Mr. Curry. I was not present but I believe it was about 7:30.
Mr. Rankin. That same evening?
Mr. Curry. Yes; that would be about 5 hours afterwards.
Mr. Rankin. Do you recall whether he was arrested first for the assassination or for the Tippit murder?
Mr. Curry. For the Tippit murder. There were some witnesses to this murder and they had observed him as he left the scene, and this was what he was arrested for.
The Chairman. May I interrupt just to ask the chief a question?
Chief, on your arraignments does the magistrate advise the petitioner as to his right to counsel?
Mr. Curry. Yes, sir; he does.
The Chairman. Does he ask him if he has counsel?
Mr. Curry. I don't recall him doing that. I am not customarily present when a person is arraigned.
