Mr. Griffin. We will certainly look into that right away.
Off the record.
(Discussion off the record.)
Mr. Griffin. All right. Sergeant, we have been off the record here awhile, and you indicated that the man said something about having been here on vacation and some other thing. Will you tell us what else?
Mr. Dean. He said he had been here on vacation and that when he learned of the President's coming, he had stationed himself on the southwestern part of the plaza, toward the railroad tracks, and that he had a wide scope—he referred to it as a full wide scope camera, and that he believed that he had gotten the assassination. He was taking pictures at the time of the assassination, and he believed that he had the building in the background, because it's in direct trajectory of the line of fire. My impression of him was that since he said that he had talked it over with his attorney and didn't know what to do with these things, that he seemed to be scared as to whether to keep them or throw them away or what. When he told me that he would send them to me, that he said, "You can have them. I haven't developed them, and you don't have to send me any copies of them back."
Mr. Griffin. Will you notify us as soon as they receive those films?
Mr. Dean. Yes, sir.
Mr. Griffin. And turn them over to us?
Mr. Dean. Yes, sir. You want all the records from the city hall operator?
Mr. Griffin. Telephone call; yes.
