Mr. Belin. Now, I notice—well, you might just, without even looking at the memorandum, first just give us your general impression of what went on there.
Mr. Holmes. There was no formality to the interrogation. One man would question Oswald. Another would interrupt with a different trend of thought, or something in connection, and it was sort of an informal questioning or interrogation.
Oswald was quite composed. He answered readily those questions that he wanted to answer. He could cut off just like with a knife anything that he didn't want to answer.
And those particular things that he didn't want to answer were anything that pertained with the assassination of the President or the shooting of Officer Tippit. He flatly denied any knowledge of either.
He was not particularly obnoxious. He seemed to be intelligent. He seemed to be clearminded. He seemed to have a good memory, because in questioning him about the boxes, which I had original applications in front of me, he was pretty accurate. He knew box numbers and he answered these questions readily and answered them truthfully, as verified by the box rental applications that I had in front of me.
Mr. Belin. What was Oswald wearing at the time you saw him?
Mr. Holmes. He was bareheaded. He had a sport shirt on and slacks, pair of trousers.
Mr. Belin. What color trousers?
Mr. Holmes. Sort of a medium. On the light side I would say.
Mr. Belin. What color shirt?
