Mr. BELIN. Was he wearing glasses or not?
Mr. SCOGGINS. No.
Mr. BELIN. Pardon?
Mr. SCOGGINS. No.
Mr. BELIN. That he had on?
Mr. SCOGGINS. No.
Mr. BELIN. Anything else you remember about him, the color of his shoes?
Mr. SCOGGINS. No, I can't say that.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember any jewelry he might have had on?
Mr. SCOGGINS. No.
Mr. BELIN. You say you went down to the police station when, Mr.
Scoggins, approximately?
Mr. SCOGGINS. You mean the time of day it was?
Mr. BELIN. Was it the same day of the shooting or the next day?
Mr. SCOGGINS. No, it was the next day.
Mr. BELIN. Morning, afternoon, or evening, if you remember?
Mr. SCOGGINS. Well, the best I can remember, they called me down from
the cab stand, the police came down to the office and picked me up.
Well, the other guy--I was close to the downtown area, and it didn't
take me long to get there, and I waited quite a while before the other
man, he was quite out a ways, and it was before dinner.
Mr. BELIN. It was before dinner?
Mr. SCOGGINS. Yes, whenever they called me in.
Mr. BELIN. Would it have been on the afternoon of November 23, to the
best of your recollection?
Mr. SCOGGINS. When they took me down there it was along about dinner
time.
Representative FORD. What do you mean by dinner time? In various parts
of the country dinner and supper get confused a little bit. Was it the
noon meal or the evening meal?
Mr. SCOGGINS. Yes.
Representative FORD. Yes what? It was the noon meal?
Mr. SCOGGINS. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. They took you down about the time of the noon meal, is that
correct; they took you to the police station?
Mr. SCOGGINS. I would think that would be about the time.
Mr. BELIN. Sometime after you got there after the noon meal you saw the
lineup, is that correct?
Mr. SCOGGINS. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. How many people were in the lineup, if you can remember?
Mr. SCOGGINS. Four.
Mr. BELIN. Four? Did any one of the people look anything like--strike
that. Did you identify anyone in the lineup?
Mr. SCOGGINS. I identified the one we are talking about, Oswald. I
identified him.
Mr. BELIN. You didn't know his name as Oswald at that time, did you, or
did you not?
Mr. SCOGGINS. Yes, the next day I did. But, of course I didn't know
what his name was the day that I picked him out.
Mr. BELIN. You saw a man in the lineup?
Mr. SCOGGINS. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Did anyone tell you any particular man was Oswald in the
lineup?
Mr. SCOGGINS. No.
Mr. BELIN. Well, describe what happened in the police station with
regard to the lineup, what they did to you, what they said to you, and
what you said to them, and so on.
Mr. SCOGGINS. Well, they had the four men up there in the lineup, and
before they brought them in they told us what they wanted us to do, to
look them over and be sure we was, in our estimation, we was right on
the man, and which one it was, the one that we saw, the one that I saw.
Mr. BELIN. Did they tell you one of the men was the man you saw or not,
or did they tell you "See if you can"--just what did they say? Did they
say "Here is a lineup, see if you can identify anyone," or did they
say, "One of the men in the lineup"----
