Peterson.

Maybe I'm spelling it wrong.

Mr. Specter.

Was he with you in the Adolphus Hotel?

Mr. Peterson.

He comes to our hotel quite a lot.

Mr. Specter.

Was he with you in March of 1964?

Mr. Peterson.

Well, he stayed there at the hotel. He saw a show two or three times. He talked to us about the chance of booking a show in Canada. He would get in touch with this organization he was with and let us know, which he did by letter.

Mr. Specter.

Did you ever work that deal out?

Mr. Peterson.

No.

Mr. Specter.

Why not?

Mr. Peterson.

Well, it just never materialized.

Mr. Specter.

How did he pronounce his name again?

Mr. Peterson.

Wohl, I believe it is.

Mr. Specter.

Phonetically it sounds the same as W-a-l-l?

Mr. Peterson.

Right.

Mr. Specter.

He was from Calgary, Alberta, Canada?

Mr. Peterson.

Yes. I'm pretty sure that is it. In fact I think we still got that letter. I know it is W-o-h-l because I remarked on it, about Breck Wall.

Mr. Specter.

You say you still do have that letter?

Mr. Peterson.

I'm pretty sure.

Mr. Specter.

Could you look for that and send it to me?

Mr. Peterson.

Sure. Sure.

Mr. Specter.

Let me write my name and address down for you so you can do that.

Mr. Peterson.

Fine. If I don't have the letter we could get in touch with the hotel. He always stays there. I'm sure they have records.

Mr. Specter.

His first name was Jack?

Mr. Peterson.

I'm sure it was Jack; yes.

Mr. Specter.

Here is my name and address in Washington.

Mr. Peterson.

He was connected with a big oil company.

Mr. Specter.

If you can find that letter and send it to me, I would be much obliged to you.

Mr. Peterson.

Sure.

Mr. Specter.

What did you do immediately after the assassination, if you recall?

Mr. Peterson.

Well, we checked the hotel about the show.

Mr. Specter.

Did you go down to the Texas School Book Depository Building?

Mr. Peterson.

I think we did; ran down to take a look.

Mr. Specter.

What was the purpose of that?

Mr. Peterson.

Curiosity.

Mr. Specter.

Was that the only purpose?

Mr. Peterson.

Yes; along with a couple of thousand other people.

Mr. Specter.

Do you recall what your reaction was when Breck Wall received some telephone calls in Galveston from the Washington Post and from the Dallas Morning News and the Dallas Times Herald?

Mr. Peterson.

That is it. Washington Post. Well, I got a little angry, told him not to say anything over the phone until we got back home.

Mr. Specter.

Why did you tell him not to say anything over the phone until you got back home?

Mr. Peterson.

Well, you don't know who you are talking to over the phone.

Mr. Specter.

Did you have any other reason in mind besides that?

Mr. Peterson.

No; not at all. The only one I could recognize was the Dallas
