(Testimony of Logan W. Mayo)

Mr. Hubert.
Were you given any description of the kind of cards that you could honor?
Mr. Mayo.
I was told that they probably would have a press card with their picture on it and their newspaper.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you have occasion to refuse entrance to anyone?
Mr. Mayo.
Yes, sir; several people.
Mr. Hubert.
You turned them away?
Mr. Mayo.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Did some pass by you, that is to say, with your consent, after being properly identified ?
Mr. Mayo.
You mean enter the building?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes.
Mr. Mayo.
I let two in from newspapers.
Mr. Hubert.
And they were properly identified?
Mr. Mayo.
They were properly identified. One of them had a two-wheeled
cart, similar to a two-wheel golf cart and pulling some equipment on it.
Mr. Hubert.
What kind of equipment?
Mr. Mayo.
It looked like cameras and typewriters.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know Jack Ruby or have you seen any pictures since in the paper?
Mr. Mayo.
Yes, sir; I don't know him, but I have seen his picture.
Mr. Hubert.
Would you be willing to state that neither of those two men that you let in was Jack Ruby ?
Mr. Mayo.
Neither of those two men were him. They were smaller in stature. I want to tell you that at 11:30, I left the entrance and went to the other one on Main Street.
Mr. HUBERT. Let the record show that the witness is pointing to the mockup and when he says he left "this entrance," he was pointing to the Commerce Street entrance, and then he went to the
Mr. Mayo.
Main Street entrance?
Mr. Hubert.
Main Street entrance.
Mr. Mayo.
The other--
Mr. Hubert.
Did you go to the building?
Mr. Mayo.
I went in the building, stayed over there until 1:10.
Mr. Hubert.
Then what happened?
Mr. Mayo.
I got off duty and went home.
Mr. Hubert.
You didn't go out to the Parkland Hospital?
Mr. Mayo.
No, sir; I was asked to go, but didn't have any relief so they wanted the guard, there was about a hundred or so people congregating and coming up from church and everywhere else, and just a big crowd there, see, and I was needed there.
Mr. Hubert.
At the Main Street entrance?
Mr. Mayo.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
All right. Now, for purposes of identification I want to mark what purports to be a signed copy of a report to Chief Curry, dated December 3, 1963, and signed, actually, by Jack Revill, and F. I. Cornwall, by placing in the right-hand margin the following, "Dallas, Tex., March 26, 1964, Exhibit No. 5111, deposition of R. L. Mayo." I am signing my name under that, and I'll ask you if you have read that, Mr. Mayo? I mean read the letter?
Mr. Mayo.
Yes, I have read that.
Mr. Hubert.
Would you endorse your name underneath it? I'm also endorsing a document which is a report of FBI Agent Wilkinson dated December 5, 1963, by placing on the right-hand margin the following: "Dallas, Tex., March

26, 1964, Exhibit No. 5112, deposition of H. L. Mayo." I'm signing my name and ask you to sign your name.
Mr. Mayo.
What is this right here [indicating] ?
Mr. Hubert.
I would like you to read it first. That's right.
Mr. Mayo.
Do you want me to sign this? I talked to Mr. Wilkinson
Mr. Hubert.
Yes. As far as you know, then, the contents of the documents marked 5111 and 5112, are correct reports of interviews to which they relate?
Mr. Mayo.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Let the record show that I am not taking out of the bound
