Mr. Hubert. Do you think it was written on that date because Mr. Kelley told you shortly before that date, to wit, February 3, that you should write it, or is it your impression that Mr. Kelley had told you long before it was written to write it?
Mr. Sorrels. There is a possibility that he may have told me before. I don’t recall it specifically. But I do know that Inspector Kelley had instructed me to write up the report.
Mr. Hubert. Do you recall having a conversation with Mr. Burt Griffin, the gentleman who is in the office now, concerning what you knew about what Ruby had said in your interviews with him?
Mr. Sorrels. Yes; I do. And that refreshed my memory a bit, because I recall that Inspector Kelley, after I had talked to Mr. Griffin on the telephone—Inspector Kelley told me to get it written up, get it in writing, about the interview, and get it in. I remember that now, since you mention it.
Mr. Hubert. So that actually the report was written because Inspector Kelley instructed you to do so, and as you recall it he did so because of the conversation with Mr. Griffin?
Mr. Sorrels. I would surmise that, because, as I recall it now, either right after I got through talking to Mr. Griffin or shortly thereafter, Mr. Kelley did instruct me to get the interview, as I recall it, in a report, and get it in to him.
Mr. Hubert. But normally I think you said this report would have been written anyhow, without any suggestion by Mr. Kelley or anybody else?
Mr. Sorrels. Yes; that is right.
Mr. Hubert. And it was your intent to write it, you say, but you didn’t get around to it?
Mr. Sorrels. That is about the best explanation I know to make on it.
