Warren Commission (14 of 26): Hearings Vol. XIV (of 15)

The recorded hearings in this volume capture a day of intense questioning by the President’s Commission as it sought to piece together the chaotic events surrounding President Kennedy’s assassination. Listeners will hear witnesses ranging from friends and family of a key suspect to a government polygraph expert, each offering their own recollections, observations, and professional assessments. The dialogue is presented verbatim, preserving the formal tone of the legal setting while revealing the human details that emerged when officials probed memory and motive.

Beyond the raw testimony, the transcripts include references to dozens of exhibits—photographs, notebooks, and official documents—that were introduced as evidence. As the commission’s counsel and staff members guide the examination, the audience gains a sense of the procedural rigor and the early uncertainties that shaped the investigation. This collection offers a rare, unfiltered glimpse into the foundational stage of one of America’s most scrutinized inquiries.
