(Testimony of Harold B. , Jr. Holly)

Mr. Hubert.
this report of an interview by Revill attempts to indicate the day on which you reported that this reserve officer had said these things to you. I think the other document does that. Well, let's look at 5110, which is the FBI report of interview, I think.
Mr. Holly.
I believe it was in the FBI report there.
Mr. Hubert.
Yes; on the third page there is of Exhibit 5110, in the last paragraph, there is the following language. "He relayed this information to a close personal friend of his, Detective Gus Eberhardt, who is a regular officer assigned to the burglary and theft bureau. He believed he told Eberhardt this on the following day." Is that the part you think is not correct?
Mr. Holly.
No; that is not correct.
Mr. Hubert.
When did you, then?
Mr. Holly.
It was about the Sunday. It was about Thursday of that week, approximately Thursday of that week, he come out to the house, and I was going to ride with him that night, and he made the statement that he was trying to find out as to how Ruby entered the city hall, and I said, "Well, the information you have there I passed on to him." And he said, "Will you make
a signed statement to that effect." And I said, "I would be glad to."
Mr. Hubert.
Did you then and there
Mr. Holly.
I immediately rode to the city hall and made a report, made a statement to the secretary there in the burglary and theft division.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, now, let me get another book and perhaps we can get that in too.
(Discussion off the record.)
I am now marking for identification a document which is Commission Document 81A.48. It is apparently a copy of a letter dated November 29, 1963, addressed to Mr. J. E. Curry, Chief of Police, by A. M. Eberhardt, Detective. The copy seems to be signed in ink by A. M. Eberhardt. For identification, I am marking that document, although I am not removing it from this file, and "Dallas, Tex., March 26, 1964, Exhibit No. 5111, Deposition of H. B. Holly." I am signing my name, Leon D. Hubert, Jr. That document consists of only one page.
Now, going back for a moment to 5110, that is the FBI report, I think you said that you had read it and that you found it correct, that it is probably a correct record of the interview you had with the FBI agents, except that it was in error when it stated that you had conveyed this information to Eberhart on the day after Oswald was shot. Your recollection was that it was Thursday of that week?
Mr. Holly.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
This letter indicates, Exhibit 5111, indicates that that information was passed on to Eberhardt on November 29, which I believe was a Thursday,
Mr. Holly.
Yes; I don't remember if that is dated or not.
Mr. Hubert.
That is dated November 29.
Mr. Holly.
That was a Wednesday or Thursday after the shooting?
Mr. Hubert.
The 29th or November 1963, was a Friday night. Could it have been Friday night?
Mr. Holly.
Yes; it could have been.
Mr. Hubert.
In any case, this Exhibit 5111, you think, is the report that you were speaking of a little while ago in your deposition?
Mr. Holly.
Yes; that is the only report that I made to Detective Eberhardt.
Mr. Hubert.
I think you said you thought you had signed it.
Mr. Holly.
I thought I signed that. That is the one right there.
Mr. Hubert.
Exhibit 5111 is the one you were talking about?
Mr. Holly.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
But you had the recollection of having signed it? Of course, here we have only a copy of it.
Mr. Holly.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
It may be that you did sign the original, but it doesn't indicate that there was a space for you to sign.
Mr. Holly.
I was thinking I signed it.
Mr. Hubert.
There was no other report than this one here?
