Mr. Stovall. No, sir; not that day, I did the next day.
Mr. Ball. Rose searched the garage that day?
Mr. Stovall. Yes, sir; he was out in the garage. We were going over the stuff pretty hastily at that time—that day.
Mr. Ball. How long were you there that day—how long were you there?
Mr. Stovall. I would say for approximately 2 to 2½ hours, if that long.
Mr. Ball. Now, when you first went in, did Ruth Paine say anything to you about expecting you, or something of that sort?
Mr. Stovall. Yes, sir; when we first came to the door and knocked on the door, she came to the door and she says, and we identified ourselves, she said "I have been expecting you. You are here about this mess that's on television," and the "mess that's on television" at the time she was talking about was when they were talking about the President's murder.
Mr. Ball. And Oswald had been apprehended at that time?
Mr. Stovall. Yes, he had, but he had been apprehended before we got there.
Mr. Ball. Before you got there Oswald had been arrested and brought into the office?
