(Testimony of F. M. Turner)
Mr. Turner.
my locker. I mean, that is probably the same. They might have made a more detailed description of idols at the property room.
Mr. Belin.
All right, what did you do after you left the Beckley residence?
Did you talk to the landlady there at all? Or not?
Mr. Turner.
Talked to her, but I can't recall her name. There was a Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Johnson and Earlene Roberts. There were two or three people there.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember anything that anyone said at that time?
Mr. Turner.
No, sir; I don't. Mr. Potts and Senkel and Cunningham were waiting for us to bring the warrant, so they had been talking to them before we did.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember finding a leather gun holster?
Mr. Turner.
Yes, sir; there was a holster found.
Mr. Belin.
Now, what did you do after that?
Mr. Turner.
After we brought this stuff to the office?
Mr. Belin.
Yes.
Mr. Turner.
Well, by that Tim the phones and everything else were going wild. I answered phones around there for quite a while. I believe I did take an affidavit from a sister of the boy that worked with Oswald at the Texas School Book Depository, the boy that he rode to work with that morning.
Mr. Belin.
What do you do when you take an affidavit, by the way? How do you go about doing it?
Mr. Turner.
Well, I just take the--let them tell the story, and write it down in longhand, and get the secretary to type it up, and let them sign it in front of a notary.
Mr. Belin.
Do you have an affidavit in front of you or your notes from this Linnie Mae Randle, this sister of the boy that drove him to work, or not?
Mr. Turner.
No, sir.
Mr. Belin.
Do you throw those out once the affidavit is typed up?
Mr. Turner.
I don't believe they ever gave it back to us. I guess the secretary, she might have filed it somewhere.
Mr. Belin.
All right, what happened? Anything else on that day that you think is important insofar as the assassination is concerned?
Mr. Turner.
I don't think of anything. Let me look through these notes here and see about where we are. As far as that day goes, that is about it.
Mr. Belin.
Let me ask you this. Do you remember when you were out at 1026 North Beckley finding a passport at all? Does that ring a bell with you?
Mr. Turner.
I think there was a passport, maybe one or two.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember whether or not there was any kind of vaccination card, one of those yellow health organization vaccination cards which bears the name of Lee Oswald? Do you remember whether there was any of those there or not?
Mr. Turner.
I don't recall that.
Mr. Belin.
You don't remember whether there was or or was not?
Mr. Turner.
I don't remember whether there was or was not; no, sir.
Mr. Belin.
What about the next day, Saturday, November 23?
Mr. Turner.
Just nothing of importance that I did that day, that I know of, exempt I came to work, like I said.
They had to put in four or five extra phones up there, and it kept lots of us busy answering the phone.
Mr. Belin.
At that time did you ever get involved in any interrogation sessions with Oswald?
Mr. Turner.
No, sir; I never was.
Mr. Belin.
Did you ever get involved in any showups of Oswald?
Mr. Turner.
No, sir. I think I might have got right in on the tail end of one down there, but I don't recall the details. I think I walked in just as they were winding up on him one night.
Mr. Belin.
Did you receive any phone calls about anyone that tried to identify the rifle as to where it might have been purchased from?
Mr. Turner.
Yes, sir; I did. On one of the phone calls, but I don't know
