Mr. Hubert. Let me make this point to you. I notice from the calendar that I have before me of the year 1963 that November 28 was Thursday and was Thanksgiving. Could you relate this meeting with Hamblen to that date?
Mr. Fenley. It seems to me it might be—my memory on these things is terrible—but it seems to me that it might have been around Thanksgiving, now that you mention it.
Mr. Hubert. Would you say that it was within the week immediately succeeding the shooting of Oswald?
Mr. Fenley. I couldn't be positive, but I think it could have been; yes. This could be checked very easily by going to the newspaper file and getting the date and then going back a couple of days.
Mr. Hubert. This Mr. Carter, I think you said, checked with Mr. Hamblen? That is, he told you he did?
Mr. Fenley. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. On the same day that you told him about it, which was the next day?
Mr. Fenley. The next day after; yes.
Mr. Hubert. I think you mentioned that he said that you suggested that he check it out with Hamblen, and that he did right away, or in a few hours?
Mr. Fenley. I would have written the story myself, except I felt a little dubious, I must say, of it and I wanted George to do the same thing and see if the story matched. So now, frankly, I am not too positive when George actually talked to Hamblen, but I believe the story appeared on a Saturday morning. So if it could have been Thanksgiving, if Thanksgiving would be on a Thursday, and George talked to him on Friday, it would appear for the Saturday paper.
