Mr. Liebeler.

He just had no recognition?

Mr. Wilcox.

Other than that he had some difficulty in paying a money order.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now, as a result of these events that followed Mr. Hamblen's statement to the newspaper reporter and the subsequent investigation that was requested or instigated by the FBI and the Secret Service and other investigatory agencies, you conducted certain searches of certain files in your office in an attempt to locate any money orders that Oswald might have received, or any telegrams that Oswald might have sent during certain periods; is that correct?

Mr. Wilcox.

Yes; I can give you those dates.

Mr. Liebeler.

Let me show you Exhibit 3001, which is a memorandum from Mr. Semingsen, and ask you if that memorandum accurately sets forth the dates and the checks that were made of the files in the Dallas and Irving, Tex., offices of your company to determine whether or not Oswald had received or sent any telegrams?

Mr. Wilcox.

Yes, sir; that's right.

Mr. Liebeler.

Mr. Semingsen testified this morning that the paying office---that is, the office through which a money. order is delivered, maintains a chronological record or file of all money orders passing through that office; is that correct?

Mr. Wilcox.

That's right.

Mr. Liebeler.

It is my understanding that you caused the files for both Dallas and Irving to be searched for the periods indicated in Exhibit 3001?

Mr. Wilcox.

That's right.

Mr. Liebeler.

You were unable to find any money order payable to Lee Harvey Oswald or O. H. Lee or Alex James Hidell; is that correct?

Mr. Wilcox.

That's correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

Is it possible that money orders could be sent to someone just by using initials or some shorthand name?

Mr. Wilcox.

No; you never see anything because you would have no way to identify the man or associate it that you are paying it to them correctly, associate it with any identification that he might have.

Mr. Liebeler.

Since each individual must produce identification at the time the. money order is paid, the money order is naturally in the full name?

Mr. Wilcox.

Correct. They could be accepting it for someone----it might not be their correct name, but they .could have some identification that, if it was just a small money order, but we can't change that identification. If it meets what shows on the money order, then we pay it.

Mr. Liebeler.

But you have never heard of a situation where a money order is paid to somebody Just addressed to him by initials or something like that?

Mr. Wilcox.

No.

Mr. Liebeler.

How many offices, approximately, does the Western Union office have in Dallas?

Mr. Wilcox.

There are eight branch offices.

Mr. Liebeler.

Plus a central office?

Mr. Wilcox.

Plus a central office.

Mr. Liebeler.

Is it possible to receive money orders through the branch office?

Mr. Wilcox.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Are the files of money orders received through branch offices kept in the branch offices, or the Dallas central office?

Mr. Wilcox.

Kept at our main office.

Mr. Liebeler.

So, that the search that you made of the records of the central office would include money orders that were received through any branch office located within the City of Dallas, is that correct?

Mr. Wilcox.

That's right.

Mr. Liebeler.

You said before that your district covered not only the City of Dallas, but surrounding communities including Irving?

Mr. Wilcox.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Are the records relating to money orders received through these other offices of suburban communities located or kept in the suburban offices or the Dallas central office?

Mr. Wilcox.

In this case, this was an agency office and it would be--the records
