(Testimony of Mrs. Jean Lollis Hill)

Mr. Specter.
On how many occasions?
Mrs. Hill.
Several.
Mr. Specter.
How many, if you remember?
Mrs. Hill.
I don't recall---I was called two or three times at least after that.
Mr. Specter.
Called on the telephone?
Mrs. Hill.
Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. You discussed the matter over the phone with somebody who said he was from the FBI?
Mrs. Hill.
No; I had that pulled on me and I didn't want to talk until I called back down to check to see.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you talk to somebody from the FBI when you called them back?
Mrs. Hill.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
Over the phone?
Mrs. Hill.
. Yes.
Mr. Specter.
On how many occasions?
Mrs. Hill.
I think two or three times is all I had.
Mr. Specter.
Were you ever interviewed in person by the FBI
Mrs. Hill.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
On how many occasions?
Mrs. Hill.
After that day, I believe only once.
Mr. Specter.
And about when was that

Mrs. HILL. Well, it was the other day after I received this letter---no; before I received this letter, and this was last Tuesday, I think, and they came in reference to what Mark Lane had told the Warren Commission.
Mr. SPECTER. And what did they ask you when they came to see you last Tuesday, that would be a week ago today or the 16th---or the 17th
Mrs. HILL. They just had me start over with this story again and they had Mr. Lane's copy and they asked me, you know, if I had said these things and, I read it and told them that I had said it.
Mr. Specter.
Was Mr. Lane's version accurate?
Mrs. HILL. It was accurate in that he took down what I said. It was inaccurate in that he had taken it out of context, and the questions he asked me weren't there, nor were they given. I can see how he could have made what he made out of my statements.
Mr. Specter.
When did you talk to Mr. Lane?
Mrs. Hill.
I talked to him about-approximately 4 or 5 weeks ago.
Mr. Specter.
Where did that take place?
Mrs. Hill.
At New York.
Mr. Specter.
Did he call you on the telephone?

Mrs. HILL. That's right, and he didn't tell me he was recording this at the time.
Mr. Specter.
Did you ever talk to Mark Lane in person?
Mrs. Hill.
No.
Mr. Specter.
Did you ever sign an affidavit for him?
Mrs. Hill.
No.
Mr. Specter.
The only contact you had with him was this one telephone conversation?

Mrs. HILL. That's right, and he said he was coming to Dallas the next week and would I talk with him, I said, I told him then--that I guessed so. I didn't know. I mean, because I didn't fully realize what he was doing in this case.
Mr. Specter.
And what did you tell him over the telephone?
Mrs. HILL. I told him the same story I told you, with the exception that he went further into the day's activities at the police station, and at the courthouse.
Mr. SPECTER. What else did you tell him about your day's activities at the courthouse?
Mrs. HILL. Well, he asked me, you know, he just asked I told him that we didn't know that we were in a pressroom. We just knew we were in a courthouse and with police. I mean, this was to us a police station.
Mr. Specter.
Tell me all the things that you. told him, in addition to those
