Mr. Stern. Then what happened?
Mr. Clements. I introduced myself to the officers whose names I do not believe that I got, and also introduced myself to Oswald. Exhibited my credentials and told him that I would like to obtain from him some physical description, background, biographical data. He was agreeable, and I began my interview with him.
Mr. Stern. Can you approximate the time of day that this occurred—roughly?
Mr. Clements. I would say the interview began roughly at 10 p.m.
Mr. Stern. How long did it last? And was it interrupted?
Mr. Clements. I estimate the overall interview was approximately 30 or 35 minutes. I was interrupted twice, perhaps, during the interview, being informed that he was being taken out for a lineup. While he was gone I examined the contents of his wallet which was there on the desk, and identified to me as Oswald's wallet. When he returned I continued the interview.
Mr. Stern. Approximately how long was he gone?
Mr. Clements. I would estimate 10 or 15 minutes.
Mr. Stern. So, that the total amount of time that you spent with him was something like 20 minutes?
Mr. Clements. That would be a rough estimate.
