(Testimony of Patrick Trevore Dean Resumed)

Mr. Hubert.
have added a few words, but let the record show that there is--displayed to me a paper which has, in substance, all that Mr. Dean has testified to.
Mr. Macmasters.
You are interpolating your notes, aren't you?
Mr. Dean.
Yes, sir; and adding initials and--yes, sir. These two other men here, I don't know which one for sure, but they are Reserve Officers Fred A. Briederdorf, it looks like [spelling] B-r-i-e-d-e-r--or, B-e-r-d-r-f, and also another man by the name of Hunt, initials of which I don't know, or the first name. They were assigned to the basement, and I think that one of these two men I assigned to the entrance into the basement, or the machinery room.
Mr. Hubert.
There is a word here.
Mr. Dean.
Reserve.
Mr. Hubert.
Oh, that is reserve
Mr. Dean.
This is the page where I started to make some traffic assignments and they changed it, so, I--now, these are the traffic assignments just prior to the movement of Oswald. At Commerce and Pearl I assigned Officer Erwin, initials I don't know. At Commerce and Central, Officer Burton. At Central and Main, Officer Wages. At Central and Elm, Officer Gregory. At Pearl and Elm, Officer Tolbert. At Harwood and Elm, Officer Fox. At St. Paul and Elm, Officer Wise. At Elm and Ervay, shows here Brock. Brock. At Stone and Elm, Officer Raz. Akard and Elm, Officer Hibbs. At Field and Elm, Officer Anderson, and at Lamar and Elm, Officer Ferris. Now, these were just tentative assignments. I think in one of my reports that is already in evidence is the permanent assignments, but these are the originals that I made that afternoon which were tentative.
Now, this is just a note that I had written down from a Bob Stewart. He worked for WRR, and he was giving me some information that he had received. I don't remember from where he had received it, but he stated to me, and I had written it down here, a Serge Fliger, he is with Mutual News in Vienna, Austria, and that in essence now, I can interpret these notes for you, if you would rather.
Mr. Hubert.
Why don't you just read them and then interpret them.

Mr. DEAN. That source of Serge's information from behind the Iron Curtain that a man told him, and he it was a man that he stated that he trusted completely, that there was a group of dissident Russian soldiers, that this whole thing was an international plot, and that the Communists would kill off Oswald as quick as possible.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, with reference to those last few notes about Fliger, what you have read is not exactly what is in the book itself, but it is rather your--
Mr. Dean.
More of an interpretation of my notes, because I had written it rather hurriedly.
Mr. Hubert.
But, let the record show that as I read the notes the interpretation of them seems consistent with what I read.
Mr. Dean.
I believe that is all that is in here, Mr. Hubert. I believe that's all.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, may I ask this; were all those notes that you have just shown to me and read into the record with interpolations written in your own hand?
Mr. Dean.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Were they written at the time that you made the various assignments and so forth ?
Mr. Dean.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
And that includes also that information about that Serge Fliger from Austria?
Mr. Dean.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
All right.
Mr. Dean.
And also, Mr. Griffin wanted me to find, if I could obtain a copy of the regarding a tape recording. It was an interview with radio station KLIF, and this interview took place about 2:30 on November 24.
Mr. Hubert.
2:30 p.m.?
Mr. Dean.
That afternoon. Yes, sir; I do have a copy of that and I have listened to it and it is true and correct to the best of my knowledge, sir.
