Mr. Slack.

There is a little discrepancy

Mr. Hubert.

Yes; I'm going to give you an opportunity to explain them.
For the purpose of identification I am marking what purports to be a copy of a letter addressed to Mr. J. E. Curry, chief of police, apparently signed by Willie B. Slack, dated November 27, 1963. I am marking it "Dallas, Texas, March 31, 1963, Exhibit No. 5116, deposition of W. B. Slack." Putting my name below it. It has only one page. For the purpose of identification, I am marking what purports to be an FBI interview of Willie B. Slack by Agents Hardin and Scott, which took place on December 2, 1963. I am marking the first page of that document with the following, "Dallas, Texas, March 31, 1964. Exhibit No. 5117. Deposition of W. B. Slack," and signing my name, and on the second Page thereof, on the lower right-hand corner I am placing my initial. Now, Patrolman Slack, I show you the document marked Exhibit 5116, and ask you if you have
read it, and if it is a correct statement ?

Mr. Slack.

All right.

Mr. Hubert.

Is that a correct statement?

Mr. Slack.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

So that the record may show that we are both talking about the same thing, same document, I wonder if you will just put your name below mine. Now, we will refer to a document--in two pages--that I have marked a moment ago for identification as "5117," and ask you if you have read that, and if that is correct, or if you have any corrections or observation or comments to make with reference to that document? For the purpose of identification will you mark these two documents with your name Where my name is, and with your initials where my initials are, and then you can make the comments if you want to correct it or modify it and so forth.

Mr. Slack.

You want me to mark it before I---

Mr. Hubert.

Just sign your name on that, and on the second page write your initials. That's right. Now, have you any comments to make, or any corrections to make concerning that document?

Mr. Slack.

Well, on your second page, in here, the document here stated that Patrolman Slack cleared his office. I didn't have anything to do with security in the office. Only part I was in charge would be the immediate area in which I was standing, and nobody was in there, of course, but our personnel. Of course, I believe I did make the statement to them after they had cleared it, it wasn't no one that had come in except authorized personnel.

Mr. Hubert.

Well, you are speaking of the second to last paragraph on the second page and you want to modify that paragraph so that it will conform with the statement you have just made, and which the stenographer has recorded?

Mr. Slack.

Yes, sir; I am not a supervisor or anything like that.

Mr. Hubert.

I notice also, and I believe you have already testified about this, but I think for the purposes of clarity, we ought to note it, and that is that upon the first page there is a statement that about 11:25 to 11:30, Oswald was brought down.

Mr. Slack.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Your previous testimony actually has clarified that, but it was those times that you were speaking about in this deposition earlier, that is to say, that as to this statement in "5117" the last paragraph on the first page, wherein it says that you saw Oswald coming down somewhere between 11:25 and 11:30, your previous statement or testimony is more accurate, that is to say, that it was about 11:20.

Mr. Slack.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

And I think that modification ought to be noted, too.

Mr. Slack.

Yes; I do too.

Mr. Hubert.

And it is noted, because the reporter has taken it down. Now, have you any other statement that you would like to make that has not been covered?

Mr. Slack.

No, sir; that is about all.

Mr. Hubert.

Were you interviewed by me or any other member of the Commission's staff prior to the taking of this deposition ?
