Mr. Hubert. Then, you went home?
Mr. Curry. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Then, let's pick up with the 24th.
Mr. Curry. On Sunday morning, I came down to the office, and, as I recall, it was probably 8:30 or 8:45 when I got to the office, and as I parked my car in the basement of the city hall and started up to our office, I noticed that a large camera had been set up out in the hallway between the jail office and the end of the corridor immediately in front of the jail office, and it was in the way of traffic, and Lieutenant Wiggins came out and I told him—I told Lieutenant Wiggins, I said, "You are going to have to move this camera out of here," and then I told Wiggins, I said, "Now, if the news media come down here and want in, put them over behind the rail." There is a rail separating the ramp that comes down in the basement from the parking area. There were two cars in there, I believe a patrol wagon and a squad car and I told him to move those vehicles out and if the news media came down and wanted to observe from the basement, that they were to be placed back over in this area.
Mr. Hubert. Is it fair to state, then, that in your own mind, you had determined that the way to move him was through the basement area?
Mr. Curry. Yes. I believe about this—Chief Stevenson and Chief Batchelor approached me—I think they had been there earlier, and I told them I thought the best thing to do was to set up our security down there and bring Oswald down there and transfer him on to the county jail.
I went on up to the office and Chief Batchelor and Chief Stevenson, I think, remained in the basement a while and Captain Talbert was down there.
Mr. Hubert. Did you delegate to any specific person the security of Oswald?
Mr. Curry. No, sir; I could see that he was being taken care of by the captain on duty, Captain Talbert, and Lieutenant Wiggins was assisting in it, so I didn't see any need to particularly call some officer over there and say, "Look, you are in charge of this security in this basement." It was being taken care of, I could see.
Mr. Hubert. Well, for the record, will you tell us what you saw that satisfied you that it was being taken care of?
