Subject:
Interview with Mr. Darwin Payne,
Reporter for Dallas Times Herald
Sir:
On December 10, 1963, Lisutenant F. I. Cornwall and Lieutenant
Jack Revill interviewed Hr. Darwin Payne in regards to an
article that was written by him and printed in the Dallas
Times Herald, December 8, 1963. Mr. Payne stated that on
Saturday, December 7, 1963, at about 1:30 p.m. he called
Sergeant P. T. Dean at home and told him that he was as-
signed to verify an article written by Mr. David hughes
and published in the Times Herald shortly after the shooting
of Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. Payne said that he then road the article written by
Mr. David Hughes to Sergeant Dean (copy of these notes
are attached to the interview of David Hughes) and asked
him if this was about the way it was or if there were any
changes he would like to make. Sergeant Dean advised him
that he did not have any changes to make from the original
interview given Mr. Hughes. The article written by Nr.
Payne which appeared in the Dallas Times Herald on
December 8, 1963, states *Officer says he saw Ruby". In
regard to this statement I asked Mr. Payne if Sergeant
Dean had made this statement; that he had seen Jack Ruby
come down the North rump and Mr. Payne replied that Sergeant
Dean did not say this but that he meraly verified what had
been written in the first article.
When asked how this mistake was made, Mr. Payne stated that
it was probably done by the rewrite man.
At the time of this interview, Mr. Payne said he had been
questioned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
