Mr. Hubert. Well, first of all, let’s fix it this way—that you were definitely in New Orleans the day the President was shot?
Mr. Carlin. Definitely so. This is the only thing I know definitely—that I can definitely say.
Mr. Hubert. Would it be possible that you drove back from New Orleans to Dallas on that day?
Mr. Carlin. Yes; it’s definitely possible, but as far as knowing for sure whether I did or not, I cannot say.
Mr. Hubert. Did you drive back from New Orleans to Fort Worth by day or by night?
Mr. Carlin. I believe at night, but again, we’ve made many of these trips to the same places, stay in the same places, and calling on the same accounts.
Mr. Hubert. Well, what I was trying to get at was whether or not you would remember this rather long trip from New Orleans to Dallas and on to Fort Worth, followed up by a trip with your wife back to Dallas on the night you borrowed the $5 and whether all that occurred on the same day, or do you recall what that day was?
Mr. Carlin. Well, I understand what you’re getting at, but as far as saying whether it came on the same day, I can’t recall. By the way, the account I was trying to think of in Houston is The Tidelands, if this means anything. I know that we were depressed as far as the President being killed and I remember making the statement I didn’t feel much like working, but on the other hand, I don’t recall whether we left just after finding out that the President was killed, and drove back then, or we might have started during the daytime and drove back in there early in the morning and then going to bed and getting up the next day and driving to Dallas. I’m saying I don’t recall whether this was the way it was or not.
Mr. Hubert. Do you otherwise remember what you did on Saturday the 23d, the day after the President was shot?
Mr. Carlin. No; I do not. I don’t even remember where I was at that time.
