Mr. Revill.

This was it. They had--"We had information that this man was capable"----

Mr. Rankin.

Of what?

Mr. Revill.

Of committing this assassination. This is what I understood him to say.

Mr. Rankin.

Are those his exact words?

Mr. Revill.

As well as I recall. Give him the benefit of the doubt; I might have misunderstood him. But I don't believe I did, because the part about him being in Dallas, and the fact that he was a suspected Communist, I understand by the rules of the Attorney General they cannot tell us this, but the information about him being capable, I felt that we had taken a part in the security measures for Mr. Kennedy, and if such, if such information was available to another law enforcement agency, I felt they should have made it known to all of us, and I asked Hosty where he was going at that time. By this time we were on the elevator and he said he was going up to homicide and robbery to tell Captain Fritz the same thing. I said, "Do you know Captain Fritz?" and he said he had never met him. I said, "All right, I will take you up and introduce you to Captain Fritz." So Detective Brian and I and Hosty went to the third floor of the city hall and went to Captain Fritz' office, the homicide and robbery bureau. We didn't see Captain Fritz, he may or may not have been there. His office door was closed.

Mr. Dulles.

What time of the day, could you give me the approximate time?

Mr. Revill.

Between 2:30 and 3 o'clock, and I have the reason for saying this because of the typing of this report here. Our secretary got off at 4 o'clock.

Mr. Dulles.

And Chief Curry had not yet returned, had he?

Mr. Revill.

I don't know where he was.

Mr. Dulles.

You didn't know about that?

Mr. Revill.

No, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you say anything about this to Captain Fritz?

Mr. Revill.

I did not talk to Captain Fritz, as I said, I didn't see him. I introduced Mr. Hosty to Lieutenant Ted Wells, who is one of the lieutenants assigned to the homicide and robbery bureau and also present at that time was another special agent, Mr. Bookhout, and Hosty, there was confusion within this office, so Brian and I, after introducing Mr. Hosty to Wells, left and went back to the special service bureau office.

Mr. Rankin.

And you didn't say anything to the inspector about it?

Mr. Revill.

The inspector?

Mr. Rankin.

Lieutenant Wells.

Mr. Revill.

No, sir; I did not.

Mr. Rankin.

You didn't tell him this important information?

Mr. Revill.

Hosty was going up to tell him the same thing.

Mr. Rankin.

Did he tell you that?

Mr. Revill.

Yes, sir; he told me that.

Mr. Rankin.

And Hosty told you then that he was going up to tell him that they knew he was capable of being the assassin?

Mr. Revill.

Yes, sir; being at that time I was out of touch with everything, being in the building, I had put no connection between the shooting of Tippit and the President.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you know that Oswald had been arrested?

Mr. Revill.

No, sir; at that time I did not.

Mr. Rankin.

You just knew about the someone by the name of Lee, didn't you?

Mr. Revill.

Yes, sir; Lee. And this was told to me by a colored employee of the School Book Depository. Myself and Lieutenant Frank Dyson took charge of the search of the building and we must have had 75 or 80 men in the building assisting in this search. I talked to a Negro----

Mr. Dulles.

Were you in charge of that?

Mr. Revill.

Yes, sir; I was in charge of that phase of the search. I talked to a Negro by the name of Givens, and we had handled this person in the past for marijuana violations and I recognized him and in talking to him I asked him if he had been on the sixth floor, and as well as I recall, and Detective Brian was present at this same time he said, yes, that he had observed Mr. Lee, over
