Lieutenant Revill got a photograph of that individual and he was checked on, and it was determined that he would not be in that area at that time.
Mr. Stern. Did the FBI report anything else to your office?
Mr. Sorrels. On the morning of November 21, as I recall it, Special Agent Hosty came to the office early in the morning with a number of handbills which bore a picture of the President of the United States, Mr. Kennedy, with the caption, "Wanted for Treason," with a number of numbered paragraphs supposedly outlining the reason.
Mr. Stern. Did your office make an investigation of that pamphlet?
Mr. Sorrels. I had previously received the information early in the morning from the sheriff's office that such handbills had been found on the streets. We contacted the police department, Lieutenant Revill, and they had a number of the handbills, and they were just found on the street. We could not from the police investigation or from our inquiries, find anyone that had seen anyone actually distributing them.
And we had no other leads on the handbills at that time.
Mr. Stern. Did the Dallas police give you any information of this nature—I am not referring specifically to the handbills, but to the Protective Research area, in advance of the President's trip?
Mr. Sorrels. Nothing more than what I believe I have outlined with Lieutenant Revill's department there.
Mr. Stern. Was there anything else that you recall involving any person or group that might present a danger to the President?
Mr. Sorrels. There was some individuals from Grand Prairie, Tex., that were mentioned to us by the police department that were known to be the type that might appear with handbills or placards—not handbills, but with placards in the area where the President might appear. And it developed that they did show up with placards at the Trade Mart, and they were taken into custody by the police department.
