(Testimony of Harold R. Fuqua)

Mr. Hubert.
Did he take them with him--put it this way; did he have to use the key to open that door?
Mr. Fuqua.
Yes; he would have to use a key.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he lock it back up again?
Mr. Fuqua.
Yes; he locked it.
Mr. Hubert.
How do you know?
Mr. Fuqua.
You See, lots of times I do work, and I believe I remember him shaking it, you know, shake it to see if it is locked, because it is strict to keep it closed on weekends.
Mr. Hubert.
What did you have to do to close it after you had gone through the door and were standing in the alleyway area? How do you lock it then?
Mr. Fuqua.
I don't know whether you exactly--whether you can fix it so it will lock when you pull it.
Mr. Hubert.
Or do you have to turn the key?
Mr. Fuqua.
Right. I don't know.
Mr. Hubert.
But, you say you do remember him shaking the door?
Mr. Fuqua.
Right.
Mr. Hubert.
After you all had passed through the door?
Mr. Fuqua.
Right.
Mr. Hubert.
You didn't try the door yourself?
Mr. Fuqua.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
But, from what you were able to see, he was shaking it as a person would do Just testing to see if a door is closed?
Mr. Fuqua.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
And it seemed now to be closed?
Mr. Fuqua.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, I am showing you a document which purports to be a report of an interview with you by FBI Agent Jack Peden, and I'm marking it for identification as follows: "Dallas, Tex., April 1, 1964, Exhibit 5134, Deposition of Harold Fuqua," and signing my name to it. The document consists of two pages, and I'm putting my initials on the lower right-hand corner of the second page. Now, in order- that the record may show that we are both speaking of the same document when you testify in a moment about this document, I would like you to place your signature near mine on the first page, and your initials near mine on the second page, please.
Mr. Fuqua.
Now, say this again, now.
Mr. Hubert.
On that first page----
Mr. Fuqua.
Just put my first--my signature here?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes; just your signature. I note that you are putting your signature above and to the right of the inscription I have put on there, that is all right. Would you put your initials on the second page, please.
Now have you read that document consisting of two pages and identified as 5134?
Mr. Fuqua.
I have read it outside.
Mr. Hubert.
Is that correct?
Mr. Fuqua.
Yes, sir; everything that I know that is on here is correct.
Mr. Hubert.
Are you willing to state to us now that between the statement and your deposition which you have Just given that you have said all that you knowabout this matter altogether?
Mr. Fuqua.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
And that if the Commission takes that statement, Exhibit 5134, and your deposition that they will have everything you know about this whole matter?
Mr. Fuqua.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
All right, sir. Have you been interviewed by any member of the Commission, to your knowledge, prior to this?
Mr. Fuqua.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Was there an interview between you and me prior to this?
Mr. Fuqua.
Were you the one that called me on the telephone?
Mr. Hubert.
No, sir. Someone called you on the telephone?
Mr. Fuqua.
Yes, sir; I guess. Called me on the telephone and told me when to be down here.
