Mr. BRIAN. Yes, sir.
Mr. DULLES. Near point "B" is where this conversation took place.
Mr. BRIAN. Yes, sir.
Mr. DULLES. And you did not hear the content of any further
conversations?
Mr. BRIAN. No, sir; other than that he said he knew he was a Communist
and knew he was working in the Book Depository.
Mr. DULLES. Did further conversations take place between Lieutenant
Revill and Agent Hosty after that?
Mr. BRIAN. Yes, sir; they walked on talking.
Mr. DULLES. But you did not hear what they said at that time?
Mr. BRIAN. I was behind them and Lieutenant Revill got in a hurry when
that happened and they got on and I was behind them, and it is pretty
hard to hear what people are saying in front of you when they have got
their back turned to you and you are behind them.
Mr. DULLES. You have indicated that in paragraph 3 of Exhibit 7. You
say, "While we were in the basement Hosty also said several things to
Lieutenant Revill that I could not hear," because of the excitement and
commotion, that is what you had reference to?
Mr. BRIAN. Yes, sir; they were conversing as they walked on and I
couldn't hear them and I didn't hear what they said, I was behind them.
I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to the whole thing because like
I say I didn't think it would matter any. It was just--and things were
happening pretty fast, and along about that time.
Mr. DULLES. That is all I have, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. RANKIN. Mr. Chairman, I would like to offer the diagram, Exhibit
839, if I may.
The CHAIRMAN. Yes, all right; it may be admitted under that number.
Thank you very much.
(At this point Representative Ford left the hearing room.)
(Commission Exhibit No. 839 was marked for identification and received
in evidence.)
Mr. DULLES. That is the original before the notary public put his
endorsement on it.
Mr. BRIAN. Yes, sir; that went forward.
The CHAIRMAN. Thank you.
Mr. RANKIN. Mr. Chief Justice, Mr. Specter is going to examine these
people about the velocity and so forth and I want to speak on--speak to
him just a minute about the matter we talked about.
The CHAIRMAN. We will take a break now.
(Recess.)
