General Walker. Well, starting back to make the record clear, I had a speaking engagement in Hattiesburg, Miss., either the 18th or 19th of November. I went from there to New Orleans and stayed 2 or 3 days. I was in the airplane between New Orleans and Shreveport about halfway, when the pilot announced that the President had been assassinated. I landed in Shreveport and went to the Captain Shreve Hotel and stayed there two nights and returned to Dallas and was walking into my house, just about the time of the immediate rerun of the shooting of Oswald. I had been out of the city on speaking engagements.
Mr. Liebeler. The question was, when were you in Shreveport, and when did you talk to this man?
General Walker. I was in Shreveport the night of the 23d and the night of the 22d. Do you have a transcript of my conversation with Mr. Thorsten?
Mr. Liebeler. Yes, sir.
General Walker. Sir?
Mr. Liebeler. I have what appears to be that; yes.
General Walker. Where did you get that?
Mr. Liebeler. It is apparently taken from the newspaper. The newspaper itself had a transcript printed right in it.
General Walker. I believe the article you referred to in the newspaper was separate from the other article in the paper which evolved out of the conversation.
Mr. Liebeler. Now so that there were in this particular issue of the newspaper two transcripts of a conversation between yourself and Thorsten, and also a story about how Oswald had allegedly fired at you, is that correct?
