(Testimony of Joseph Alexander Peterson)

Mr. Peterson.
When we were watching TV.
Mr. Specter.
Where?
Mr. Peterson.
Galveston; in McKennas' home.
Mr. Specter.
Did you recognize Ruby then?
Mr. Peterson.
Oh, yes.
Mr. SPECTER, You could recognize Ruby?
Mr. Peterson.
Couldn't miss it.
Mr. Specter.
What was your reaction on that?
Mr. Peterson.
Shock. Unbelievable, really.
Mr. Specter.
Do you know whether Breck Wall called Phil Burleson from Galveston that day?
Mr. Peterson.
I think he did.
Mr. Specter.
What was the purpose of that call?
Mr. Peterson.
I have no idea.
Mr. Specter.
Did he discuss it with you before he made the call?
Mr. Peterson.
No.
Mr. Specter.
Do you know whether he called Nancy Austin?
Mr. Peterson.
He probably called everybody up when that happened.
Mr. Specter.
Do you know specifically whether the call was to Nancy Austin?
Mr. Peterson.
I think probably. Because of what he saw on the TV and about the show.
Mr. Specter.
Do you know Eddie Parker?
Mr. Peterson.
Oh, yes; he used to work for us backstage at the Adolphus.
Mr. Specter.
Did he ever call him up?
Mr. Peterson.
Probably. In reference to the show because he had connection with Tressler in the show.
Mr. Specter.
Did Mr. Breck Wall call him up?
Mr. Peterson.
He probably did.
Mr. Specter.
What was his purpose?
Mr. Peterson.
In regards to the show.
Mr. Specter.
Do you know a Patricia Farmer?
Mr. Peterson.
No.
Mr. Specter.
Do you know a Clarence Vought?
Mr. Peterson.
A lot of these people I might know when I see them. Breck knows. He is good on names.
Mr. Specter.
The name Clarence Vought doesn't mean anything to you?
Mr. Peterson.
No.
Mr. Specter.
What relatives, if any, does Tom McKenna have in Dallas?
Mr. Peterson.
I don't know anything about them.
Mr. Specter.
Do you know R. D. Matthews?
Mr. Peterson.
No; I don't remember. I might.
Mr. SPECTER, Do you know anything about Jack Ruby's trip to Cuba?
Mr. Peterson.
Nothing. Only thing I know about that is when I read later in the papers.
Mr. Specter.
Did you know a man by the name of Henry Atcheson?
Mr. Peterson.
No.
Mr. Specter.
Or Henry Acteson?
Mr. Peterson.
No. I am saying no to a lot of these. I may know them.
Mr. Specter.
Do you know anything about a telephone call to Mr. Atcheson or Mr. Acteson in Canada back in March of 1964?
Mr. Peterson.
That I made?
Mr. Specter.
Did you ever make such a call?
Mr. Peterson.
Not that I remember.
Mr. Specter.
Did Breck Wall ever make such a call to your knowledge?
Mr. Peterson.
He might have. I don't know. Canada? Only one thing we had to do, that was a man who wanted to buy the show for one night and fly us up there.
Mr. Specter.
What was his name?
Mr. Peterson.
Wohl, W-o-h-l. He got in touch with us about a show.
Mr. Specter.
What part of Canada was he from?
Mr. Peterson.
I don't recollect right now.
Mr. Specter.
What was his first name?
