Mr. Rankin. What Saturday are you talking about?
Mr. Wade. Saturday the 23d, 1963; November 23. I told them that, all of them, we had calls from various people, and most of them was from people here in the East calling lawyers there in Dallas rather than me, and them calling me.
Mr. Rankin. What were they saying to you about that?
Mr. Wade. Well, they were very upset, one, in looking at American justice where the man didn't have an attorney, as apparently, and two, that too much information was being given to the press too, by the police and by me, some of them had said, and that is what prompted me probably to talk to Chief Curry about the thing, because I had received some of those calls.
I told them they ought to appoint the president of the bar association and the president of the Criminal Bar Association to represent him.
Mr. Rankin. Who did you tell that to?
Mr. Wade. Told that to Mr. Paul Carrington and also to Mr. Storey, I believe.
I believe they are the two that discussed it more at length with me.
Mr. Rankin. Do you know whether anything was done about that?
Mr. Wade. Yes.
