Mr. Montgomery.

Not to the assassination--no, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Did you talk to witnesses that had anything to do with the shooting of Tippit?

Mr. Montgomery.

Well, we went out and got two of them and brought them down.

Mr. Ball.

Who were they?

Mr. Montgomery.

Let's see, there was a taxicab driver--Whaley--one of them was Mr. Whaley and there was another one.

Mr. Ball.

Was there a Mr. Scoggins?

Mr. Montgomery.

That could be his name I just don't recall.

Mr. Ball.

Do you have a report that you made of what you did?

Mr. Montgomery.

I didn't take an affidavit from him--no, sir; I took one from Mr. Whaley.

Mr. Ball.

Now, did you attend a showup?

Mr. Montgomery.

No, sir; I didn't attend any showups.

Mr. Ball.

You didn't?

Mr. Montgomery.

No.

Mr. Ball.

But you took an affidavit from Mr. Whaley?

Mr. Montgomery.

From Mr. Whaley--yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Were you ever present at any time when Oswald was questioned?

Mr. Montgomery.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Where was that?

Mr. Montgomery.

That would be the Sunday morning of the 24th, just prior to transferring him.

Mr. Ball.

Where was that?

Mr. Montgomery.

That would be in Captain Fritz' office in the city hall.

Mr. Ball.

Who was present, if you remember?

Mr. Montgomery.

Well, there was Detective Leavelle, Detective Graves, Detective Dhority, Captain Fritz, and Mr. Sorrels, and Mr. Kelley.

Mr. Ball.

Do you know what was said?

Mr. Montgomery.

Yes, sir; they just asked him several questions there as to why he shot the President and he said he didn't shoot the President, and Captain Fritz asked Mr. Sorrels if he would like to ask him a question and Mr. Sorrels would ask him one and then Mr. Kelley would ask him one--they would ask him about life in Russia.

Mr. Ball.

Do you remember anything else?

Mr. Montgomery.

No, sir; that's about all the questions I recall.

Mr. Ball.

Then, was Oswald handcuffed at that time, during the questioning?

Mr. Montgomery.

At that time, I don't believe he was--no, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Did you leave with him?

Mr. Montgomery.

Did I leave with who----now?

Mr. Ball.

Leave Fritz' office with him.

Mr. Montgomery.

When we started to transfer him, of course, we all went down on the elevator with him.

Mr. Ball.

He was handcuffed to whom?

Mr. Montgomery.

Detective Leavelle.

Mr. Ball.

And were you with the group that was taking him, transporting him?

Mr. Montgomery.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

And you have already testified, I guess, as to what happened there?

Mr. Montgomery.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

I think that's all. This will be reduced to writing and it can be submitted to you for your signature, or you can waive signature, if you wish. Which do you prefer?

Mr. Montgomery.

It doesn't make any difference to me.

Mr. Ball.

Do you want to waive your signature?

Mr. Montgomery.

I can waive it and save having to come back and sign it.

Mr. Ball.

That will be all right with you?

Mr. Montgomery.

Yes, sir; that's fine.

Mr. Ball.

Thank you very much for coming back.
Mr, MONTGOMERY. You bet.
