Mr. Weissman. I said something to the effect of "Hello, Mr. Lane?"
Mr. Jenner. What did the voice on the other end of the phone say?
Mr. Weissman. He said yes—yes something.
Mr. Jenner. Did you identify yourself?
Mr. Weissman. Yes; I did.
Mr. Jenner. Did you identify yourself before or after you asked whether the voice was that of Mr. Lane?
Mr. Weissman. I identified myself—I called the radio station and it was a telephone thing that was broadcast over the air, question and answer—you telephone in a question and he answers. So I telephoned, and just by luck I happened to get through on the first ring. And somebody said, "Who is calling?" I said, "I would like to speak with Mr. Lane. This is Bernard Weissman calling, chairman of the American Fact-Finding Committee." And so I got him on the phone, because they could not pass this up. And I told him, I identified him that "You are the attorney for the assassin Oswald"—this is just what I said to him.
Mr. Jenner. What did he say?
Mr. Weissman. And he said—he murmured in agreement. He did not say emphatically "Yes; I am." But he said, "Um-hum," something to that effect. And I said, "I know what you are trying to do. I think you are hunting for headlines. But you had been talking to some liar in Dallas who has been feeding you all this baloney about me. You are making all these allegations at the Town Hall and now on radio. And you have never taken the trouble to contact me. My name has been in the paper. It is very well known where I live. I am in the phone book. You could have at least tried to contact me." And I pinned him up against the wall verbally. And he agreed at that time——
Mr. Jenner. What did he say?
