BILL BOXLEY, Investigator
RE:
INTERVIEW WITH HARVEY L. WADE
406 So. Howell
Chattanooga, Tenn. 37412
Telephone: 624-3228
On Wednesday, 25 October, 1967, HARVEY LAWILL WADE, a
building inspector for the County of Hamilton, Tennessee,
Chattanooga was interviewed at 11:30 A.M. in his office at
the Courthouse regarding his statement contained in Warren
Commission Exhibit #-2370 and-i Warren Commission Exhibit
# 2432. WADE confirmed that the descriptions of two men
he saw with LEE HARVEY OSWALD in the Carousal Club, Dallas,
on the night of November 10, 1963, were accurately recorded
2370
in Commission Exhibit CE'by the FBI Agent taking statement.
He disappointedly commented however that it could not have
been LEE HARVEY OSWALD with whom he saw the men because
"Of course OSWALD was not there".
WADE responded exuberantly however when informed that OSWALD
undoubtedly had a double in Dallas as well as other places
with him, and seemed relieved that he had not made the
mistaken identification of OSWALD which the FBI questioner
had indicated he must have made. WADE located the position
at the bar where OSWALD and his companions were sitting and
his own relative position to that in a photograph shown him
of the interior of the Carousal Club. His distance from
the three men appears to have been less than twenty feet.
He describes #-1 man who much in appear-
CHECK
ance as being 5'8", 140 pounds, with long black hair and
OUT KT'S
adds to his description in CE 2370 the information that he
PHOTOS
wore the hair parted on the left side and had an immature or
baby expression around his mouth and chin. He estimated his
asuains
age to have been in his early 20's. The # 2 man, described
as 5'10" tall, stocky build, oval faced, of Mexican or
STRONG
Spanish extraction with a one inch scar on his left eyebrow,
also had a noticeably pox-marked face. -He states that our
ESCORT
photograph of LAWRENCE HOWARD represents a man several years
?
too old in appearance and too stern of expression. He
remembers the # 2 man being in his early 30's and of more
clean-cut pleasant facial expression.
