FIRST REPORTS OUT OF DALLAS
THE FORT WORTH STAR TELEGRAM, 11/24/63

A paraffin test showed positive results on both the hands and cheek 
of the 24-year-old ex-Marine.  This, officers said, showed that the 
man had fired a gun, probably a rifle.

Joe Rodriguez Molina, a co-worker of Oswald's, was given a lie 
detector test and was being questioned.  His home was also 
searched.

As evidence mounted Saturday night, information from a Dallas 
couple placed Oswald at the intersection of the building used by the 
assassin a short time after the fatal shots were fired.  Leon Stanfield 
and his wife, Diane, who had heard an early radio report of the 
shooting, told police they stopped their car for a red light at the 
intersection and asked a young man they later identified as Oswald: 
"Is the President dead?"  Mrs. Stanfield said the man replied, "No, 
he's going to wait and let us hang him."

Oswald was on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's list as a 
suspected subversive.  Police here said the FBI knew Oswald was 
in Dallas working in a building that fronted the President's 
motorcade route.

A spokesman for the FBI in Washington, however, denied Saturday 
that the FBI had questioned Oswald or had him under surveillance 
at any time in recent months.
