Mr. Hubert. I suppose that Oswald was moved in the course of the 24th a couple of times for interviews and so forth?
Lieutenant Wiggins. I know that I received a call from the fifth floor that some detectives from the homicide bureau were up there to take him out on what they call a "tempo," and this is to take him out for interrogation.
Mr. Hubert. When he was taken out that way, was he accompanied by the guard that you assigned?
Lieutenant Wiggins. No; the guard could not take him to the interrogation room.
Mr. Hubert. And "tempo," is a receipt for a prisoner which relieves you, temporarily, of the duties you have with respect to him?
Lieutenant Wiggins. That's true.
Mr. Hubert. And when he is brought back, your duties and responsibilities for his custody attach to you again?
Lieutenant Wiggins. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Now, did you have anything to do with the search of the basement for security?
Lieutenant Wiggins. No, sir; I was in and out of the basement looking it over, but I had no duties with the basement.
