Then Captain Fritz mentioned the X at the intersection of Elm and
Houston.
Well, he said, "That is the location of the Texas School Depository and
I did go there and interview for a job. In fact, I got a job there." He
said, "That is all the map amounts to."
Mr. BELIN. Is there anything else about that aspect of the
interrogation?
Mr. HOLMES. I believe not.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember Inspector Kelley asking Oswald about his
religious views?
Mr. HOLMES. Yes. Someone, and I don't recall who, asked the first
question on that, but you got that Lenin business in there.
Mr. BELIN. I am deliberately asking you these questions before we get
to your memorandum, and I am just trying to get your memory first.
Mr. HOLMES. All right. Someone asked him about what his beliefs were,
and he said, "Well," about him being a Communist something. Someone
referred to his communism, and he said, "I am not a Communist. I am a
Marxist." And they said, what is the difference between Communist and
Marxist, and he said, "Well, a Communist is a Lenin Marxist, and I am a
true Karl Marxist."
So, this Secret Service inspector asked, "What religion are you?" In
other words, I mean, "What faith are you, as far as religion?" And he
said, "I have no faith." And then he said, "I suppose you mean the
Bible."
"Yes, that is right."
"Well," he said, "I have read the Bible. It is fair reading, but
not very interesting. But, as a matter of fact, I am a student of
philosophy and I don't consider the Bible as even a reasonable or
intelligent philosophy. I don't think much of it," he said.
Mr. BELIN. Did anyone there ask him if Cuba would be better off since
the President was assassinated? Do you remember anything about that?
Mr. HOLMES. I don't recall a question on that.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember anyone asking him a question about the
rifle, or there was a picture of Oswald holding a rifle. Do you
remember anything about that?
Mr. HOLMES. Yes. They said, "We have a picture of you
holding"--actually it came up before then in an interrogation of him
about this rifle that came to this post office box.
