Mr. Solomon. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Can you state in your own words just what that was all about?
Mr. Solomon. Well, Holly was with us a long time. He was in the organization, I have forgotten how many years, but I don't guess that is important.
But frankly, Holly was—he is confused. I am not exactly satisfied that he is sure about what he is saying. His statements were so general, such a general nature, and when I showed him the pictures he was unable to positively identify them.
This man that he did pick out and said that he looked most like the man that was in the basement was W. J. Newman. He was in the basement, but he wasn't out at Parkland Hospital where he told them he saw him, and I just got the impression that Holly was—he just wasn't too reliable a witness.
Mr. Hubert. What did he say to you? Of course, we will get his testimony, but what do you remember that Holly said to you?
Mr. Solomon. Well, he first approached me—you see, I was at the courthouse down in the area when Oswald was shot, so I knew immediately from the previous slaying that one of our big headaches was going to be at the Parkland Hospital, and I rushed on out there to try to set up a little security out there. And Holly showed up out there after awhile, and he made the statement to me that he thinks he knew a man—that is the way he put it, that he thought he saw one of the men out there that was in the basement of the city hall who knew something about that. And I said, "Who was it," and he said, "I couldn't tell you, but I would know him if I saw him."
Mr. Hubert. Did he say the man was in uniform?
Mr. Solomon. Yes; he said he saw him out there at Parkland Hospital, so I tried to check.
