Mr. Rankin. So, far as you know it has all been supplied then?
Mr. Wade. As far as I know it has. I don't know—I know of nothing in my files that you don't have, and if there is you sure are entitled to have it. I am not sure about this letter you mentioned from the lawyer, the affidavit but I am pretty sure you all have that but I know I got that during the trial and stuck it in my desk somewhere and I don't even know where it is but it will be available.
Mr. Rankin. In any of these press conferences that you have described did you ever say anything about the type of rifle that was thought to be involved in the killing of the President?
Mr. Wade. I think that was one of the inaccuracies that Sunday night on the thing.
Mr. Rankin. What did you say about it?
Mr. Wade. I think I said I thought it was a Mauser or I thought—was one of those things I didn't know what it was. It was an Italian gun, I think and I really thought I was giving them Italian but Mauser is a German gun, isn't it?
But I think you have that—it was a situation, I don't contend I was right on that because it was a situation somebody asked me that and that is what I thought I was telling them and I never—all my information came from the police and actually somebody said originally it was a Mauser but it turned out it was not.
Mr. Rankin. You learned it was not.
Mr. Wade. Oh, yes; there was no question, I am not contending whatever I said was so on that because I got it all secondhand from someone else.
Mr. Rankin. Did you learn that the Mauser-type rifle was similar in the type of action to the gun that was involved. Did that ever come to your attention?
