Mr. QUIGLEY. No, sir.
Mr. STERN. Any detail that you omitted that you now think of?
Mr. QUIGLEY. No, sir.
Mr. DULLES. Are you quite sure he said to you that about 4 months ago
he and his wife Marina Oswald, named Prossa, whom he met and married in
Fort Worth, moved to New Orleans?
Mr. QUIGLEY. Well, these are not his direct words, sir. This is the
substance of what he told me; yes. This is accurate. This is my own
phraseology.
Mr. DULLES. I understand.
Mr. McCLOY. One other thing. I have to leave shortly to go to lunch,
but on page 7 of this report you described these membership cards.
Mr. QUIGLEY. Yes, sir.
Mr. McCLOY. Did he have the membership cards in his possession at that
time?
Mr. QUIGLEY. Yes, sir; he did, sir.
Mr. McCLOY. You saw them?
Mr. QUIGLEY. Yes, sir; I did, sir. I think the last you will notice, in
that last sentence he had in his possession both cards and exhibited
both of them.
Mr. McCLOY. Right. One of them was, at least one of them, was signed A.
Hidell?
Mr. QUIGLEY. Yes, sir; that is correct.
Mr. McCLOY. Do we have those cards?
Mr. STERN. I believe we do. I do not have them here.
Mr. McCLOY. But it is important to have them because the name Hidell
was in the handwriting--but these are membership cards purporting to be
membership cards in the Fair Play for Cuba organization.
Would you be able to identify these cards if you saw them, Mr. Quigley,
as the ones that were shown in Oswald's possession exhibited to you?
Mr. QUIGLEY. I don't believe I could truthfully say if you showed me a
card, these two cards now that those were the identical ones.
From the description and the data that I have recorded I could say they
were similar.
Mr. McCLOY. All right.
Mr. QUIGLEY. I don't just feel I could identify them. Bear this in
mind, sir; this material was evidence as far as the New Orleans Police
Department was concerned at the time, we couldn't take this material.
Mr. McCLOY. I understand.
Mr. DULLES. Did you say that some of it was turned over to the Secret
Service?
Mr. QUIGLEY. No, sir; not to my knowledge.
Mr. DULLES. Not this material?
Mr. QUIGLEY. Not to my knowledge, sir.
Mr. STERN. Did Oswald answer all the questions you put to him in the
course of your interview?
Mr. QUIGLEY. I am sorry.
Mr. STERN. Did Oswald answer all the questions you put to him in the
course of your interview?
Mr. QUIGLEY. No; he did not answer all of them.
Mr. STERN. Do you recall the nature of the questions he didn't want to
answer or he evaded?
(At this point Mr. McCloy left the hearing room.)
Mr. QUIGLEY. When I began asking him specific details with respect to
his activities in the Fair Play for Cuba Committee in New Orleans as
to where meetings were held, who was involved, what occurred, he was
reticent to furnish information, reluctant and actually as far as I was
concerned, was completely evasive on them.
Mr. STERN. Did he tell you why he had requested the interview?
Mr. QUIGLEY. No; he did not, sir.
Mr. STERN. Did you form any impression as to why he had requested the
interview?
Mr. QUIGLEY. Well, he was in police custody at the time, involved in a
disturbing of the peace charge, was becoming involved in a fight with
three Cubans on the street in the distribution of Fair Play for Cuba
literature. I felt that he was probably making a self-serving statement
in attempting to explain to me why he was distributing this literature,
and for no other reason, and when I got to questioning him further then
he felt that his purpose had been served and he wouldn't say anything
further.
Mr. STERN. Why do you think it might have been important for him to
explain to you what he was doing----
