Mr. Dean. Oh, maybe 10 or 15 minutes.
Mr. Griffin. And do you recall if you went into the homicide bureau?
Mr. Dean. Sometime during that morning I did step into the homicide bureau. However, I don't know who I talked to. And then there wasn't any specific reason that I did go in there. I just stepped in. The hall was very crowded. It might have been just that I was close to the homicide office and I stepped in there to get out of the crowd, because it was the least congested. There were no newsmen or pressmen in there, no cameras.
Mr. Griffin. Were you able to tell, when you were up there at about 8 o'clock, what the general impression seemed to be as to when Oswald would be moved?
Mr. Dean. The impression I got, there was anticipation from the newsmen that—and the hopes of the newsmen, that he would probably be moved that day.
Mr. Griffin. But as to how early in the day, did you get any idea of what they were thinking of?
Mr. Dean. No, sir. This was at anytime. This was the impression I got, at anytime he could be moved. They were ready to start shooting, or go live television, I am sure, at anytime, at a moment's notice.
Mr. Griffin. Did they ask you any particular questions?
Mr. Dean. None specific; no, sir.
Mr. Griffin. Did they attempt to approach you or shout things at you?
