Mr. Curry. Main and Houston, it runs.
"Detective Senkel was released back to Captain Fritz to assist in the investigation. He had come down. Sawyer had placed guards on the building to prevent anyone from going or coming. Sawyer organized a detail to check all persons and automobiles on the parking lot surrounding the Texas School Book Depository Building, taking their names, telephone numbers, addresses, places of employment, and later on in the afternoon those vehicles that were not taken out were checked by license number. Several of the U.S. Alcohol Tax units assisted in the search.
"At that time Lumpkin entered the building and instructed that it be completely sealed off and that no one be allowed to leave or enter."
This probably was some, I would say, some 30 or 40 minutes after the original shots were fired. He had gone on to Parkland Hospital to me and I told him there to return to assist in the handling of this matter.
Mr. McCloy. In your judgment is that the first sealing off of the building that took place?
Mr. Curry. No; I think Inspector Sawyer, when he arrived he took some steps to seal off the building.
Mr. Rankin. You have already testified about Inspector Sawyer and you said you thought he was about 10 or 12 blocks away.
Mr. Curry. I believe so. I believe he was about at Main and Akard Streets which would be about 10 blocks away when he heard of this incident occurring and he immediately went down there.
Mr. Dulles. And the first order to seal off was given some 10 minutes, I think you testified, in that neighborhood?
Mr. Curry. To the best of my knowledge.
