Mr. Wade.

Yes; to the best of my knowledge that is the memorandum he showed me there at 7 p.m. on the 22d day of November 1963.
Jack Revill incident.oily, you all have talked with him, but he is one of the brightest, to my mind, of the young Dallas police officers.
As a matter of fact, when we got into the Ruby trial, I asked that they assign Jack Revill to assist us in the investigation and he assisted with picking of the jury and getting the witnesses all through the Ruby trial.

Mr. Rankin.

Would your records show when you received a copy of this document, Commission Exhibit No. 709?

Mr. Wade.

Well, I am sure it would. It would be the day--you can trace it back to when the newspapers said he had turned all the files over to me and it was around Christmas as I recall, and I believe actually it was after Christmas, but probably 30 days, but you see they turned over a file that thick to me, I imagine. It was of all of that, the same thing they turned over to you, everything the police had on Jack Ruby.

Mr. Rankin.

You put a receipt stamp on anything like that?

Mr. Wade.

I don't think it will show a date or anything like that on it because they just hauled it in there and laid it on my desk. But this was--it is in our files, and I am rather sure it is the same time. You all got the same thing.

Mr. Rankin.

We didn't receive anything like that until the time that Chief Curry came to testify, just for your information.

Mr. Wade.

Well, I didn't know that, but now on this, this is the Ruby matter----

Mr. Dulles.

Could I ask one question there?

Mr. Wade.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Dulles.

Just to refresh my recollection of your testimony, did you see this that afternoon around 5 or 6 o'clock?

Mr. Wade.

Around 7 o'clock I would say it was on Chief Curry's desk.

Mr. Dulles.

Of the 22d?

Mr. Wade.

Of the 22d.
Senator COOPER. I don't want to interrupt too much, but looking at this exhibit, I note it is written, you have seen this Commission, Commission Exhibit No. 709 signed by Jack Revill?

Mr. Wade.

Yes; let me see it; yes.
Senator COOPER. Is your recollection, was the memorandum that was shown to you by--first, who did show you the memorandum on the 22d?

Mr. Wade.

Chief Curry of the Dallas police.
Senator COOPER. Was the memorandum shown to you on the 22d by Chief Curry in this same form?

Mr. Wade.

To the best of my knowledge that was it now.
Now, like I said I read this memorandum, and I read the memorandum, and asked the chief what he was going to do with it and he said, "I don't know."
And then the next morning I heard on television Chief Curry, I don't know whether I heard him or not, he made some kind of statement concerning this memorandum on television, and then later came back and said that wasn't to his personal knowledge, and I think that was--he said that what he said about it he retracted it to some extent but I guess you all have got records of those television broadcasts or at least can get them.

Mr. Rankin.

Do you remember whether he said just what was in this Exhibit No. 709 or something less than that or more or what?

Mr. Wade.

I don't remember. You see, things were moving fast, and it is hard there are so many things going on. I will go on to my story.

Mr. Rankin.

Yes.

Mr. Wade.

I will answer anything, of course.

Mr. Rankin.

You can tell us the rest that you said to Chief Curry and he said to you at that time, first.

Mr. Wade.

I asked him how the case was coming along and, as a practical matter he didn't know. You probably have run into this, but there is really a lack of communication between the chief's office and the captain of detective's office there in Dallas.

Mr. Rankin.

You found that to be true.
