Mr. Stern.

Were the others reasonably similar to Oswald in height and physical appearance, and color?

Mr. Sorrels.

Yes.

Mr. Stern.

Dress?

Mr. Sorrels.

I noted that to me I thought it was a very fair lineup, because they didn't have anyone that was a lot taller than he was, or anyone a lot shorter. They didn't have any big fat ones or anything like that.
In other words, to me it was a good lineup.

Mr. Stern.

At that time, did Mr. Brennan say anything else to you that you have not told us, or to anyone else?

Mr. Sorrels.

Not that I recall. He says, "I am sorry, but I can't do it. I was afraid seeing the television might have messed me up. I just can't be positive. I am sorry."

Mr. Stern.

As far as you know, had Mr. Brennan been interviewed by anyone after he gave his statement to the deputy sheriff until the time you had him brought to the police headquarters?

Mr. Sorrels.

No; not to my knowledge.

Mr. Stern.

Was he then interviewed by anyone?

Mr. Sorrels.

I couldn't say.

Mr. Stern.

Did you arrange for him to return to his home?

Mr. Sorrels.

As I recall it, I did. I told him "they will take you back to your home."

Mr. Stern.

Immediately after the lineup?

Mr. Sorrels.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Stern.

Have you ever spoken to Mr. Brennan again after that day?

Mr. Sorrels.

Yes; I have.

Mr. Stern.

When was that?

Mr. Sorrels.

We were assisting the Commission in locating witnesses to come to Washington, to the Commission, and I got in touch with him and arranged for him to go and procured his ticket and delivered his ticket to him.

Mr. Stern.

And when you talked to him then, did he say anything that bears upon our inquiry that he hadn't said before?

Mr. Sorrels.

Not that I recall.

Mr. Stern.

Mr. Sorrels, when you were at the police headquarters, after this interview with Oswald that you have told us about, do you recall talking to any representative of the FBI?

Mr. Sorrels.

Yes.

Mr. Stern.

Who was that?

Mr. Sorrels.

Now, let's get that question again, because I talked to them several times down there.
When was that you said?

Mr. Stern.

After you interviewed Oswald.

Mr. Sorrels.

Oh, yes, yes.

Mr. Stern.

Do you know an FBI agent attached to the Dallas office named James Hosty?

Mr. Sorrels.

Yes, sir; I do.

Mr. Stern.

Did you talk to Mr. Hosty that you recall?

Mr. Sorrels.

Not that I recall; no, sir.

Mr. Stern.

Might you have spoken to him, or do you think you would remember that?

Mr. Sorrels.

I think I would remember it.

Mr. Stern.

Do you recall his being there?

Mr. Sorrels.

I think I saw him there.
Now, whether it was on the 22d or not, but I think during along this period, I saw him there one time.
But I don't recall talking to Mr. Hosty at all down there.

Mr. Stern.

Did any of the agents attached to your office tell you that they had talked to Hosty? Or that Hosty had told them anything?

Mr. Sorrels.

Yes; I think Special Agent Patterson, I believe, said that he had seen Hosty down there, and that Hosty, I believe, had said that he had a file on Oswald.
