Mr. Rankin. Did you make an inquiry in regard to the progress?

Mr. Curry. I think I did. I asked him how he was coming along and he said they were making good progress.

Mr. Rankin. Then what happened after that?

Mr. Curry. They had had a couple of showups with Oswald so witnesses could attempt to identify him.

Mr. Rankin. Do you know whether they had gone out to Beckley Street to the place where he had stayed?

Mr. Curry. I understood they had and I understood they went back the next day.

Mr. Rankin. What do you mean by a showup?

Mr. Curry. Well, it is customary when you have suspects in a crime where you have witnesses, that they be taken into a room and allowed, the witnesses, to observe them in the presence of other people.

Mr. Rankin. You have a room for this purpose?

Mr. Curry. Yes, sir; we do.
