Mr. HUBERT. That is Dallas?
Captain JONES. I left Dallas about 7:30 on Thanksgiving morning and got
back in town at 8 o'clock that night. Drove to Shreveport, spent 4 or 5
hours with my father and ate lunch and came back. They called for me by
the time I got there.
Mr. HUBERT. And you were not on the special committee to investigate
security until that time?
Captain JONES. When I returned, went to Chief Stevenson's house that
night. He told me what they had in mind. I reported for that the
morning following Thanksgiving, Friday morning.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, Captain, is there anything else you want to state
concerning the facts, in your deposition this morning?
Captain JONES. I can think of no other at this time, Mr. Hubert. I only
wish there was some definite facts I could give you, and wish I could
have been more definite in my answers, but I can think of no other
right now. We have covered the situation pretty thoroughly.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, have you been interviewed by any member of the
Commission, other than myself?
Captain JONES. No, sir; I'm sure I haven't. I mean I would remember
that.
Mr. HUBERT. I mean, you have been interviewed by me prior to the
commencement of this deposition, isn't that correct?
Captain JONES. We went over the details briefly a while ago; yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. And that was this morning?
Captain JONES. That was this morning; yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, can you tell me whether you observed any
inconsistencies between the interview that you had with me this morning
and your testimony in this deposition?
Captain JONES. I am not aware of any, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Have you provided any material information in that
interview with me this morning which has not been talked about in the
record of this deposition today?
Captain JONES. I don't know of any, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. I think that is all, sir. Captain, if you have anything
else to say----
Captain JONES. I will be happy--if there is anything that I can say
that will shed some light on the truth, that's what I want, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Is there anything at all that you haven't said to me, or
during the interview, or during any statements that you may have made
to anybody which you would like to say now?
Captain JONES. I can think of none--I got--I told you the facts as I
know them. The book that the Commission has, has a copy of--has the
conclusions that were reached by our Committee, and those are just
opinions based on our investigation of it and certainly we do have
opinion on it but I have tried to stay away from my opinion, and--I
will answer any questions in the future that you or any member of your
Commission wants to know.
Mr. HUBERT. Thank you very much. Let me say that if you should think of
anything that has been omitted please feel free to call upon me or any
member of the Commission staff to convey that information.
Once again I thank you personally and on behalf of the Commission.
Captain JONES. Thank you.
Mr. HUBERT. Just a moment.
(Discussion off the record.)
Mr. HUBERT. Let me say that I am recommencing this deposition about a
minute after it finished. You are still under the same oath, of course,
that you were before.
Captain JONES. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. I think that you did prepare, or it was prepared under
your supervision, a chart, or diagram that showed the basement area,
and by the use of circles and identifying code showed the positions of
individuals.
Captain JONES. Yes, sir; that was prepared under my direction by an
officer and places people who were not available to our office in this
city, where they were placed by the statements, or statements of people
who were nearby and said they were there. That was to the best of our
ability to determine where they were at the time.
Mr. HUBERT. As I recall it, that was quite a large chart, wasn't it?
Captain JONES. The original that they made.
Mr. HUBERT. And it showed the positions of people like that by circles
in which numbers were----
Captain JONES. Were numbered.
Mr. HUBERT. And I think you used a color as well?
Captain JONES. Color to denote the occupation.
