(Testimony of Paul Roderick Gregory)
Mr. Gregory.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
I have no further questions. If there is anything that you would like to add to the record, we would like to have you do it.
If there is anything you think I should have asked you about that I haven't, I would like to have you mention it and we will put it on the record now.
Mr. Gregory.
No; I think you have covered it.
Mr. Liebeler.
In that case, we will terminate the deposition. I want to thank you very much, Mr. Gregory, for driving all the way from Norman to Dallas to give us your testimony. The Commission appreciates it very much.

Mrs. Helen Leslie
Testimony of Mrs. Helen Leslie
The testimony of Mrs. Helen Leslie was taken at 3:20 p.m., on April 1, 1964, in the office of the U.S. attorney, 301 Post Office Building, Bryan and Ervay Streets, Dallas, Tex., by Mr. Albert E. Jenner, Jr., assistant counsel of the President's Commission. Robert T. Davis, assistant attorney general of Texas, was present.
Mr. Jenner.
This is Mrs. Helen Leslie of 4209 Hanover Street, Fort Worth, Tex.
Mrs. Leslie.
Not Fort Worth--Dallas, Tex.
Mr. Jenner.
Mrs. Leslie, would you stand and hold up your hand, please?
Mrs. Leslie.
Oh, yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you solemnly swear that in the testimony you are about to give you will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
Mrs. Leslie.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Mrs. Leslie, I am Albert E. Jenner, Jr., and I am a member of the legal staff of the Warren Commission. The Warren Commission was created pursuant to a Senate joint resolution creating the Commission to investigate the assassination of the late President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
Mrs. Leslie.
Yes, I know what it is.
Mr. Jenner.
And all the circumstances surrounding it.
Pursuant to that legislation, President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed the commission, of which the Honorable Earl Warren, Chief Justice of the United States, is chairman.
Mrs. Leslie.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And that Commission has the assignment I have indicated to you in the legislation. We are seeking on behalf of the Commission to inquire into all pertinent facts and circumstances relating to that assassination, and particularly to people who might or could have had any contact with or knowledge of one Lee Harvey Oswald and his wife, Marina Oswald.
Mrs. Leslie.
Yes, yes.
Mr. Jenner.
In the course of some depositions that I have been taking here in Dallas, mention was made by some of the witnesses of you.
Mrs. Leslie.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And, possibly you might have some information. I do want to assure you that all the references to you were in a complimentary vein and I have sought to have this privilege of talking with you and taking your deposition, because I think perhaps you might be helpful to us.
Mrs. Leslie.
I will be glad to--as much as I can.
Mr. Jenner.
You just sit back and relax and nothing is going to happen to you.
Mrs. Leslie.
I don't think I know very much; actually it is very little.
Mr. Jenner.
Well, you appear voluntarily.
Mrs. Leslie.
Yes. Now, you want to know if I met the man and his wife?
Mr. Jenner.
Maybe I can take it by easy steps, if you will let me.
Mrs. Leslie, you live in Dallas?
Mrs. Leslie.
I live here in Dallas. I can start for you from where I was born, how I came here?
