Mr. Liebeler. Can you think of anything else that you think the Commission should know about in connection with the assassination?
Mr. Krystinik. Nothing in connection with the assassination.
In connection with Michael, I would almost stake my reputation on his apparent honesty. I feel he is as good, I think, in his heart as he is on the surface.
Mr. Liebeler. You don't think he had anything to do with the events leading up to the assassination?
Mr. Krystinik. I don't feel that he had anything to do with it. I think if he had been of a more suspicious nature, he could possibly have avoided the President being shot.
He told me after the President was killed and after it had come out that the rifle had possibly been stored at his home, that he had moved in his garage some sort of heavy object about this long wrapped up in a blanket, and he had the impression when he moved it this was some sort of camping equipment, and that it was considerably heavier than camping equipment he had been dealing with, and it never occurred to him it might be a gun or rifle that had been broken down.
Mr. Liebeler. Would you indicate approximately how long the package was?
Mr. Krystinik. He said something about like that [indicating].
Mr. Liebeler. How long would you say that was?
Mr. Krystinik. Looking at it, I would say 26 or 28 inches. Maybe 30 inches.
