(Testimony of Roger D. Craig)

Mr. Craig.
No; I don't believe---not while. I was there.
Mr. Belin.
Did the suspect say anything more?
Mr. Craig.
Not that I recall
Mr. Belin.
Did you say anything about that it was a Rambler station wagon there?
Mr. Craig.
In the presence of the suspect?
Mr. Belin.
Yes.
Mr. Craig.
No.

Mr. BELIN. You don't know whether Captain Fritz said anything to the suspect about this incident before you came, do you?
Mr. Craig.
No; I don't.

Mr. BELIN. Is there anything else that you can think of involving this interrogation at which you were present?
Mr. CRAIG. No. Nothing else was said after that point. I then left and give 'my name to the---uh---Secret Service agent and the FBI agent that was outside the office.
Mr. BELIN. Anything else in connection with the assassination that you think might be important that we haven't discussed here?
Mr. CRAIG. No; except--uh--except for the fact that it came out later that Mrs. Paine does own a station wagon and--uh--it has a luggage rack on top. And this came out, of course, later, after I got back to the office. I didn't know about this. Buddy Walthers brought it up. I believe they went by the house and the car was parked in the driveway.
Mr. Belin.
Anything else you can think of?
Mr. Craig.
No. That's all. I forgot about it and went back to work.
Mr. Belin.
Now, prior to the time we had your deposition taken, we chatted for a few minutes about some of these things--is that correct?
Mr. Craig.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
For instance, we talked about your conversation with this young couple this Arnold Rowland and his wife?
Mr. Craig.
Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Is there anything that we said before the deposition was taken that we haven't recorded here?
Mr. Craig.
I don't believe so.
Mr. BELIN. Is there anything that I said or you said in our conversation that is different from anything that was recorded here---to the best of your recollection?
Mr. CRAIG. No; except you asked me before, I believe, did I talk to any of the railroad employees.
Mr. Belin.
That's right.
Mr. Craig.
And I said, "No"--which I did not.
Mr. Belin.
Anything else?
Mr. Craig.
(Pausing before reply.) No---nothing that I recall.
Mr. Belin.
In our conversation, did you just relate to me what your story was before we sat down to take the deposition?
Mr. Craig.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Will you agree to follow or to waive signing of the deposition and leave it in the Court Reporter's hands or do you want to sign it?
Mr. Craig.
It makes no difference to me.
Mr. BELIN. By the way, you had notice of this, did you not, of this taking of this deposition?
Mr. Craig.
Yes. I have the letter right here in my pocket.
Mr. Belin.
All right. Anything else you can thing of, sir?
Mr. Craig.
No.
Mr. BELIN. Well, we want to thank you for taking your time to come down here and we appreciate your cooperation. We would appreciate your, also, thanking Sheriff Decker for us, if you would, when you get back there.
Mr. Craig.
Okay.
Mr. Belin.
Thank you very much.
One other thing before you go, Mr. Craig. We might have covered this before, but I want to doublecheck it.
