I asked him if his mother was living, and he said no, that she was
deceased, and that she was born in Poland. That he was of the Jewish
faith.
I asked him if he had an attorney, and he said he had Stanley Kaufman,
a civil attorney, as his attorney. And I recall, I believe that is
about--that about terminated the conversation at that time.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you not ask him why he had the gun with him?
Mr. SORRELS. Oh, yes; I did.
I asked him why he had that gun, and he said that he carried a gun
because of the fact that he carried large quantities of money from his
business, or from the club.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you recall whether he made any comment to you or in your
hearing regarding the way he got into the basement area where he shot
Oswald?
Mr. SORRELS. At that time, I do not. I do not recall asking him how he
got in. I made no notes to that effect.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you remember him saying then anything about that he had
intended to shoot Oswald and had formed that intent as early as Friday?
Mr. SORRELS. No; I did not.
Mr. HUBERT. He did not comment at all about his intent?
Mr. SORRELS. No; nothing except his response to my question as to
“Jack, why?”, and then his relating as I have told you there a moment
ago.
