"Mr. Harkness: Yes, sir; they were taken
to the station and questioned.
"Mr. Belin: Any guns of any kind found?
"Mr. Harkness: Not to my knowledge.
"Mr. Belin: I want to go back to this
Amos Euins. Do you remember what he said
to you and what you said to him when you
first saw him?"
(Emphasis added).
Perhaps Mr. Belin had a dinner engagement or something
equally pressing on his mind. Here he has just been told about
the use of a departing railroad train by strangers who are
leaving the area where the President has just been murdered and
he has no follow up questions to ask. He also changes the
subject. "Amos Euins" had no connection whatsoever with the
activity around the grassy knoll and the interesting occurrence
of the timely, departing trains.
It seems hardly necessary to add that no further details
were obtained by Sgt. Harkness' interrogator regarding the
arrested men, particularly as to just who had seen to it that
they were "taken to the station and questioned. Neither at
the
Dallas Sheriff's Office nor at the Police Department was there
any record whatsoever of their arrest.
Nor was there, so far as I could find, any mention of
their names anywhere in the 26 Warren Commission volumes. Nor
was their railroad yard arrest and subsequent vanishment a source
of any interest to the Warren Commission in its lengthy, rambling
