Mr. Liebeler. Did you think he was an intelligent person?
Mr. Gregory. Fairly.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you think he was capable of performing an act such as an assassination of a President?
Mr. Gregory. Definitely.
Mr. Liebeler. What do you base that opinion on?
Mr. Gregory. Well, he was a Marine; he, as I said, he carried a chip on his shoulder. From the best—from what I have read and so forth, I personally am of the opinion that he assassinated the President.
Mr. Liebeler. Well now, based on your knowledge of him prior to the assassination did you have any reason to believe that he might do such a thing?
Mr. Gregory. Prior to that time, no, sir. I didn't.
Mr. Liebeler. You didn't regard him as a dangerous individual or something of that sort, did you?
Mr. Gregory. Well, I thought he was—I did not think he was an unbalanced person or crazy person or anything like that. I would say he was sort of, I would say I thought he was sort of a peculiar person but I never thought he would do an act like that.
