Mr. Hubert. Mr. Smith, I have in my hand a copy of a report of an interview of you dated December 4, 1963, made by FBI Agents Haley and Madland which I have marked for identification as follows: “Fort Worth, Tex., April 15, 1964, Exhibit 5317, deposition of John A. Smith,” and I signed my name below it. I would like you to read this, and after, I will ask you some questions about it.
(Mr. Smith reads report.)
Mr. Smith. This thing doesn’t refer to him asking the question twice, which I believe I mentioned before, but essentially that is true.
Mr. Hubert. At the time that you were interviewed by Mr. Haley and Mr. Madland, were there other people present?
Mr. Smith. Let’s see; Mr. Haley, I believe, was the one that came over by himself. Then another—you see, I have been contacted three or four times, and I am not the best on names. We were contacted by two people at one time, and I believe they were from the city police department. I am not sure. I can’t even remember when I met Mr. Davis. He was on one of those.
Mr. Hubert. Do you recall an interview that was had by FBI agents in the studio at which Richey and Walker were present?
Mr. Smith. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Well, addressing yourself to that interview, was it conducted individually or as a group?
Mr. Smith. When I first got there, he was talking to one of the others.
Mr. Hubert. He, or were there two people?
