This was—I got down around 9 o'clock—I mean around 8 o'clock, correction—and it must have been somewhere around 8:30 or 8:45 when he called Decker.
Mr. Griffin. How long did you talk with him before he called Sheriff Decker?
Chief Batchelor. Just a few minutes. He called Sheriff Decker, and Decker said—and I was hearing only one side of the conversation, but I gathered that Decker had told him he thought he was going to move the prisoner. Curry said, "Well, if you want us to, we will." So he said, "I think you've got more manpower than we have. You move him if you will."
Then we had discussed this threat that had been received and——
Mr. Griffin. You and——
Chief Batchelor. Curry.
Mr. Griffin. Did Curry mention the threat to Decker in the telephone conversation?
Chief Batchelor. I just don't remember whether he did or not. I would think reasonably that he did, but I don't remember.
Mr. Griffin. When Chief Curry talked with Decker, did he make any mention of what time Oswald would be moved?
Chief Batchelor. He didn't set any definite time. He told him that Captain Fritz wanted to question Oswald again that morning, and that when he got through, they would be ready to move him, and he thought this would be sometime after 10 o'clock.
