Mr. Rankin. What happened? Were you down there at the time?
Mr. Curry. No, sir; I would have been but I received a call from my mayor and as I was fixing to go downstairs and I wish that I had been downstairs because I don't know that I could have done anything but you always have this feeling if you were there maybe you could have done something.
But I was called to the telephone and while I was talking to the mayor, why I heard some noises from downstairs and I was up on the third floor, and I heard some shouting, and someone came in and told me that Oswald had been shot.
Mr. Rankin. Did you learn how the shooting occurred?
Mr. Curry. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. Will you tell us?
Mr. Curry. I was told that someone sprang from the crowd and pushed a gun into his stomach and fired a shot.
Mr. Rankin. Do you know who that was?
Mr. Curry. I was told that the man was named Jack Ruby.
Mr. Rankin. What else did you learn about it?
