Now, as to the second thing that Mayo told you. To wit, about Ruby's roommate who may or may not be Senator, you do recall that he said that, but you don't know why it was left out of the-- .
Lieutenant REVILL. It was an oversight. It seems as though I do recall him telling me something about that, and that he referred this man to Lieutenant Gilmore, who was assigned to the special service section.

Mr. Hubert.

The third thing, that man and wife from Springfield, Ill., you have no recollection of that?
Lieutenant REVILL. No, sir; no recollection whatsoever.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you recall interviewing Pat Dean?
Lieutenant REVILL. Sergeant Dean? No. sir; I did not interview Sergeant Dean.

Mr. Hubert.

Or Archer?
Lieutenant REVILL No, sir; these interviews were conducted by Lieutenant McCaghren and Wallace. Now, Dean, being a uniformed officer, he might have been interviewed by Captain Westbrook.

Mr. Hubert.

Your function was to find out how Ruby got into the
Lieutenant REVILL. Basement. This basement; yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

When did you first learn of Ruby's version that he came in the Main Street entrance?
Lieutenant REVILL. When I first learned it? I read it in the newspaper.

Mr. Hubert.

You didn't know it on the 24th ?
Lieutenant REVILL. No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Of course, actually, you hadn't been assigned the job
Lieutenant REVILL. No, sir; no, sir. What happened, my people were the people, the detectives assigned to my unit and myself were assigned to the Trade Mart, where Mr. Kennedy was to speak. Upon hearing of the shooting, three of us, or four of us, went to the Texas School Book Depository and started a systematical search and there were many, many officers present at that time. I made a report to Chief Lumpkin naming all of the officers that I could recall being there. This was on a Friday. The following Saturday, the next day, we were to locate witnesses. People who were employed at the School Book Depository, get them and bring them to Captain Fritz' office. This took all day. Saturday night we terminated and went home approximately 8 o'clock. The next morning none of us were assigned to duty. Now, by that I mean the intelligence unit. I was at home and I saw the shooting on television and from there I got a phone call to report to Mayor Cabell's home, because there had been a threat on his life. I went to Washington with Mr. Cabell that night and got back the next day.

Mr. Hubert.

You haven't, then, spoken to Dean at all about how Ruby got into the basement or how Ruby, says he got into the basement?
Lieutenant REVILL I am sure I have discussed it with him, but as far as a formal interview; no.

Mr. Hubert.

But, in any case, your first knowledge didn't come from any particular individual, but from the newspaper? Lieutenant REVILL. Newspaper.

Mr. Hubert.

In your discussion with Dean, do you recall whether he stated to you how he found out about Ruby's alleged entry through the Main Street ramp ?
Lieutenant REVILL. No, sir; I do not.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you know the reserve officer by the name of Holly?
Lieutenant REVEL. Holly? Yes, sir; I talked to Mr. Holly.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you recall the nature of the conversation?
Lieutenant REVILL Yes, sir; I do.

Mr. Hubert.

Would you tell us about it, please?
Lieutenant REVILL. If I may find the report.

Mr. Hubert.

There is an index there.
Lieutenant REVILL. Yes; and they are filed alphabetically. Ordinarily I can find it probably easier this way. Holly, yes, Holly was interviewed and he stated-that he had been assigned to a traffic corner and after the shooting occurred he was reassigned to Parkland Hospital, and that while there some
