Mr. HUBERT. Right at the corner, and looking toward Main Street, did
you have occasion to observe how many people were in that area just
shortly before the shooting?
Sergeant STEELE. Well, 15 minutes would be as close as I could go,
and at that time only probably 10 or 12, kind of milling around.
Reporters, television people walking back and forth and that sort of
thing.
Mr. HUBERT. You left the building about 11?
Sergeant STEELE. Approximately 11; yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know what kind of car Jack Ruby drives?
Sergeant STEELE. No. Years ago seems to me like he had a Buick, but
that was years ago when I was a patrolman and it has been over 5 years.
I think he had a Buick at that time.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, you have not been interviewed by me or any member of
the Commission's staff prior to this deposition tonight, have you, sir?
Sergeant STEELE. No.
Mr. HUBERT. All right. Have you anything else you wish to add?
Sergeant STEELE. I guess I ought to mention this officer who was with
me during all of this.
Mr. HUBERT. Who was that?
Sergeant STEELE. J. F. Harrison.
Mr. HUBERT. By the way, I meant to ask you, you have read those
statements?
Sergeant STEELE. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. I'll mark the one dated November 25, 1963, addressed to
Chief of Police Curry, apparently the original was signed by you, by
placing on that document, "Dallas, Texas, March 25th, 1964. Exhibit
5098. Deposition of D. F. Steele," and mark my name below it, and I
have marked another document which purports to be an interview by FBI
Agents Robertson and Scott of you on December 3, 1963, by marking the
first page, "Dallas, Texas, March 25th, 1964, Exhibit 5097, deposition
of D. F. Steele." And I sign my name. On the second page of the
document I have placed my initials on the bottom of the right-hand
corner of the page. I would like to ask you if you have read those, and
if those statements are correct?
Sergeant STEELE. I have read them. The only thing that I would say, in
paragraph--this would be No. 6. Let's see. One, two, three, four, five,
be paragraph No. 6.
