Mr. Rankin. You haven't tried to find out?
Mr. Curry. No, sir; I haven't.
Mr. Rankin. Do you have any practice in the police force about recording statements by the accused in first-degree murder cases?
Mr. Curry. No, sir.
Mr. Rankin. Now changing to another subject, do you recall—you said that you had made some comments upon the evidence in regard to Oswald and to the media—do you recall what you said about that?
Mr. Curry. I believe I told them it had been reported that we had an FBI report that they had been able to trace that weapon where he had ordered it from Chicago, and it had been picked up under the name of Hidell and that the handwriting was the same on the order blank as Oswald's.
Mr. Rankin. Was this told to a news conference or over the TV?
Mr. Curry. Well, the TV was there. It was not a news conference. I was walking down the hall, and they surrounded me.
Mr. Rankin. Did you tell them anything else about the evidence you had against Oswald?
Mr. Curry. I only told them I believed that we had some other evidence, but I didn't tell them what it was.
