JOSEPH ROLAND HUMMEL, Rm. 710, YMCA, 605 North
Ervay, Dallas, advised that he was presently employed at
the Magnolia Tearoom, 1629 Pacific Street. He stated that
he thought he had seen LEE HARVEY OSWALD in the Mayflower
Coffee Shop in September, 1963. He advised that he also
believed he had seen JACK RUBY on the sun deck at the YMCA
during the summer of 1963. He said a fellow named BARNEY
(LNU) who is a desk clerk at the YMCA told him that RUBY was
a member of the Y. HUMMEL advised that prior to coming to
Dallas in April of 1961, he had lived in New Orleans and that
he believed he first saw LEE HARVEY OSWALD during Mardi Gra
of 1960 in the La Marina Cafe on Decatur Street, New Orleans.
He advised that he further believed he had seen OSWALD shopping
in a grocery store on the corner of Magazine and Melpomene.
He further advised that he believed he had seen OSWALD sometime
in 1961 walking on Jackson and Magazine with a white male,
sandy hair, about 5' 8" or 9", who appeared to be of German
extraction. He advised in this regard he is of German descent
and claimed he had no trouble distinguishing this nationality.
HUMMEL claimed that he had been a source of information or
an informant for the New Orleans police and the Customs
Agency in New Orleans. He stated that he was working for
RICHARD DOWLING and after DOWLING went out of office, for
JAMES GARRISON, presently District Attorney. He said in
particular he worked with Captain BARBERIOS.
HUMMEL furnished information known to the Agent
which indicated he was acquainted with the New Orleans
area, and further admitted he had been arrested by the
New Orleans police for a crime against nature and indecent
exposure.
