Mr. Belin. On November 22, 1963, could you state what you did after you got to the Dallas Police Station?
Mr. Graves. Well, the first thing that I did was take a statement from, I believe her name was, Helen Markham.
Let me see; yes, I took a statement from Miss or Mrs. Helen Markham.
Mr. Belin. How did you happen to see Mrs. Markham or Miss Markham?
Mr. Graves. Well, of course you have to be there to realize the mass confusion, but a squad uniform officer had brought this lady in and she was quite hysterical, and they put her in a little room, just across the hall from our bureau, and notified the lieutenant that they had her over there, and when I walked in they told me to go talk to this lady and take an affidavit from her, which I did.
Mr. Belin. You say she was quite hysterical. Describe her actions.
Mr. Graves. She was crying and upset, naturally.
Mr. Belin. Was she saying anything at all?
Mr. Graves. Well, I don't recall exactly what she was saying—what most hysterical women say—wringing her hands and talking about the shooting.
Mr. Belin. You took an affidavit from her?
