Mr. Curry. I told them to let him talk to them in an attempt to get his attorney and in an attempt to get some of his relatives so they could arrange for it.
Mr. Rankin. Will you describe how it was handled for him to be able to talk on the telephone?
Mr. Curry. We take them from their cells and we have two telephones that they are taken to, and they are put on these telephones and they are locked in, and a guard stands by while they make their calls.
Mr. Rankin. Is that call secret or is there any listening in on it?
Mr. Curry. No, sir; it is not supposed to be secret. I mean it is supposed to be secret. It is privileged communication as far as we are concerned, we don't have a tap on the phone or anything.
Mr. Dulles. Did he use this?
Mr. Curry. Yes; he did.
Mr. Rankin. Do you know whether an attorney from Dallas was offered to him and came to the jail?
Mr. Curry. There were some members of the Civil Liberties Union came to see us that night, and they said they were concerned with whether or not he was being permitted legal counsel.
Mr. Rankin. Did they talk to you?
