Mr. Belin. This could be helpful. In other words, if he were asked a question, did he pause before he answered the question, or did he just shoot an answer straight back?

Mr. Graves. Just answered right back.

Mr. Belin. Were there any exceptions to this, that you could remember, or was this almost invariably the case?

Mr. Graves. Well, that was the case in everything that I heard him say. He didn't hunt for words, didn't hesitate at all.

Mr. Belin. Detective Graves, is there anything else you can think of that might be relevant to this area of inquiry which involves anything to do with Lee Harvey Oswald or the investigation of the assassination, or the shooting of Officer Tippit, that we haven't discussed here?

Mr. Graves. At this point, I don't recall anything else.

Mr. Belin. Well, we certainly appreciate your cooperation, doubly so, because we know you have been down here once before, and I want to tell you that you have a right, if you would like, to read the transcript of this deposition and sign it and make any corrections that you wish, or you can just have the reporter ship it to us directly in Washington, and waive the signing, whatever you want to do? Do you have any preference at all?

Mr. Graves. Well, if I don't sign it, it won't make any difference anyway.

Mr. Belin. You can waive it if you would like to.

Mr. Graves. I will waive it. It don't make any difference to me.
