Mr. Hubert. What I am trying to get at is whether or not this thought that you ultimately expressed to the newspapermen shortly after noon, I take it, on the 24th, whether that thought actually existed as a conscious mental process prior to that time or not?
Mr. Crowe. Not strongly, no. Just as a passing thought on and off, only after I had heard that Ruby had shot Oswald and I started summing up the coincidences, you know, and thinking of Oswald’s picture in the paper, and seeing it again, and putting it all together.
Mr. Hubert. Did you have occasion to call a man in Evansville, Ind., I think, a friend of yours on a newspaper that day?
Mr. Crowe. David Hoy.
Mr. Hubert. The day before?
Mr. Crowe. No; I said David Hoy.
Mr. Hubert. Do you remember that?
Mr. Crowe. Sunday.
Mr. Hubert. Was that before or after you told the newspaper people about the coincidences?
Mr. Crowe. Before.
