Mr. Stern. I would like to clear up one point, Mr. Bookhout, about the number of interviews on Saturday. Your present recollection is that there were how many in which you participated?
Mr. Bookhout. Two on Saturday.
Mr. Stern. One at about what time and the other at what time?
Mr. Bookhout. One was about 10:35 a.m., and the second one was about 6:30 p.m.
Mr. Stern. You do not now recall any separate interview at about 12:30 on Saturday?
Mr. Bookhout. I don't specifically recall any separate interview at that time. I checked the record before coming over and the interviews that I have mentioned are the only ones I have in the report.
Mr. Stern. Would you describe briefly the conditions in the corridor outside the homicide and robbery area.
Mr. Bookhout. On November 22 and 23, the hallway in front of the homicide and robbery bureau located on the third floor of the city hall building was jammed with news media. From the elevator area to the end of the hallway, extending on past the homicide and robbery bureau entrance.
Mr. Stern. Could you hear anything from the hallway when you were in the interrogation room?
Mr. Bookhout. No; there were two Dallas Police officers on duty at the entrance to the homicide and robbery bureau, who required you to identify yourself being that—before being allowed entrance into the bureau. The interviews of Oswald were conducted in the private offices of Capt. J. W. Fritz, located within the same bureau, and the door to the private office was closed, and we did not hear any commotion going on outside in the halls while the interviews were in progress.
