(Testimony of John P. Adamcik)
Mr. Belin.
Then what did you do?
Mr. Adamcik.
We took them to Irving, to the Paine house. At this time I believe Mrs. Oswald was the only other person that we took back there to the Paine house that didn't come down to the station with us originally.
Mr. Belin.
You mean the mother?
Mr. Adamcik.
Yes; the mother, she went back with us.
Mr. Belin.
Then what did you do?
Mr. Adamcik.
Well, this was fairly late. I guess it was around 10 o'clock when we got back, so apparently it was around 9 when we started taking them to Irving, and got back about 10.
We just dropped them off at the house and went on back to the office.
Mr. Belin.
What did you do when you got back to the office?
Mr. Adamcik.
Went to the office and I stayed there a while, and I guess it was around 11 o'clock, I mean the interrogation room in the captain's office, and spent about 15 minutes.
Mr. Belin.
Why did you go in the interrogation room?
Mr. Adamcik.
Well, at that time I think somebody else just finished talking to him, and I think the captain had to go see somebody or something, and nobody was in the room at the time, and he told us to go on in there for a little while and see whether we could talk to Oswald.
I think Detective Montgomery went in there with me, I am not sure.
Mr. Belin.
Were you the only two in there at that time?
Mr. Adamcik.
Yes; I think so. The ID Bureau came in there and either fingerprinted him or done something. When they came in there, I left. It was just a short period of time.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember any conversation that took place there?
Mr. Adamcik.
No; except I asked him whether he drove a car. I did ask him that. And I remember him saying something that he didn't.
Mr. Belin.
That he did or did not?
Mr. Adamcik.
That he did not. And I asked him how long he was in Russia and whether he liked it there, and I remember him telling me how long he was there. I think it was two years, or something like that.
Mr. Belin.
Well----
Mr. Adamcik.
I don't remember exactly what he said, and he liked it okay, and that is just about it.
Mr. Belin.
Did you talk about the assassination at all?
Mr. Adamcik.
No; it wasn't anything at all concerned with the assassination.
Mr. Belin.
Did you ask him any questions?
Mr. Adamcik.
We did.
Mr. Belin.
Like what kind of questions?
Mr. Adamcik.
Like where were you at the time this assassination occurred; and he just wouldn't say anything.
Mr. Belin.
Did he just keep quiet?
Mr. Adamcik.
He just sat there and stared straight ahead.
Mr. Belin.
Didn't talk at all?
Mr. Adamcik.
No.
Mr. Belin.
Did he ask for an attorney while you were there?
Mr. Adamcik.
Not in my presence.
Mr. Belin.
Did you ask him any questions about Officer Tippit's murder?
Mr. Adamcik.
No; I don't believe that I did.
Mr. Belin.
Anyone else there that did?
Mr. Adamcik.
I didn't hear anybody.
Mr. Belin.
All right, then what happened?
Mr. Adamcik.
Well, I just stayed at the office until about 2 o'clock in the morning.
Mr. Belin.
Ever see Oswald again?
Mr. Adamcik.
I seen him being led out of the office from the interview, I believe. I didn't go down there.
Mr. Belin.
What interview?
Mr. Adamcik.
I think they had--I don't know whether it was an interview or some kind of press conference down in the assembly room.
Mr. Belin.
When would that have been?
