Mr. Rankin. Let's finish with the showup now.
Mr. Wade. Yes. They asked a bunch of questions there. I think if you get a record of my interview that you will find that any of the evidence——
Mr. Dulles. Which interview is that?
Mr. Wade. With the press, midnight, radio, television, and everything else. I think if you will get a copy of that you will find they asked me lots of questions about fingerprints and evidence. I refused to answer them because I said it was evidence in the case. The only thing that I told them that you might get the impression was evidence but is really not evidence, I told them that the man's wife said the man had a gun or something to that effect. The reason, maybe good or bad, but that isn't admissible in Texas. You see a wife can't testify. It is not evidence, but it is evidence but it is inadmissible evidence actually is what it was. So I think if you find anything in that interview that deals with the evidence you are going to feel that it dealt only with that piece of testimony of Marina Oswald, which someone had told me she said about the gun was missing from the house, which I think later was corroborated.
Mr. Rankin. At that time, had you filed on the assassination?
Mr. Wade. Yes, sir; we had filed upstairs prior to this. He had been filed on for murder with malice.
Mr. Rankin. But he hadn't been brought before the justice of the peace or magistrate yet on that complaint, had he?
Mr. Wade. The justice of the peace was there in the office and took it in the homicide. Oswald was in homicide, also, but he is in a separate office.
Like I told you, I never did see Oswald except in that lineup downstairs. That was the first time I had seen him.
Mr. Rankin. Was that when you told the justice of the peace that he ought to have him before him to tell him his rights and so forth?
