(Testimony of Warren Reynolds Allen)

Mr. Liebeler.
Have you ever heard of her?
Mr. Reynolds.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
What have you heard?
Mr. Reynolds.
I heard that' she was with Garner the night that I got shot. I heard that she took a lie detector test that helped free him. I heard that a few days later she was caught fighting and they put her in jail, and she hung herself. I heard that she formerly worked for Jack Ruby as a stripper.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know who told you that?
Mr. Reynolds.
I read it in Bob Considine's article.
Mr. Liebeler.
Is that the only source of your information concerning Nancy J. Mooney?
Mr. Reynolds.
The police told me that she had hung herself and that she was the one that was with Garner. Everybody calls him "Dago."
Mr. Liebeler.
Did the police department tell you that she had worked for Jack Ruby?
Mr. Reynolds.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
The only source of information that you have for that is the article that Bob Considine wrote about this whole thing?
Mr. Reynolds.
That's right.
Mr. Liebeler.
Have you heard anything about Nancy J. Mooney, or do you know anything about her other than that which you read in Bob Considine's newspaper article?
Mr. Reynolds.
No; I don't. Well, I know one thing, she was 16, and her age, that is just what I have heard.
Mr. Liebeler.
You have heard that?
Mr. Reynolds.
From the police department.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you know that she also used the name Betty MacDonald?
Mr. Reynolds.
No; I didn't know that.
Mr. Liebeler.
My information is also that she is 24, not 16.
Mr. Reynolds.
Twenty-four?
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you ever hear that she tried to commit suicide prior to the time she hung herself in the Dallas Police Station?
Mr. Reynolds.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
Or that she had four children that had been taken away from her because of her conduct?
Mr. Reynolds.
I see nothing in that whole story that Considine wrote that would really come to me be true. I mean, it is true in one sense, and it is fair story, but I don't see any connection there, let's say.
Mr. Liebeler.
Considine was trying to create an impression that some girl had worked for Jack Ruby and was connected with Garner, and hung herself in the police department?
Mr. Reynolds.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you believe there is any connection in that respect?
Mr. Reynolds.
No; I don't.
Mr. Liebeler.
Have you considered, when you thought about this problem, that there are other people that actually went down to the police station and viewed Oswald in lineups, and have testified in Washington before this Commission, and received international publicity in connection with the identification of Oswald as the murderer of Tippit and that so far at any rate they have not been attacked in any way such as you were? Mr. REYNOLDS. Yes; I have.
Mr. Liebeler.
Can you suggest to me why you were picked out to be shot for this reason and not these other people?
Mr. Reynolds.
The ones that I know, I am the only aggressor in the whole bunch. I am the only one that actually did something more than just look. I actually did something.
Mr. Liebeler.
But that is the only distinction you can see between yourself and those other people?
Mr. Reynolds.
That's right.
Mr. Liebeler.
Have you discussed this question of the possible relationship between your shooting and the assassination, with General Walker?
