Mr. Stern. Hand cameras or the large?
Mr. Leavelle. They had the big camera set on a tripod right at the entrance of that hallway leading up there which would give them a full view of the entire hallway.
Mr. Stern. What was your impression of Oswald and the way he handled himself throughout this period?
Mr. Leavelle. Like I say, the only time that I had any connections with Oswald was this Sunday morning. I never had occasion of hearing him being interrogated or had occasion to talk with him at anytime and, to my listening to him answering the questions that were propounded to him that particular morning, he gave me the impression of being a man with a lot better education than his formal education indicated. In other words, for instance the long elaboration that he went into on the Cuba deal would tell—indicate that he had a fairly better than high school education that he was reported to have had.
Mr. Stern. Did he seem to be in control of himself?
Mr. Leavelle. Oh, yes; he was in control of himself at all times. In fact, he struck me as a man who enjoyed the situation immensely and was enjoying the publicity and everything was coming his way.
Mr. Stern. He engaged in banter with you and the police officials?
Mr. Leavelle. Not with me because I didn't have occasion to question him, but he did always smile and never hesitated for an answer, always had an answer.
Mr. Stern. How about on the occasions you were bringing him to or from the interrogations?
Mr. Leavelle. I did not indulge in any of that other than the one time and, of course, if I made any comments to him at that time, I do not remember what they were.
