Mr. Holmes.

I believe not.

Mr. Belin.

Mr. Holmes, when we first met, we sat down and I practically started taking testimony right away, is that correct?

Mr. Holmes.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Is there anything in the short conversation we had before we started taking testimony about this matter that we haven't discussed here on the record?

Mr. Holmes.

No, sir.

Mr. Belin.

For the record, I would like to offer as a part of this deposition Holmes Exhibits 1, 2, 3, and 4, and in addition, I don't know for the record, but I would like to offer--at some of the depositions we have had delays, but will you have copies made, madam reporter?
And one final thing, you have the right, if you want, to come back and read the deposition and sign, or else you let it go to us without signing or-coming back without reading it. Do you want to waive it or come back?

Mr. Holmes.

I will waive it.

Mr. Belin.

One other thing. I better mark this as Holmes Deposition Exhibit 5.

Mr. Holmes.

I want to save that.

Mr. Belin.

Mr. Holmes, I hand you Holmes Deposition Exhibit 5 and ask you to state if you will what this is.

Mr. Holmes.

It is a circular-type sheet simulating a wanted circular as put out by the post office department or the FBI showing a profile view. That is two separate views of President Kennedy.

Mr. Belin.

The one that says "Wanted for Treason"?

Mr. Holmes.

Underneath his picture in large type is "Wanted for Treason."

Mr. Belin.

How did you get ahold of this document, or what is the fact involved?

Mr. Holmes.

This was handed to me by one of the postal supervisors who brought it to my office stating that it had been brought in by one of the carriers that found it in a collection box on his route.

Mr. Belin.

On what day, do you know, offhand, in relation to the assassination?

Mr. Holmes.

He brought that in the afternoon of the assassination, November 22.

Mr. Belin.

Do you know how many of these were passed out?

Mr. Holmes.

No; except that it came from various sources. They were being passed out at neighborhood shopping centers, and numerous of them were brought in. This supervisor said that they had dozens of them down there, that it had come in by the carrier.

Mr. Belin.

I believe you also said that--is there anything else in regards to Holmes Deposition Exhibit 5 you care to add?

Mr. Holmes.

I believe not.

Mr. Belin.

Now, you showed us your deposition Exhibit 1, this application for a post office box dated November 1, 1963, of Lee Harvey Oswald, and you said this was at the terminal annex?

Mr. Holmes.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

How can you tell?

Mr. Holmes.

Because I recognized it as being the application, and also---I mean the application that I obtained at the terminal annex, and also the 6,000 designates that series of boxes at the terminal annex.

Mr. Belin.

And you also showed me an application for box 5475, dated November 7, 1963. Is that also the terminal annex?

Mr. Holmes.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

This was taken out by whom?

Mr. Holmes.

That is an application taken out by Jack Ruby on November 7, 1963, showing his firm name as being Earl Products; business, merchandising.

Mr. Belin.

We will put this as Holmes Deposition Exhibit 6. Do you know of any connection of your own knowledge between Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald?

Mr. Holmes.

No, sir; I know of none.

Mr. Belin.

Anything else you can say about Holmes Deposition Exhibit 6?
