(Testimony of John P. Adamcik)

Mr. Adamcik.
that came about at all. All I remember is that we were told to go to this address. I don't even remember whether we had a name, a definite name. We were told to go to this address, that this was the address he had on his person, or something similar to that, and we did what we were told.
Mr. Belin.
About what time was this?
Mr. Adamcik.
This was approximately 2:30. Could I use my report?
Mr. Belin.
Sure. You take your report out and refresh your recollection.
Mr. Adamcik.
I have it on here, the times mainly. This would be approximately 2:30.
Mr. Belin.
All right, did you have a search warrant when you went out there?
Mr. Adamcik.
No, sir; we did not.
Mr. Belin.
Any particular reason why you didn't?
Mr. Adamcik.
Well, at the time, we didn't know what we would find. We didn't have any idea what this address meant to us, and we were mainly going over to see who was there.
We decided if we were not allowed in the house, invited in, that we could get a search warrant later to go in, whereas at the time we didn't have any idea that that address actually had any connection with these people or with Oswald.
Mr. Belin.
Who did you go with?
Mr. Adamcik.
I went with Detectives Rose and Stovall, and we were met by three county officers there at the scene before we went up, because being out of the city limits of Dallas, we had three county officers go along with us, because it was in their jurisdiction.
Mr. Belin.
What time did you get there?
Mr. Adamcik.
I would say that it didn't take us over, it probably took us half an hour to get there. I would say it would be approximately 3 o'clock.
Mr. Belin.
What did you do when you got there?
Mr. Adamcik.
We waited a few minutes for the county officers to get there, and when they got there we came outside, and I went with one of the county officers or two of the county officers to the back door, and one of the county officers and Detectives Rose and Stovall went to the front door.
Mr. Belin.
Then what did you do?
Mr. Adamcik.
We waited until Detectives Rose and Stovall and the county officers got inside the house, which was a period of time of maybe 3 or 4 minutes when they were invited in, and they came to the back door and opened it up and asked us to come in.
Mr. Belin.
Who asked you to come in?
Mr. Adamcik.
Detectives Rose and Stovall, plus--because Mrs. Paine was in the house at the time standing next to them.
Mr. Belin.
Then what did you do?
Mr. Adamcik.
Well, we started looking around the house, I think Detectives Rose and Stovall handled most of the interrogation. They asked the questions of Mrs. Paine, and Mrs. Oswald, after we found out who they were and I didn't do any interrogating at the time at all, I just sort of stood and listened, and we started looking around.
We asked them where Mr. Oswald was, and various things, and we looked around.
Mr. Belin.
What did Mrs. Oswald say about whether or not you could see her room?
Mr. Adamcik.
She never did say anything at all. In fact, she showed us where the room was and showed us several things in the room.
Mr. Belin.
What did Mrs. Paine do?
Mr. Adamcik.
She didn't object at all. They were really very cooperative.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember what the interrogation was? Who said what?
Mr. Adamcik.
No; I don't recall. I assume it was, you know, they asked her who she was.
Mr. Belin.
Did anyone ask when was the last time they saw Lee Harvey Oswald?
Mr. Adamcik.
Oh, yes; I heard it asked.
Mr. Belin.
What was the answer given, if you remember?
