Mr. Belin. Could you state the circumstances under which you were present? How you happened to be present?
Mr. Graves. Well, I had been told that we were going to transfer Lee Harvey Oswald, and we were told to make preparations to do that, so that would necessitate going into the office where he was.
Mr. Belin. What did you find when you went in the office?
Mr. Graves. Well, I found, of course, Lee Harvey Oswald, Captain Fritz, and the people that I have named here. The others present were Mr. Holmes from the U.S. Post Office Department, Mr. Kelley from the Secret Service, Agent Sorrels from the Secret Service, L. D. Montgomery, detective; C. N. Dhority, J. R. Leavelle; and Chief Curry came in just a few minutes before we started to move.
Mr. Belin. Did you participate in the bringing of Oswald down to be interrogated?
Mr. Graves. Yes.
Mr. Belin. At about what time in the morning, was this?
Mr. Graves. I think that was around 9:30 a.m.
Mr. Belin. Did you stay with him throughout the interrogation, or did you leave?
Mr. Graves. I stayed in the same room near. In the bureau, actually.
