General Walker. In the newspaper I remember two separate articles. One based upon the conversation we had between us, as he understood it, and then as a separate article which I consider that the newspaper had done on its own.
Mr. Liebeler. What was the separate article about? Did that have any reference to the fact that Oswald had allegedly fired at you?
General Walker. Yes. As I remember the article, it alleged that Oswald was the one that had fired at me, and that this had been known earlier, and that this had been known and that nothing was done about it.
And if something had been done about it at that time, he wouldn't have been the man that—it wouldn't have been possible for him to have killed the President.
Mr. Liebeler. Well, now, did you tell anybody from this newspaper that Oswald had shot at you and that this had been known prior to the time of the assassination of the President?
General Walker. No; I did not. I wouldn't have known it. It was much later that they began to tie Oswald into me, and I don't even know it yet.
Mr. Liebeler. And you certainly didn't know it before November 22?
General Walker. Or the morning of the 23d, certainly not. I was very surprised to see the article.
Mr. Liebeler. So the best of your recollection is that you never provided them with the information?
General Walker. I did not. I didn't know it at the time of this conversation at all. I didn't know it until I started reading the newspaper, which would have been later than then.
