Mr. Curry. No, sir; he did not.
Mr. Rankin. Did you give any instructions about the security or how he should be protected during this time?
Mr. Curry. No; I personally didn't. Deputy Chief Lumpkin, who has charge of the service division which is the jail security, he told me that he had ordered that two guards be placed on him right outside his cell and kept there 24 hours a day as long as we had him.
Mr. Rankin. Do you know what was done about that?
Mr Curry. It was carried out. He told me that this was carried out.
Mr. Rankin. Did you have any further difficulty with the media, the various press and radio and television representatives during this time?
Mr. Curry. Well, every time we would walk out of the office they would besiege you with questions and wanting statements and asking what we had found out, and did we think this was the right man, and they almost ran over you.
Mr. Rankin. What did you do about that?
Mr. Curry. I tried to maintain some order. I didn't order them out of the building, which if I had it to do over I would. In the past like I say, we had always maintained very good relations with our press, and they had always respected us, and this was something, the first time we experienced anything like this, to this degree.
Mr. Rankin. Did you have any tape recordings of the interviews with Mr. Oswald?
