Mr. Rankin. Who were they?
Mr. Curry. I believe Dean was present, Sergeant Dean, I don't know who these officers were but it is revealed in these reports that have been made.
Mr. Rankin. Yes.
Mr. Curry. Sorrels told me, he said, "I asked Ruby why he did it and he said somebody had to kill the son-of-a-bitch and the police department couldn't do it."
I believe he also said, "I couldn't think, stand the thought of having Jacqueline Kennedy having to return to Dallas and go through a trial for him." I told him this was not for the Secret Service or not for publication, I just asked him the question but he said, "I did not warn him against himself, about his constitutional rights, so I don't know that I would be allowed to testify to this."
Mr. Rankin. When did Sorrels first tell you that?
Mr. Curry. This was the—it seems to me like several days after this occurred.
Mr. Rankin. Did you report that to anyone?
Mr. Curry. I believe I told Chief Stevenson about it or whoever was—or perhaps Captain or Inspector Sawyer or some of them. This information was relayed on to the investigating group.
Mr. Rankin. Do you know whether they recorded it any place?
