Mr. Wade. The television and newsmen. I say 300, that was all that could get into that hall and to get into homicide it was a strain to get the door open hard enough to get into the office.
Mr. Rankin. Did you say anything to Chief Curry about that?
Mr. Wade. No, sir; I probably mentioned it but I assume you want—whether I meant he ought to clean them out or not. I didn't tell him he should or shouldn't because I have absolutely no control over the police. They are a separate entity. They have a municipality, and they work under a city manager.
Mr. Rankin. Did you say anything to Chief Curry about what should be told the press about investigation, how it was progressing or anything of that kind?
Mr. Wade. Yes; I think that is the brief conversation, that is the last I talked to Curry that night. I may have talked to—but that is all I recall. I left thereafter, and went on out to dinner.
Mr. Rankin. About what time did you leave?
Mr. Wade. 7, 7:30, something like that. I got home, say, 9:30 or 10, after eating dinner, and I believe I talked to the U.S. attorney or at least I saw it come on the radio that they are going to file on Oswald as part of an international conspiracy in murdering the U.S. President, and I think I talked to Barefoot Sanders. He called me or I called him.
Mr. Rankin. I wanted to get for the record, Mr. Wade, who would be trying to file like that.
Mr. Wade. I don't know. All I know it wasn't me. It was told to me at one time that the justice of the peace said something about it and another one, one of my assistants, Alexander had said something about it and I have talked to both of them since and both of them deny so I don't know who suggested it or anything but it was on the radio and I think on television.
I know I heard it and I am not sure where.
