shooting when Mayo was stationed in the Main Street ramp that there was a man who came to Mayo, I think, identified himself as Ruby's roommate, and was trying to get in to see Ruby, that being after the shooting. Do you recall that Mayo reported that during the course of the interview ?
Lieutenant REVILL. It seems like I do recall Mayo saying something like that, and I believe he referred this man to Lieutenant Gilmore of the Special Service Bureau. I believe he told me that, but I don't see it here and I don't know why we omitted that, but I think we I do recall him making such a statement. George Senator, I believe he would have been the individual.

Mr. Hubert.

Yes. He described him as having a slight limp, too, I think he said.
Lieutenant REVILL. This, I don't know.

Mr. Hubert.

But, you do not recall right now why it was not made a part of the interview?
Lieutenant REVILL. Just an oversight on my part. It should have been listed here.

Mr. Hubert.

There is one other thing that Mayo states that he told you, which apparently is not in the report, that is about a man and a woman who had been hanging around the Main Street entrance apparently after the shooting. Apparently they were tourists from Springfield, Ill., and they wanted to take some pictures and stated that to you that--
Lieutenant REVILL. No, sir; he did not state this to me.

Mr. Hubert.

As to that episode, then, you do not recall that that was stated to you?
Lieutenant REVILL. I would say that he did not relate this to me.

Mr. Hubert.

Well, as I see the three episodes then, as to the first one regarding the minister, your thought is that he may have stated to you, but you do not remember ?
Lieutenant REVILL. I don't recall.

Mr. Hubert.

Nor do you recall why he omitted it from your report?
Lieutenant REVILL. This might have happened. It was subsequent to this I found a preacher who wanted to talk to Oswald, and he went to Chief Batchelor's office, and.-

Mr. Hubert.

When subsequent to what?
Lieutennat REVILL. Subsequent to the shooting.

Mr. Hubert.

Oh, I see.
Lieutenant REVILL. No, prior to the shooting, and subsequently---he was probably talking to---let's see, he arrived at city hall at 9:30. This preacher's name is Ray Rushing. He is an evangelist, Radio Evangelist.

Mr. Hubert.

And that was reported and the man was interviewed?
Lieutenant REVILL. It was not reported because I myself found this man.

Mr. Hubert.

But-
Lieutenant REVILL There is no report on it, because it is in--it had nothing to do with the shooting. He had gone to Sheriff Decker's office, and Decker referred him to the city thinking that Oswald had not been transferred, so, he came to the city hall and went to the third floor, and--by the way, he rode up on the elevator with Jack Ruby, now--

Mr. Hubert.

This Rushing?
Lieutenant REVILL. Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Rode to the third floor
Lieutenant REVILL. Now, he says this.

Mr. Hubert.

Oh, he says this.
Lieutenant REVILL. Yes, for the past 7 weeks I have been assigned to the district attorney's office, the prosecution of Ruby, running down leads and interviewing witnesses and this preacher was one of the people that we located, and he related this story to me, that he rode up on the elevator with Jack Ruby on the morning of November 24. Mr. Wade did not use this man. He didn't need the testimony, because he had placed Ruby there the morning of the shooting.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, Rushing says that he rode up with Ruby on the morning of the 24th, prior to the shooting?
Lieutenant. REVILL. Yes, sir.
