Mr. SORRELS. With Wade.
Mr. SMITH. With Wade?
Mr. SORRELS. That is right. But I think--can this be off the record?
Mr. HUBERT. I would rather it go on.
Mr. SORRELS. All right. We will have it on the record. I have had
other conversations with Mr. Griffin subsequent to that time, and
personally when he was there at Dallas, in which I believe that there
was some question about that statement. But as I recall it now, the
first conversation over the telephone was specifically about the ramp
incident. And I remember him emphasizing that. And I recall if such a
statement was said I don’t remember it, and I just don’t believe it was
said in my presence.
Mr. HUBERT. In regard to the conversation with Mr. Griffin in Dallas,
do you recall a conversation which I think I can specifically state
would have been on the morning of Wednesday, March 25--that is to say
the morning after Dean had been deposed. And let it be noted that Dean
was deposed on the night of March 24. Do you remember a conversation
with Mr. Griffin about what Dean had said then, and that you then told
Mr. Griffin what your version of it was, and had in fact--he asked you
to prepare a memorandum or something for him, so that there would be a
record of what he had told him?
Mr. SORRELS. Along about this same thing?
Mr. HUBERT. Yes, about this same matter, revolving around Dean and
Dean’s testimony about what Ruby had said.
Mr. SORRELS. I remember that there was a conversation. It seems like
I do have a recollection. It slipped my mind. But since you mention
something about a memo--and you left rather suddenly, Mr. Griffin, as I
recall it, right after that.
Mr. HUBERT. That is on the 27th? The question is--you have not written
a memo?
Mr. SORRELS. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Was there any reason why?
Mr. SORRELS. No. As a matter of fact, it just slipped my mind, I guess,
because I cannot recall now just exactly what the memo was. But since
he mentioned that, it seems I do recall something about something I
told him, and he said, “Write me a memo about it.”
Mr. HUBERT. Was Inspector Kelley present during your interrogation of
Oswald on Sunday morning for about 15 or 20 minutes, I think you said?
Mr. SORRELS. I don’t believe so. He might have been. But I don’t recall
that he was there.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, you have already testified that you and Mr. Kelley
went to Mr. Batchelor’s office after Oswald left on Sunday morning.
Mr. SORRELS. It is my recollection that we did go there together.
Mr. HUBERT. Was anybody else there?
Mr. SORRELS. If we didn’t, I met him up there.
Mr. HUBERT. Was anybody else there?
Mr. SORRELS. At the interview?
Mr. HUBERT. No, when you left, when Oswald left to go down to the
basement, you testified that you went with somebody, I think it was Tom
Kelley--went into Batchelor’s office and looked out to watch the scene.
Mr. SORRELS. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. I think that was Tom Kelley there. Was anyone else there?
Mr. SORRELS. There was a number of officers around there.
