Robert Groden on the Three Tramps
Robert Groden, Ralph Schoenman, Dick Gregory and Stephen Jaffe were deposed by the Rockefeller Commission on March 26, 1975.
Robert Groden was questioned about the three tramps. He believed that two of them were E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis, but he would not state that it was definitive. Robert Olsen, counsel for the Commission, wanted to know if that was because Grosen was worried about a lawsuit. He said he wasn't concerned.
But Groden was convinced that the three tramps were "involved in the assassination of President Kennedy."
Money Quote:
Mr. Olsen: Or because you don't want to expose them to any damage to their reputation, and so on?
Mr. Groden: Let me state this as loudly and as clearly as I can. If I was worried about a lawsuit I wouldn't have taken a chance of being the man to liberate the Zapruder film. I am not worried about a lawsuit. Hunt and Sturgis are in all probability, cold-blooded killers by their own confessions, the way they have written. I have no fear of them. But if that is it not Hunt and Sturgis, the people who they are really are will go scot free, if people think it is Hunt and Sturgis. These men were to my way of thinking -- and I am totally in this -- were involved in the assassination of President Kennedy. They should be found and brought to trial.
Mr. Olsen: You mean these derelicts were involved in the assassination?
Mr. Groden: I would say beyond any shadow of a doubt at this point.
Groden makes a big deal out of a supposed listening device in the ear of one of the policemen.
