Mr. Hubert. Mr. McCurdy, I have heretofore, a little while ago, handed you a document consisting of two pages which I have marked for identification as follows: On the first page in the right-hand margin I have marked the words “Dallas, Texas, June 26, 1964, Exhibit No. 1, Deposition of Danny Patrick McCurdy” and on the second page I have placed my initials in the lower right-hand corner. This document purports to be the report of an interview of you by FBI Agent Coleman Mabray on November 29, 1963. Have you read this, sir?
Mr. McCurdy. Yes; sure have.
Mr. Hubert. Can you tell us whether this is a correct report of the interview?
Mr. McCurdy. Well, basically it is. There are two or three discrepancies at the end. I suppose they misunderstood me, but they’re not earth shattering or anything about the conversation that I had with Jack.
Mr. Hubert. You are referring to page 2?
Mr. McCurdy. Right—it says, “McCurdy advised that he ended his conversation with Ruby and he entered the diskjockey room”. Now, our conversation took place in the diskjockey room, that is, our console room, and not the newsroom.
Now, Jack spent the majority of the time in the newsroom with our newsman, Glenn Duncan, the man that just left, and a man by the name of Russ “Knight” Moore, who is now at WXYZ at Detroit, Mich., and also a gentleman named Pappas that I mentioned—I can’t remember what his first name was, but anyway he’s a newsman with WNEW in New York City, but Jack’s conversation and my conversation took place by ourselves in the control room. Now, he was in the control room at the time. There is another discrepancy down here, and it says I had met Ruby one time before.
Mr. Hubert. That’s in the fourth paragraph.
Mr. McCurdy. Actually, I had been with him twice. I had been to his club twice, rather than just once—it’s once—right here, and in the same paragraph it says, “So far as I know Ruby is not a personal friend of anyone at the station.” This is not true. He was a friend of Russ Moore. Now, Russ didn’t really appreciate his friendship, but he was a friend of Russ and this clarifies the last paragraph where it says, “I have no idea how Ruby obtained the telephone number at the station.” He knew several of the diskjockeys, one who had left the radio station earlier named Chuck Dunnaway—Charles Dunnaway who is now in Beaumont. He knew him, so I could easily see how he got the telephone number of the unlisted phone number—either through Chuck or Russ, or possibly one of our newsmen, that he possibly knew.
Mr. Hubert. Is this an incorrect report or is it that you did tell this to the FBI people and now your memory is clearer on it?
