Mr. Ball. Did you initial it right there in the room?
Mr. Potts. We initialed it after we brought it to the station.
Mr. Ball. These are the initials of the men who were there with you?
Mr. Potts. That's H. M. Moore and I guess it's F. M. Turner—"F. M. T."—that's my partner. Yes, sir; for the purpose of identification in court, we initialed everything we could possibly write on.
Mr. Ball. Now, did you, on the 23d of November, take part in the investigation of either the death of Oswald or the shooting of the President?
Mr. Potts. Well, I reported to work at 10 o'clock in the morning and we worked until midnight that night—it was mostly telephone conversations—they had to put extra phones in our office. We were swamped—I talked to people from England, Canada, Peru—all over was just calling in there—just a continual call—call—call—and it kept most of us real busy answering telephone calls that day.
Mr. Ball. Did you take part in any showup of Oswald?
Mr. Potts. I believe I did—was that the 23d—at 2:15 that afternoon on the 23d, I was in on one.
Mr. Ball. Who was with you?
Mr. Potts. Mr. Senkel and I went to the jail and stood by the jail elevator and waited until the showup came down, and I was thinking there was M. G. Hall and Charlie Brown and a jailer or two that brought that showup down. They were all handcuffed together, as I recall.
