Mr. Hubert. Where it indicates that the Dallas Police asked you to do that, and the fact is, you said you made that investigation yourself and reported what you had found to the FBI and to the Dallas police?
Mr. Hodge. I might have reported it to the Dallas police—I do that.
Mr. Hubert. Let’s put it this way: I understand from the conversations we had prior to the beginning of this interview that this interview does not contain the entire story?
Mr. Hodge. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. It does not contain the entire story of your participation in this matter, and I’m going to get that in just a moment by asking you to give the entire story as you gave it to me a moment ago, but this document as far as it goes, is correct, I take it?
Mr. Hodge. Now, he didn’t ask me, “Have they arrested you?” He didn’t say that. He says, “What are you doing up here?”
Mr. Hubert. I think perhaps if I question you, the differences between what this Exhibit No. 1 says and what your testimony is will become manifest, and to what extent your testimony differs from Exhibit No. 1, then of course Exhibit No. 1 will be in error, is that correct?
Mr. Hodge. Well——
Mr. Hubert. Suppose we do it this way: Let me question you and then we will talk a little while about Exhibit No. 1. What was your first contact with the entire matter of the assassination of President Kennedy?
Mr. Hodge. When it came in over the radio that he had been killed with a 7-millimeter rifle, my wife and myself—we got our book and started checking to see who we had sold a 7-millimeter rifle to.
