(Testimony of George Senator Resumed)

Mr. Senator.
Well, I did that. I don't remember if I did that. I just wonder if I did the laundry. I normally do the laundry on Saturday or something. But I don't even recollect if I did that that day or not. I don't remember. I think I saw Jim Martin, but to the best of my recollection anything I did was only minute, just the passing of an afternoon, or something like that.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you have some recollection of having seen Jim Martin on Saturday?
Mr. Senator.
I think I had a cocktail. I am not sure, but I think I had a cocktail with him, at the Burgundy Room. I think I did.
Mr. Griffin.
Would that have been in the afternoon?
Mr. Senator.
Yes; because he is around his office between somewhere between 12 and 1. I mean that is when he will leave, he won't leave before that, and if I remember right--I am not sure on that---but if I remember I think we may have had a cocktail at the Burgundy Room.
Mr. Griffin.
I take it you do begin to have some recollection of having spent some time at the Burgundy Room?
Mr. Senator.
I know I was there that day, you know.
Mr. Griffin.
But I mean Saturday afternoon.
Mr. Senator.
I think I may have been there for a while, because I know later on that I met who I mentioned yesterday, Bill Downey, that I was there, and that we went some other place.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you see Downey before----
Mr. Senator.
I think I saw Downey the latter part of the afternoon, or something like that, or the early part of the evening. I don't know if I met him in the latter part of the afternoon or when it was.
Mr. Griffin.
And were you----
Mr. Senator.
It might have been in the early part of the afternoon. I am not-sure. But I also met him later. It must have been around 8 or 8:30 when we went out together. I was at the Burgundy Room Then we went to this other place.
Mr. Griffin.
It is your recollection that you saw Downey then both in the afternoon and the evening?
Mr. Senator.
I think I saw him in the afternoon, but the evening for sure. I think I saw him in the afternoon I am not sure. I ,think I made an appointment to meet him later, and then we would go out for a beer or two. This is what I think. I think now I am not sure on that.
Mr. Griffin.
Were you troubled on Saturday over your having gone with Jack out to photograph this impeach Earl Warren sign?
Mr. Senator.
Was I troubled when I went with him?
Mr. Griffin.
On Saturday did this trouble you in any way?
Mr. Senator.
You mean Saturday afternoon?
Mr. Griffin.
Yes.
Mr. Senator.
You mean did I think about it?
Mr. Griffin.
Yes.
Mr. Senator.
Oh, I imagine that I would probably say that I had thought about it; yes. As a matter of fact, I thought about that thing many a time; I don't know why; I don't know why he wanted to go out that night and take these pictures. He never mentioned why he wanted to see it or why he wanted to snap the pictures.
Mr. Griffin.
You didn't mention this to the Dallas Police Department?
Mr. Senator.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
You did mention,-however, that you went out with Jack and had coffee with him that morning?
Mr. Senator.
Yes; at the Southland Hotel.
Mr. Griffin.
Of course, this was all in sequence with having gone out to see that Earl Warren sign?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
But what was it that made you omit to tell the police that?
Mr. Senator.
Nothing particularly. I don't know why. Just it was a shaken-up day for me.
Mr. Griffin.
Were you worried that this might hurt Jack to talk about that particular episode?
