Mr. Stern.

Have you subsequently learned of such a list in connection with your duties?

Mr. Quigley.

Yes; I have.

Mr. Stern.

Have you been told why that list wasn't furnished to you at the time of your interview?

Mr. Quigley.

Yes; I have. On November 29, 1963, I went to the first district station in New Orleans Police Department to confer with Lieutenant Martello. At this time he informed me that on November 23, 1963, a representative of the Secret Service had contacted him about 3 o'clock in the morning, told him that he was conducting an official investigation with regard to the assassination of the President, and desired to talk to him.
Arrangements were made the following or that same day, to meet at the first district station. At approximately 3 o'clock the Secret Service representative met there. At this time, Lieutenant Martello went to his files, removed from the files the evidence that had been taken from Oswald on August 9, 1963. In going through these documents, he noted this piece of paper that had what appeared to him to be foreign writing, he felt that it probably was Russian but he did not know. He turned this over to the Secret Service. He related to me that at the time he had questioned Oswald on August 10, 1963, prior to the time that he had called the FBI office, that he had gone through items in Oswald's wallet, which is a normal procedure for the police to do, for background identification, and so forth, and among the items in his wallet was this piece of paper, and in the discussion that pursued, apparently this particular document and a small photograph of Oswald inadvertently became involved with the evidence that was being handled in the case at the time, and the file was then put away, and it was not gone back into, as I understand it, until this interview of the 23d, when he discovered this document.

Mr. Dulles.

And the photograph?

Mr. Quigley.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Dulles.

In addition to the writing was among these other papers?

Mr. Quigley.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Stern.

Did you make notes of your interview?

Mr. Quigley.

Yes; I did, sir.

Mr. Stern.

Do you practice shorthand or any speedwriting?

Mr. Quigley.

No, sir; I do not.

Mr. Stern.

How soon after the interview did you record the interview formally?

Mr. Quigley.

Five days.

Mr. Stern.

Did you dictate or draft it yourself?

Mr. Quigley.

I dictated from my notes.

Mr. Stern.

Did you retain the notes?

Mr. Quigley.

No, sir; I did not.

Mr. Stern.

Is it your usual practice to destroy notes once you have dictated a memorandum?

Mr. Quigley.

It is the usual practice to. destroy your notes after the completed work has been returned to you for proofing to make certain that the information is accurate, then you do destroy them.
(Discussion off the record.)

Mr. Stern.

Mr. Quigley, I show you a one-page document marked for identification with the number 827. Can you identify that document?

Mr. Quigley.

Yes; I can identify this document.

Mr. Stern.

What is it, please?

Mr. Quigley.

This is a copy of a document that was turned over to me by Lt. Francis L. Martello of the New Orleans Police Department, en November 29, 1963. He informed me that at the time he interviewed Oswald on August 10, 1963, Oswald had on his person a piece of paper which was removed from his wallet which contained some foreign writing as well as some English, that the piece of paper inadvertently became involved in the evidence in the case with reference to the disturbing of the peace. And subsequently on November 29, 1963, he found this original document that had been taken from Oswald among the items of evidence at the first district police station. He then turned the
