(Instrument referred to marked by the reporter as "Potts Exhibit A,"
for identification.)
Mr. POTTS. You can have that if you would like.
Mr. BALL. This will be two exhibits--A-1 and A-2.
(The instruments referred to marked by the reporter as "Potts Exhibits
A-l and A-2," for identification.)
Mr. BALL. Did you ask Mrs. Johnson whether or not she had ever seen the
holster before?
Mr. POTTS. I don't recall asking her that.
Mr. BALL. Did you ever ask Mrs. Earlene Roberts if she had seen the
holster before?
Mr. POTTS. I don't recall talking to her about that. They weren't too
familiar with what was in that room. I didn't talk to them too much
about it.
Mr. BALL. You recovered a Dallas city map, too, didn't you?
Mr. POTTS. Yes, sir; that had some markings on it in pencil.
Mr. BALL. All right, go ahead.
Mr. POTTS. There was a red notebook there that had a lot of names in it
and addresses in it and a lot of Russian writing--and it had a diagram
of the Red Square in there, I suppose, that's what it looked like to
me. I suppose that's what it was, but, of course, it was all written in
Russian and about half of that book I didn't understand.
Mr. BALL. You brought all of this property to the city hall?
Mr. POTTS. Yes; we did.
Mr. BALL. And you made the inventory we have had marked here as
"Exhibits A-1 and A-2"?
Mr. POTTS. Yes; Mr. Moore and Turner and I compiled it.
Mr. BALL. Now, on that same day, did you do anything more?
Mr. POTTS. Let me say--later on in the afternoon--we worked the rest of
that night, up until--I don't recall what time I did leave there--it
was pretty late.
Mr. BALL. I have here a document which has been marked as "Commission
Exhibit No. 426." Did you find this document at the 1026 North Beckley
address that day, do you remember?
Mr. POTTS. I recall seeing this; yes, I do. I don't know which one of
the officers picked it up.
Mr. BALL. Do you remember where it was?
Mr. POTTS. No; I don't.
Mr. BALL. Do--you don't know where it was kept?
Mr. POTTS. No, sir.
Mr. BALL. But was it brought from the room?
Mr. POTTS. Yes; it was--here's my initial in the right hand corner, and
here is Mr. Moore's.
Mr. BALL. What does that initial mean?
