(Testimony of Malcolm Howard , Jr. Price)

Mr. Price.
was a week before Thanksgiving, but anyhow, it was before the assassination, the Sunday before, but they were holding a turkey shoot.
Mr. Liebeler.
The Sunday before the assassination would have been the 17th--that would have been two Sundays before Thanksgiving.
Mr. Price.
Well, it might be right--that's been so long ago--I'm not sure about the dates, I don't remember dates too well. Mr. LIEBELER. But you were pretty clear in your mind you didn't see Oswald after the assassination?
Mr. Price.
That's right.
Mr. Liebeler.
Have you ever seen him since?
Mr. Price.
I have never seen him since. I have been down there quite often since December.
Mr. Liebeler.
Down at the rifle range?
Mr. Price.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
And business at the rifle range has fallen off since the assassination, rather sharply, hasn't it?
Mr. Price.
Well, for a while it continued, but it has fallen off very sharply in the last, oh, in the last month and a half except for Sundays--they do have good business on Sunday.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did the FBI show you any pictures of anybody and ask you to identify them when they talked to you?
Mr. Price.
It was the FBI or Secret Service, one of the two, I believe it was the FBI.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did they show you any of the pictures that we have shown you this morning?
Mr. Price.
They have shown one similar--they had three or four photos showing this bruise and cut on the forehead.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did they show you a picture of the rifle?
Mr. Price.
I believe the Secret Service showed me a picture of the rifle. I told them the same thing--it wasn't made up exactly the same it didn't have the sling, it didn't have the forepiece, like there had been an attempt to sporterize the gun.
Mr. Liebeler.
The last time you saw this man at the rifle range do you remember if there was anybody else there that you know?
Mr. Price.
Garland Slack.
Mr. Liebeler.
And you saw Mr. Slack?
Mr. Price.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Anybody else?
Mr. Price.
Well, there was this big fellow--I don't know who he is.
Mr. Liebeler.
Have you ever seen him since?
Mr. Price.
No; I haven't. I understand that Mr. Davis saw him one time because he called me and told me that he saw him, about 2 weeks ago, and he turned the license number of the car over to the FBI.
Mr. Liebeler.
But you, yourself, have never seen him since?
Mr. Price.
I have never seen him since.
Mr. Liebeler.
Was there anybody else that last day at the rifle range that saw this man that might be able to identify him other than Mr. Slack and Mr. Davis?
Mr. Price.
Well, not that I know of. There was a lot of people there there were 300 or 400 people there. There could be any number of them that could identify him, but I don't know them.
Mr. Liebeler.
Can you think of anything about this subject that I haven't asked you about that you think I should have asked you about--anything you would like to add?
Mr. Price.
No; a conversation I had with him about the telescope I forgot that. I forgot to mention that--to Mr. Brown when he was out, and I don't know whether I mentioned that to the Secret Service agent or not. It will be in his report if I did.
Mr. Liebeler.
The conversation about the clarity of the scope?
Mr. Price.
Yes. He wasn't--he didn't seem to be too talkative to anyone other than when he was talking about the telescope---he seemed rather proud of that.
