Mr. Jenner. Excuse me. Up to this point it was continuous driving, except as you might have been resting or waiting a change of stoplight or something of that character?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct.
Mr. Jenner. Did anybody contact you, or did you speak with anybody during the period of this drive up to the moment we now have reached?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; they did not.
Mr. Jenner. All right, sir. You reversed your course and then where did you go?
Mr. Oswald. When I reversed my course, I still did not have any idea as to exactly where I was going. But I did reverse my course, and I started driving on the turnpike between Fort Worth and Dallas.
Mr. Jenner. Does that have a highway number?
I notice you mentioned a Highway 80.
Is that the same as the turnpike?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; it is not.
Mr. Jenner. Would you explain that, please?
Mr. Oswald. Highway 80 is on the old highway from Fort Worth to Dallas, the turnpike being a later and more modern trafficway.
Mr. McKenzie. And a toll road.
Mr. Oswald. And a toll road.
Mr. Jenner. Did you take Highway 80 in going to Fort Worth?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. Jenner. But you returned by the toll road?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct.
Mr. Jenner. All right, sir.
I take it you continued your drive—continued to drive along, while you were attempting to rearrange your thoughts.
Mr. Oswald. That is correct.
Mr. Jenner. And you eventually arrived where?
Mr. Oswald. At Dallas, Tex., sir.
Mr. Jenner. Did you become a guest of a hotel; did you register anywhere?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir, I did.
Mr. Jenner. Where?
Mr. Oswald. At the Statler Hilton Hotel.
Mr. Jenner. In Dallas?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Now, up to that moment, having in mind your route, had anybody contacted you, had you spoken with anybody? Up to the time that you entered the Statler Hilton Hotel to register?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I had spoken to somebody.
Mr. Jenner. Who was that?
Mr. Oswald. A gas station attendant midway on the turnpike where I stopped to buy gas.
Mr. Jenner. But other than that incident, you had no contact with anyone?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct, sir.
Mr. Jenner. All right. You registered?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Did you go to your room?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. Dulles. Approximately what time was this?
Mr. Oswald. Approximately 10:30 p.m., that night, sir.
Mr. Jenner. After registering, did you retire for the evening, or did you go somewhere?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I did not retire for the evening. I did, in fact, go into the coffee room of the Statler Hilton Hotel in Dallas, and have a ham sandwich and some milk, and shortly after completing this, I walked across the street, which was approximately a half a block down the street, to the Dallas police station again.
Mr. Jenner. All right.
Now, up to that moment, other than was necessary for you to register and your conversation with a waitress, in connection with your having some evening lunch, did you have any contact with anybody?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I did not.
Mr. Jenner. Did you have any contact at all of any kind or character up to this moment with anybody in connection with the events of the day?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I had not.
Mr. Jenner. All right.
You went across the street to the Dallas City police station?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir, I did.
Mr. Jenner. Had you had an appointment?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir, I did not.
Mr. Jenner. What was your purpose in going across the street for that visit?
Mr. Oswald. I wanted to speak to Captain Fritz, if possible.
Mr. Jenner. You record on page 8 that you entered the Dallas police station, you were interviewed or consulted by some FBI agents in a small office.
Mr. Oswald. That is correct.
Mr. Jenner. Do you recall their names?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I do not.
Mr. Jenner. I take it in any event, however, that they questioned you, did they?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct.
Mr. Jenner. And were all the answers that you gave the truth and nothing but the truth to the best of your information, recollection, and belief, at that time?
Mr. Oswald. It most certainly was, sir.
Mr. Jenner. All right, sir.
When did you learn, if you ever learned, that your brother, Lee Harvey Oswald, had in fact been charged with the assassination of President Kennedy?
Mr. Oswald. At approximately midnight or a few minutes before midnight, November 22, 1963.
Mr. Jenner. And is that recorded on page 8 of your memorandum?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir, it is.
Mr. Jenner. What was your reaction when that information was conveyed to you? What were your thoughts?
Mr. Oswald. I do not recall if I had any thoughts at that particular time, sir. I did not make any comment that I recall. I believe I just shook my head.
Mr. Jenner. I was going to ask you in connection with page 8, your opinion respecting the possible involvement of your brother, Lee Harvey Oswald, in the assassination of President Kennedy, but Mr. Dulles this morning in his questions has covered that subject, so I will skip it.
Now, did you see Captain Fritz that evening?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir, I did not.
Mr. Jenner. Did you attempt to see him?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. Jenner. Did you inquire further with respect to an opportunity on your part that you wished to see your brother?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I had been told so many times that Captain Fritz was quite busy, and I realize, of course, he was, and I let it go at that.
Mr. Jenner. Now, following your visit to the police station, which you do record there, and therefore I won't go into it further, what did you do that evening?
Mr. Oswald. I returned to my hotel, sir.
Mr. Jenner. And retired?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct.
Mr. Jenner. Now, between the time you left the Statler Hilton Hotel and the time you returned there to retire, were you contacted by anybody or did you have any conversation with anybody respecting the course of events of the day, other than you have recorded in your memorandum?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I did not. And I might add I did register under my regular name at the Statler Hilton.
Mr. Jenner. I didn't even think to ask
