Dallas Police Officers, Guy Rose, and Richard Stovall, along with FBI Agent, Manning Clements,
all handled the Oswald IDs. Rose and Stovall met together with Lee, but are in dispute about the wallet,
Stovall says he had the wallet; Rose said he didn't.
Rose:"He had already been searched and someone had his billfold.
I don't know whether it was the patrolman who brought him in that had it or not."
Mr. BALL. And the contents of the billfold supposedly were before you?
Mr. ROSE. Yes.
Stovall:"I don't recall exactly--
I went in and asked him for his identification, asked him who he was and he said his name was Lee Oswald,
as well as I remember. Rose and I were both in there at the time. He had his billfold and in it he had the
identification of "A. Hidell," which was on a selective service card, as well as I remember."
Stovall said he told them his name was Lee Oswald, Rose said he claimed to be Hidell.Mr. BALL. Now, when he first came in there--you said that he said his name was "Hidell"?
Mr. ROSE. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Was that before you saw the two cards?
Mr. ROSE. Yes; it was.
Mr. BALL. Did he give you his first name?
Mr. ROSE. He just said "Hidell"; I remember he just gave me the last name of "Hidell".
Mr. BALL. And then you found two or three cards on him?
Mr. ROSE. Yes; we did.
It was key to separate the contents; thereby disconnecting it to any other wallet.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Inventory ControlI'm not sure where I got this from, but it breaks down the inventory reports of the wallet;Rose and Stovall first said they "obtained" his ID (24H292).
In testimony, Stoval said Oswald had his billfold at the 1st interrogation (7H187-88)
while Rose said Lee had the contents of the billfold but not the billfold itself (7H228).
When FBI agent Clements saw Lee in the interrogation room by himself at 10 that night,
the wallet was on a desk in the room (7H320). While Lee was out of the room,
Clements went through the wallet and listed its contents (H 615-17).
On 11/24/63, Fritz furnished the FBI with Photos "of all the articles contained in the wallet of"
Lee Oswald at time of arrest. These were apparently given to Bookhout, whose report lists 17 items (24H17).
A receipt executed by Hosty, which reads (24H347):
"Received from Capt. Will Fritz at approximately 1:00 a.m. on 11/27/63"
"Billfold and 16 cards and pictures taken from Lee Harvey Oswald on 11/22/63"
The maximum number of items
(excluding the cash) is 17 (24H17).
Hosty's receipt lists only 16 items.
SA Clements lists 13 plus the cash, plus Lee's Social Sec. card which Lee "had...in possession."
Comparing the Clements list (H 615-17) with the Bookhout list of the photos Fritz supplied,
The following items are absent from Clements:
1. Photo of Oswald in marine uniform
2. A.J. Hidell Certificate of Service
3. slip of paper with 2 addresses for The Worker
FBI Agent Hosty also confirms this wallet was found at the scene.
Patrolman Leonard Jez, told a conference in 1999 that the wallet was identified at the murder scene as belonging to Oswald.
Yet the Hidell ID does not appear documented by Clements
until Fritz hands over the inventory on 11/27.
That service card is key, and ties the murder weapon of the President with the officer's killer.
But it's all very suspicious, instant like, when Belin asked Hill about the name Hidell, the SGT became coy,
like he
"couldn't say specifically", "...sounds like the name". That became the act by April 08, 1964.
Mr. HILL. "That would be similar. I couldn't say specifically that is what it was,
because this was a conversation and I never did see it written down, but that sounds like the name that I heard."
