The testimony of Mitchell J. Scibor was taken on May 20, 1964, at 4540
West Madison Street, Chicago, Ill., by Mr. David W. Belin, assistant
counsel of the President's Commission.
Mitchell J. Scibor, called as a witness herein, having been first duly
sworn, was examined and testified as follows:
Mr. BELIN. Would you please state your name for the record?
Mr. SCIBOR. Mitchell J. Scibor.
Mr. BELIN. And where do you live?
Mr. SCIBOR. 2942 North Sayre Avenue, Chicago, Ill.
Mr. BELIN. What is your occupation?
Mr. SCIBOR. Employed by Klein's Sporting Goods.
Mr. BELIN. In what capacity?
Mr. SCIBOR. General operating manager.
Mr. BELIN. Were you so employed on or about November 22, 1963?
Mr. SCIBOR. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Were you at any time on that date contacted by any law
enforcement agency with regard to a particular rifle, Serial No. C-2766?
Mr. SCIBOR. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. And could you tell us the circumstances surrounding this?
Mr. SCIBOR. I got a call Friday evening, November 22, asking if it
would be possible to get at the records--at our records to see if that
gun had been in our possession or sold by us. I got permission from one
of the executives to open the store and view our records, and I came
down here somewhere between 10 and 11 o'clock.
Mr. BELIN. And what did you do when you got down here?
Mr. SCIBOR. We went in with the Government men and--just before we went
in, Mr. Waldman came down and we came in and he took over as far as
getting--trying to find the information that we needed.
Mr. BELIN. How did you try to find that information?
Mr. SCIBOR. By looking in our microfilm records of sales of merchandise
for that particular gun.
The FBI furnished us with information stating that we had received the
gun from Crescent Firearms.
Mr. BELIN. Well, did you look at the microfilms of your purchasers or
your sales or what?
Mr. SCIBOR. Yes; we used two machines and looked at the microfilms of
our sales until we had found that particular gun with the serial number.
Mr. BELIN. You were upstairs when Mr. Waldman was looking at the
microfilm of which a printed copy is Waldman Deposition Exhibit No. 7;
is that correct?
Mr. SCIBOR. Correct.
Mr. BELIN. And on Waldman Deposition Exhibit No. 7, there is a Serial
No. C-2766?
Mr. SCIBOR. Correct.
Mr. BELIN. Was this serial number on Waldman Deposition Exhibit No. 7
the first contact you had on Friday evening that led you to believe
that you had shipped this particular rifle?
Mr. SCIBOR. That's correct.
Mr. BELIN. When did you discover or find out this information, if you
know--strike the question.
