Mr. Hubert. Did he consult with you as to whether or not this was the proper thing to do?

Captain King. No, sir.

Mr. Hubert. Would it have been normal for him to consult with you in your position as public relations officer?

Captain King. Probably not—no.

Mr. Hubert. You did not offer any objection to this proposal?

Captain King. I did not.

Mr. Hubert. Do you know if anyone else did?

Captain King. No, sir; I don’t—I don’t know.

Mr. Hubert. Do you know if there had been any release made by anyone in the police department to the press that Oswald had not confessed?

Captain King. No, I don’t. I don’t know whether there was or not—that he had not confessed?
