Mr. Hubert. Do you know what system of checking for identification was being used by the officers on the third floor guarding the elevator and staircase?
Mr. Curry. I don't know of my own knowledge. I could see them checking the people to see whether they were up to do police business or whether they were newsmen trying to cover the incident. We were carrying on the normal business we would conduct, and this would bring a great many people to the third floor, relatives of prisoners, complainants, various people that would come to the other bureaus.
Mr. Hubert. Normally, there would be no police checking those two elevators?
Mr. Curry. No, sir.
Mr. Hubert. So that, I suppose it is fair to state, isn't it, that the main function of that check was to keep curiosity seekers out of the way?
Mr. Curry. That's right—that's right.
Mr. Hubert. And to check also to see if anybody had any legitimate business there?
Mr. Curry. That's right.
Mr. Hubert. Well, I think we can just continue on then.
Mr. Curry. Well, after Oswald was arraigned, I went back to my office—I went home a little while after that and that was, I believe, Saturday night.
