(Testimony of Henry M. Moore)

Mr. Moore.
He said, "Look at this." Of course we all looked and commented on it.
Mr. Belin.
Then what did you do?
Mr. Moore.
Well, we continued our search, and after we had completed it, we again brought everything that we had picked up to our office.
Mr. Belin.
You made another list of it?
Mr. Moore.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Anything else that you did that day?
Mr. Moore.
No.
Mr. Belin.
Did you bring in Michael Paine for taking an affidavit from him, do you remember?
Mr. Moore.
Yes, I did. Mr. Adamcik and I went out and brought--we went back to the residence and brought him in later that day.
Mr. Belin.
You talked to him for a while?
Mr. Moore.
Yes, I did.
Mr. Belin.
Then you took the affidavit?
Mr. Moore.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Then the next day was the 24th of November, Sunday. Were you on duty Sunday morning?
Mr. Moore.
No.
Mr. Belin.
When did you get to work on Sunday?
Mr. Moore.
Approximately 1 o'clock.
Mr. Belin.
What did you do when you got there?
Mr. Moore.
I am sure I worked around the office until the time that Rose and I went to Ruby's apartment.
Mr. Belin.
Did you have a search warrant for that?
Mr. Moore.
Yes. We went to Judge Joe B. Brown's residence and got the search warrant.
Mr. Belin.
Is it pretty much standard procedure at the Dallas Police Department to have a search warrant whenever you go to a person's premises?
Mr. Moore.
More or less.
Mr. Belin.
If you don't have a search warrant, what is your procedure when you come to the door? Just what do you do?
Mr. Moore.
If we do not have a search warrant?
Mr. Belin.
Yes.
Mr. Moore.
Well, it would all depend on why we were going, really. If we got a search warrant, if we were looking for stolen property, or things of that nature, we would most probably have one. If we did not have one, if people invited us in, it would be legal to be in the house anyway. And if they don't invite us in, or tell us we can't enter, then in all probability we will get a search warrant and go in anyway.
Mr. Belin.
Anything else you can think of that is important in any way that bears on this investigation?
Mr. Moore.
No.
Mr. Belin.
Officer Moore, do we call you officer or detective or mister?
Mr. Moore.
Either way.
Mr. Belin.
You have an opportunity, if you like, to come back and read this deposition and sign it before it comes to us in Washington, or you can just waive signing and let the court reporter send it to us directly in Washington. Do you've any preference or not?
Mr. Moore.
No.
Mr. Belin.
You want to sign, or do you want to waive signing it?
Mr. Moore.
What is the procedure?
Mr. Belin.
Well, if you sign it, you come back and read it and then you sign it if it is accurate; otherwise, you leave it and we assume the court reporter is accurate, and she will send it to us as the record of your testimony here.
Mr. Moore.
I believe I would rather read it. No reflection on the reporter.
Mr. Belin.
Well, she is too nice a reporter. If you would like to read it, why you certainly have that right, and the reporter will be getting in touch with you. Do we have your address, or can she contact you ta the Dallas Police Department?
Mr. Moore.
Yes; she can..
