(Testimony of Henry M. Moore)
Mr. Moore.
Yes; you find my initials on the back of it, I believe.
Mr. Belin.
Your initials, it says, HMM, 11-22-63. Those are your initials?
Mr. Moore.
Yes; and date.
Mr. Belin.
Do you know who FMT is, or are those initials there?
Mr. Moore.
I believe that will be F. M. Turner.
Mr. Bean.
F. M. Turner?
Mr. Moore.
I believe. That is the only one I could think of it would be.
Mr. Belin.
All right. About how long did you stay out there?
Mr. Moore.
Hour and a half, possibly.
Mr. Belin.
Then what did you do?
Mr. Moore.
We drove back to the city hall.
Mr. Belin.
Now I assume then that you went through the property and marked it, and what have you. This took a little bit of time?
Mr. Moore.
Yes; it did.
Mr. Belin.
Anything else on that day that has anything else to do with the assassination of the President or the Tippit murder that you can think of offhand?
Mr. Moore.
No.
Mr. Belin.
The next day you reported for work about when?
Mr. Moore.
As soon after the Oswald shooting in the basement, as soon as I could get there. I live out of town.
Mr. Belin.
Wait, that is when Oswald was shot. I am not talking about Sunday. I am talking about Saturday. When did you search the Beckley premises? On Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?
Mr. Moore.
Saturday. No; we searched it on Friday. Irving on Saturday.
Mr. Belin.
Irving on Saturday. When did you get to work on Saturday?
Mr. Moore.
I believe I came in around 10 that morning.
Mr. Belin.
All right, you worked in the office for a while?
Mr. Moore.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember what you did offhand?
Mr. Moore.
Answered the phone.
Mr. Belin.
Then what did you do?
Mr. Moore.
I went out with Stovall and Rose and Adamcik to Irving later in the day to search the residence at Irving.
Mr. Belin.
Would that be 2515 West Fifth Street in Irving?
Mr. Moore.
Right.
Mr. Belin.
Had a search warrant for that?
Mr. Moore.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
You found several items there?
Mr. Moore.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Made a list of those similar to this other list?
Mr. Moore.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Anything else? Do you remember any conversation you had out there with Mrs. Paine or Mrs. Oswald, Marina Oswald, or anyone else?
Mr. Moore.
When we arrived, they were preparing to leave and did leave. We had an Irving officer with us.
Mr. Belin.
Did they tell you to go ahead?
Mr. Moore.
Yes, they did; just go ahead and help ourselves. They said they would be back later, and I am not sure that they even returned before we left.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember anything particularly you found out there that stands out in your mind?
Mr. Moore.
Rose found the picture of Oswald holding the rifle.
Mr. Belin.
Did Rose show it to you out there?
Mr. Moore.
Yes, he did; at the time he found it.
Mr. Belin.
Were you near him when he found it.
Mr. Moore.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
How far away was he from you?
Mr. Moore.
This was a one-car garage, and it would have to be close. Four men searching in that garage. I would say a matter of 3 or 4 feet.
Mr. Belin.
What did Rose say to you when he found it?
