(Testimony of Henry M. Moore)

Mr. Belin.
And you have been there ever since?
Mr. Moore.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
What is your position there right now?
Mr. Moore.
Detective.
Mr. Belin.
Were you on duty on November 22 around noon?
Mr. Moore.
No.
Mr. Belin.
When were you to report to work that day?
Mr. Moore.
Four; 4:00 p.m.
Mr. Belin.
When did you report for work that day?
Mr. Moore.
Shortly after the assassination, soon as I could get to town.
Mr. Belin.
How shortly after?
Mr. Moore.
1 or 1:30, somewhere around there. Maybe 2.
Mr. Belin.
You reported down at the main police station?
Mr. Moore.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
What did you do when you got there?
Mr. Moore.
Well, I helped answer telephones mostly for, oh, I don't know, until the time I went out to North Beckley to search Oswald's room.
Mr. Belin.
At 1026 North Beckley?
Mr. Moore.
Yes; I believe that is right.
Mr. Belin.
About when was that?
Mr. Moore.
I am going to guess around 6 or so in the evening. The notes may show a little closer time.
Mr. Belin.
Did you have a search warrant?
Mr. Moore.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Do you know who got it?
Mr. Moore.
The Judge issued it. Judge David Johnston.
Mr. Belin.
Did he go with you there, too?
Mr. Moore.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Who else went?
Mr. Moore.
District Attorney Bill Alexander and Detective F. M. Turner.
Mr. Belin.
You went to that address, and did the landlady--let me ask you this. You got to the door at 1026 North Beckley?
Mr. Moore.
Yes; we met some other officers there. They were already inside.
Mr. Belin.
At that time they found out that Lee Harvey Oswald lived there?
Mr. Moore.
I believe they had; yes.
Mr. Belin.
What did you do when you got there?
Mr. Moore.
We searched his room.
Mr. Belin.
Then what did you do?
Mr. Moore.
Brought everything in the room to the city hall.
Mr. Belin.
You made a list of what you found there?
Mr. Moore.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Anything in particular that you found there?
Mr. Moore.
Yes; one map, city of Dallas map, and it had several marks located on it.
Mr. Belin.
Anything else?
Mr. Moore.
Personal effects, clothing, radio, and gun scabbard.
Mr. Belin.
What do you mean by that?
Mr. Moore.
A holster.
Mr. Belin.
What kind of gun?
Mr. Moore.
.38 pistol, I believe it was.
Mr. Belin.
Did you find the gun itself, or just the holster?
Mr. Moore.
No; just the holster. I believe they had recovered the gun from him earlier in the day.
Mr. Belin.
Anything else there that you can establish?
Mr. Moore.
I believe I mentioned his clothing, personal effects?
Mr. Belin.
Some letters?
Mr. Moore.
Yes; I'm sure there were some letters and papers.
Mr. Belin.
Pamphlets?
Mr. Moore.
I am not sure. I believe there was some. I am not sure, though.
Mr. Belin.
I am going to hand you a copy which appears to be a photostatic copy of a property clerk's invoice or receipt. By the way, how many times did you go to 1026 North Beckley?
