Numbers and Symbols

Numbers/Symbols

(919) 833-1253 (Raleigh, NC) 931 
At 10:00 pm on 23/11/63 Oswald was questioned briefly by Captain Fritz and at 10:45 pm asked permission once again to use the telephone. He entered the jail telephone booth,lifted the handset, and asked to place a long distance call. The operator who placed the call was Louise G. Swinney, supervisor of the Dallas City Hall telephone operators, while operator Alveeta A. Treon listened in. Oswald gave Mrs. Swinney two telephone
numbers in Raleigh, North Carolina: (919) 834-7430 and (919) 833-1253.

(919) 834-7430 (John David Hurt) 

 At 10:00 pm Oswald was questioned briefly by Captain Fritz and at 10:45 pm
asked permission once again to use the telephone. He entered the jail telephone booth,
lifted the handset, and asked to place a long distance call. T he operator who placed the
call was Louise G. Swinney, supervisor of the Dallas City Hall telephone operators,
while operator Alveeta A. Treon listened in. Oswald gave Mrs. Swinney two telephone
numbers in Raleigh, North Carolina: (919) 834-7430 and (919) 833-1253. Mrs. Swinney
wrote down the numbers, alerted the two unidentified men who were eavesdropping
in the next room, and began to dial the first number. W here did Oswald get these phone
numbers.P There is no indication that he asked for a long distance information operator (free of
charge in 1963 ), and appears he knew these numbers from memory.

Mrs. Treon remembered when Oswald tried to place the call and told the
HSCA, "I was dumbfounded at what happened next. Mrs. Swinney opened the ( telephone)
key to Oswald and told him, 'I'm sorry, the number doesn't answer.' She then
unplugged and disconnected Oswald without ever really trying to put the call through.
A few moments later Mrs. Swinney tore the page off her notation and threw it into the
wastebasket." T he HSCA reported, "Her (Mrs. Treon's) lasting impression of the events
that night is that Mrs. Swinney had been instructed by someone to not put the call
through for Oswald." 248
NOTE: Mrs. Swinneys actions clearly indicate she was ordered not to complete the call,
probably by the two unidentified men in the next room. Neither the Warren Commission,
FBI, or Dallas Police made any attempt to identify these men, who knew the identify of
each person Oswald telephoned and the substance of each conversation. If the two unidentified
men knew that Oswald was working as an undercover agent for the US government
(CIA), and either knew or suspected that the person in Raleigh, North Carolina
was his contact, then they would not want any call to this man completed.
At 11:00 pm Mrs. Swinney left work and Mrs. Treon retrieved the note from the
wastebasket, which listed the phone numbers in N ort�� Carolina. She copied the information
onto a standard telephone operator's slip and wrote two phone numbers from
Raleigh, North Carolina-(919) 834-7430, (919) 833-1253-and the name, "John Hurt." Nov
22/23-56
John Hurt told HSCA investigators that he had phone number 919-834-7430
for the last 20 years. 249

