You have no recollection of the fact, if it is a fact, that Surrey had seen two men out there in an automobile that didn't have any license plate on it?
General WALKER. Yes; I do. I knew. He told me that he had come toward my house and noticed a car, as I remember, parked on Avondale, and he went on by or backed up or something and got out and came behind the car and saw two men moving around in the area somewhere in the alley in the back part of my house. Then he followed that car. They went down to the center of town, and he lost-them. I would suspect that he told me that the next morning, if not that night.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you recall whether or not you reported that to the police?
General WALKER. Yes; that was called in to the police. As I recall, that was. I believe there is a report at the house that it was called in to the police. As I recall, it was, and I told them what we knew about it.

Mr. Liebeler.

As you reflect on that event, do you recall it was called in to the police prior to the time the shot was fired?
General WALKER. As I reflect, it must have been called in either that night or the next morning. I don't recall the exact time, but the police record will show it.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you make the call yourself, or did someone else do that, if you remember?
General WALKER. As I recall, I made it.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember what kind of response you got from the Dallas Police Department?
General WALKER. Seemed normal. Wasn't upset about it.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now, subsequent to April 10, 1963, of course, the Dallas Police Department conducted an investigation of the attack on you; is that not right?
General WALKER. Will you repeat that?

Mr. Liebeler.

The Dallas Police Department investigated this attack on you that occurred on April 10, 1963? They sent men out there and talked to you and took some pictures?
General WALKER. Oh, subsequent to it; yes. Subsequent, right; they did.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did they discuss with you any possible suspects that they might have come up with, any leads they had on it as to who might have been involved?
General WALKER. I don't recall that they did. They may have, and I may have told them who had been in and about around the house, or who had worked for me. I don't recall this definitely, but the records will probably show.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you have any records like that here?
General WALKER. No; I don't.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did the name Lee Harvey Oswald come up in connection with this investigation in any way at that time?
General WALKER. No; it didn't.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you know William Duff?
General WALKER. I know who William Duff is under that name; yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

In fact, he lived in your house for a while and worked for you as a batman?
General WALKER. Yes; that is what he calls himself; right.

Mr. Liebeler.

When did you first make the acquaintance of Mr. Duff?
General WALKER. He walked in the house late one evening and said he was out of a job and out of a place to sleep, and I put him up and put him to work. The date I would have to get for you; I don't remember.

Mr. Liebeler.

Well, was it sometime prior to April 10, 1963, in any event?
General WALKER. Yes; it was.

Mr. Liebeler.

Was Duff living in your house at the time of the attack on you?
General WALKER. No; he wasn't.

Mr. Liebeler.

About how long had he been gone; can you remember?
