(Testimony of Daniel Patrick Powers)

Mr. Powers.
a move or something, and he, as I recall now, he would say "Come on; let's get going." And he seemed to be an individual that was---wanted to keep things moving at quite a rapid pace.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you have any impression that he had a tendency--maybe I asked you this--to keep by himself?
Mr. Powers.
For himself to keep by himself?
Mr. Jenner.
To keep by himself.
Mr. Powers.
I don't know. I don't think I can truthfully answer that because---
Mr. Jenner.
You don't think you had enough contact with him in Japan because he was not a member of your platoon?
Mr. Powers.
That's correct.
Mr. Jenner.
In an FBI interview, did you express the opinion that he was resentful of authority? Do you still hold that view?
Mr. Powers.
He probably was not resentful to authority; he was resentful of the position of authority that he could not command, not of the authority itself, I believe.
Mr. Jenner.
I see.
Mr. Powers.
It didn't make a difference who was administering--rather what the authority was, it was probably the individual administering it probably.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you remember a marine by the name of Delgado?
Mr. Powers.
I can't say that I do; no, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Thornley?
Mr. Powers.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
You mentioned Murphy.
Mr. Powers.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
What was Murphy's first name, do you recall?
Mr. Powers.
Jim Murphy. I don't think that was it either; I'm not sure.
Mr. Jenner.
A marine by the name of----
Mr. Power.
We used to call him Murph.
Mr. Jenner.
Murray?
Mr. Powers.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
Osborne?
Mr. Powers.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Shoemaker?
Mr. Powers.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Call?
Mr. Powers.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Botelho?
Mr. Power.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
That may have been pronounced Botelho. Did he spend any time listening to records, classical music, and that sort of thing?
Mr. Powers.
Not that I recall; no, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you ever have any discussions with him or were there any discussions in your presence at the same time that he was present about religion?
Mr. Powers.
I don't recall.
Mr. Jenner.
Botelho's full name was James Anthony Botelho; Call's full name was Richard Dennis Call. You mentioned Camarata, Donald P. Camarata?
Mr. Powers.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And do you remember a marine by the name of Peter Cassisi?
Mr. Powers.
No, sir; I don't. If I saw the face, I could probably recall.
Mr. Jenner.
A fellow by the name of Peter Francis Connor?
Mr. Powers.
Yes; I recall that name.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you remember a commanding officer at Santa Ana by the name of John E. Donovan?
Mr. Powers.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you remember a marine by the name of John Heindel?
Mr. Powers.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Sometimes called Hidell? This is Atsugi now.
Mr. Powers.
No.