1106 Diceman (Oak Cliff) 

 1106 Diceman Avenue
In late March architect Daniel Thomas McGown flew from his hometown of
Memphis to Austin, Texas to review plans for a new building at the University of Texas.
Following his review McGown rented a car and drove to Fort Worth on Friday, March
29 and had dinner with his cousin, attorney George Q. McGown.
After dinner Daniel telephoned his wife in Memphis and wished her happy
birthday. He then drove to Dallas and rented a room at the Adolphus Hotel so that he
could be closer to Love Field for his flight home the next day. Shortly before midnight
McGown walked across the street to the Carousel Club. As he walked up the stairs to
the second floor he was told by a stocky, heavy-set man the club was closing for the
eventng.
The next morning (March 30) McGown returned to the entrance of the Carrousel
Club to look at photographs of the strip-tease dancers when a man crowded in between
him and the display cases. McGown said:
"As I was standing there looking at the display case a man crowded in between
me and the display case-apparently to see what I was looking at. As he moved
on around to leave, he accidentlly knocked all of the mail out of the mailbox that
was on the door. The mail that was scattered over the floor of the entry was a
couple of magazines, a few large pieces of mail and three letters of the same size
envelopes all addressed to the same person: 'Jake Rubenstein.' All of the senders
appeared to be girls names-two of the letters return addresses were in Fort
Worth but the other was from a Dallas address. The Dallas letter interested me
or rather caught my attention because the name read 'Lee Oswald' and I had a
friend in Memphis with the same last name (McGown's friend from Memphis
was a former member of the Board of Education named Felix Oswalt). The
thought occurred to me that these letters were applicants for performers in the
Carrousel and that Jake Rubenstein was the manager who turned me away the
night before. I made a mental note of the street address which was Diceman
Street. I do not remember the number. I do not believe that at that moment I
definitely planned to go to that address but I wanted to sight see some of Dallas
as my flight time was mid-afternoon. After driving about for sometime and
studying the city map (a 1962 map which he kept) I found I was very close to
Diceman Street. I thought I might drop by and see if Lee Oswald was related
to my friend and also see if she was an applicant for a performing strip-tease
artist. I found the address which was a ty pical newly constructed apartment,
having entrances along one side with a balcony walk for the second floor. The
mail box directory was close to the street and when I found the Oswald box I
discovered the name 'Harvey' was included-so, I had misinterpreted the name
on the letter as being female-I left immediately and did not attempt to make a
call." 12
NOTE: In late March 1963, while Lee Harvey Oswald was living in an apartment at
1106 Diceman Avenue, Harvey Oswald and Marina were living several miles away at
214 W. Neely.

After Marguerite and Lee left 1452 St. Marys, they stayed with her sister, Lillian Murret, for

 A few days after arriving in New Orleans in 1963 Oswald telephoned Lillian Murret and
asked if he could stay at their house. Mrs. Murret told the Warren Commission, "He said
he just wanted to put up there for a few days, you see, because he was trying to find a
job, he told me, and then he said he would send for Marina, his wife, and the child." She
invited Oswald to her home and remembered that he arrived on Monday (April 29) carrying
a small brown handbag, about 14 inches long.4
The following day (Tuesday, April30) Oswald telephoned Marina and told her
that he was staying with his aunt. Lillian Murret recalled, " ..... every morning he would
get up and go through the newspaper looking for a job, and he would go out every morning
with his newspaper, and he wouldn't come back until the afternoon, until supper
time. I had supper anywhere from 5 :30 to 6 o'clock, and he was there on time every day
for supper, and after supper he didn't leave the house. He would sit down about 6:30
or 7 o'clock, and look at some television programs, and then he would go right to bed,
and he did that every day while he was at the house."5
NOTE: When Lillian Murret was first interviewed by FBI Agents (October 1, 1963)
she said that Oswald did not stay at her home when he came to New Orleans in the summer of 1963. She said that he merely asked her if he could use her address while he was
seeking employment. From the available evidence it appears that Oswald lived at the ·
Murret's from April 29 thru May 9.
Shortly after Oswald's arrest on August 9 (Friday) FBI agents interviewed
Lillian Murret in her home at 757 French Street. She told the agents that when Oswald
first arrived in New Orleans (in April) he stayed at her home for a few days. She said that
a few days later a woman (Mrs. Paine) arrived in a brown station wagon with Marina and
their children, picked up Oswald, and helped him move to 4907 Magazine Street (on
May l1, 1963).

The day after the assassination the FBI office in New York received a telephone
call from Mrs. Jack Tippit, of Westport, Connecticut. Mrs. Tippit told FBI Agent James
McCarthy about a telephone call she had just received from a woman with a foreign
accent. The woman had read an article in the newspaper that identified Mrs. Tippit's
husband, Jack Tippit, as a relative of slain Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit. After reading
the article the woman decided to call the Tippits.
The woman told Mrs. Tippit that she was from New York and had come to
Westport, CN to make the telephone call so that the call could not be traced back to
her, as she was in fear for her life. The woman refused to identify herself and asked Mrs.
Tippit not to say anything to the press, as "they" would know who she was and "they"
would kill her. The woman said, "She knew Oswald's father and uncle who were Hungarians
and Communists." The woman continued, "Oswald's father and uncle had lived
at 77th and 2nd Avenue in Yorkville, New York City, and while living there they both
were unemployed, got their money from the Communists, and spent all their time on
Communist activities. "3 JFK101-08
