Now, whether it was on the 22d or not, but I think during along this period, I saw him there one time.
But I don't recall talking to Mr. Hosty at all down there.
Mr. Stern. Did any of the agents attached to your office tell you that they had talked to Hosty? Or that Hosty had told them anything?
Mr. Sorrels. Yes; I think Special Agent Patterson, I believe, said that he had seen Hosty down there, and that Hosty, I believe, had said that he had a file on Oswald.
Mr. Stern. Do you recall anything else that Agent Patterson told you that Mr. Hosty had told him?
Mr. Sorrels. No; I cannot recall anything else. Because I had information—had also gotten information from others. In other words, there was general information around the Police Department there that the FBI had a file on this individual.
Mr. Stern. Any other of your agents tell you that Hosty had said anything to them about Oswald that you can recall?
Mr. Sorrels. You mean at that specific date, regarding that specific date?
Mr. Stern. Either on Friday or on Saturday.
Mr. Sorrels. No. During the course of this thing, it was my understanding that—I don't remember how the information came to me—that Hosty had been checking on this Oswald, and that they had information or knew that he was in this building. I cannot pinpoint it any way specifically, because the information came several different times to that effect.
