Mr. Hubert. I would ask you to do this, would you address a note to Mr. J. Lee Rankin, general counsel of the Commission?
Mr. Kaufman. I have his address on the letter of transmittal.
Mr. Hubert. Would you advise him that in the course of this deposition the question of Willie Mitchell came up and that I asked you to furnish the address that you have for him?
Mr. Kaufman. All right.
Mr. Hubert. And that you are doing it at my request?
Mr. Kaufman. I will be happy to, and incidentally, I did mention this to Sheriff Decker. This is no surprise, and I did tell Sheriff Decker—because I had asked Willie Mitchell how many people had talked to him about this, whether or not anyone had come up to the jail to discuss this with any of the prisoners, and he did indicate that there were some people but he thought they were probably just people from the jail office rather than anyone else.
Mr. Hubert. When did you tell Sheriff Decker about it?
Mr. Kaufman. Right after I found out about it.
Mr. Hubert. And when was that?
Mr. Kaufman. Well, the case was settled, I guess, about 5 or 6 or 7 weeks ago. It’s been within the last 2 or 2½ months, maybe. I believe I was down there one Saturday afternoon and was talking to him about it.
