Mr. HUBERT. That it would be better. What we are seeking to find out is
the facts on it.
Captain MARTIN. I understand.
Mr. HUBERT. If what you have to say is more or less a matter of
opinion, that is one thing. I don't want to ask you to express your
opinion, but any facts you know that you think might bear upon this
matter, I would ask that you state those facts.
Captain MARTIN. Well, there is not but one thing that I could say about
the whole business. Of course, we are not experienced in handling this
sort of a prisoner. I don't guess anybody is, as far as that goes,
but the way I saw it, there was no organization at all. I didn't know
who was in charge or anything about it. I don't guess anybody--either
people should have been told something--what to do and what to expect.
We weren't----
Mr. HUBERT. All right, sir. Have you any other facts that you think
have any bearing upon----
Captain MARTIN. No, no; I don't think so. I think it is more or less in
that report there [indicating].
Mr. HUBERT. That is to say, you are talking about the documents you
have identified?
Captain MARTIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, other than the interview that I had with you this
morning, have you been interviewed by any member of the Commission
staff?
Captain MARTIN. No, no.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, but I did interview you this morning just prior to
lunch, I think at which time we arranged for you to come to have your
deposition taken.
Captain MARTIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you perceive at the present time any inconsistency
between the interview with me this morning and your testimony in the
deposition this afternoon?
Captain MARTIN. No, no. It is about the same.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you state anything, or provide any material, state any
facts in the course of the interview this morning which has not been
developed in the record this afternoon?
Captain MARTIN. I don't recall anything. If there is any you can think
of, you can ask me and I will bring it out, but I don't recall a thing.
Mr. HUBERT. No, sir; I don't. I am just obliged to ask these questions
to wrap it up.
Captain MARTIN. Uh-huh.
Mr. HUBERT. We certainly thank you, Captain Martin, and I thank you
personally and on behalf of the Commission for your cooperation in this
matter. If at any time, if you know that there are some other facts
that you may have overlooked, please feel completely free to get in
touch with us so that we may find out what that fact may be. In other
words, it is never too late to reveal a fact which has been omitted as
a lapse of memory.
Captain MARTIN. I don't know of a thing right now.
Mr. HUBERT. Thank you very much.
