(Testimony of )

Mr. Griffin.
You used the term that you were sure who it was. Is there any hesitancy or doubt in your mind?
Mr. Mccullough.
No; not in my own mind. In other words, I would say my own personal identification would be that the man I saw in the corridor outside the police headquarters on Friday is the same man who was later arrested for the shooting of Oswald.
Mr. Griffin.
I have marked for the purposes of identification the diagram that you have drawn here as John G. McCullough Deposition, July 29, 1964, Exhibit No. 1.
(The document referred to was marked John G. McCullough Deposition Exhibit No. 1 for identification.)
Mr. Griffin.
For the purpose of our record, I would like you to sign that below where I have marked it.
Mr. Mccullough.
With the qualification that I make no pretext of being an engineer or architect. As a matter of fact, the ramp that I have indicated is not--is slightly closer to--
Mr. Griffin.
The garage entrance?
Mr. Mccullough.
The garage entrance; yes. The ramp leading to the garage entrance is closer to Commerce Street than it would indicate on this sketch.
Mr. Griffin.
Well, if it is reassuring to you, we already have a diagram, a chart that has been previously made up of the basement. I think the diagram you have drawn for us indicates with a fair degree of accuracy.
Mr. Mccullough.
The other thing that would help me to see what happened in there, was the fact that it was so well lighted by the television cameras. Stark lighting, it almost seemed.
Mr. Griffin.
I am going to hand you a second exhibit which I have marked as John G. McCullough Deposition, July 29, 1964, Exhibit No. 2.
(The document referred to was marked John G. McCullough Deposition Exhibit No. 2 for identification.)
Mr. Griffin.
That is an interview report prepared by two FBI Agents, John R. Wienberg, and Stanley S. Czarnecki. They prepared this report as a result of interviewing you in Philadelphia on December 1, 1963. The report consists of four pages numbered consecutively at the bottom, for the purpose of our records as 448, 449---five pages 450, 451, 452. Having read the document that we have marked as Exhibit No. 2, would you tell us whether or not that is an accurate report of the interview that these FBI agents had with you on December 1?
Mr. Mccullough.
This would be an accurate report. And in addition I would say that the times that I gave to the FBI agents would be better than the times I have given here because it was taken so close to the time of the actual incidents in Dallas.
Mr. Griffin.
I want to go back once again to the identification of the man you think was Ruby. Were you continuously on the third floor from the time that you arrived on Friday night at the police station until you saw this man with the Alpacuna box?
Mr. Mccullough.
If I was not, it was just briefly to leave and reach a telephone, to try to reach some other member of the Bulletin staff moving around Dallas. In other words, any absence would not be more than 5 or 10 minutes. Because all of the action I was covering was confined to that one floor.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall a man on the third floor who was standing near the homicide office and was identifying members of the police department, most particularly Captain Fritz and Chief Curry, to members of the press?
Mr. Mccullough.
There were several persons doing this. The persons who were making these identifications for me, actually, however, were local Dallas reporters, two men and a woman. All carrying press credentials.
Mr. Griffin.
Did any of those persons--obviously not the woman--but did either of the two men bear any resemblance that you recall to Jack Ruby?
Mr. Mccullough.
No; none at all. The man that I believed to be Ruby was quite stocky. The two reporters were slight, one wore glasses. I believe they were both light-haired.
Mr. Griffin.
If I were to tell you that so far as we have been able to determine Jack Ruby did not own an overcoat such as you have described, and in fact
