Mr. Hubert. Yes; but you didn't learn that Mr. Hoover had sent word that great care should be taken for the security?
Mr. Stevenson. Not at that time, I had not; no, sir.
Mr. Hubert. Will you tell us without detail, generally speaking, of your activities on the rest of the 22d, and the 23d.
Mr. Stevenson. After I was advised that he had definitely been identified and from evidence which was being checked, it looked like he possibly might be the same man who shot the President. I returned to my office in the administrative offices, and was in and out of the homicide bureau on numerous times, staying in touch with the investigation, and they were in touch with my office.
About 7 p.m., I believe it was 7, approximately 7, Oswald was filed on for the murder of Officer Tippit, and was arraigned in the Police and Courts Building by Justice of the Peace Dave Johnston, I believe it was.
Now at approximately, I would say, 7 or 8 o'clock, some word came to me from Chief Curry, which apparently was from Mr. Hoover or someone from Washington, that they wanted an agent of the FBI or Secret Service present at all interviews. That was the first that I had heard of anything from this, and that came to me through Chief Curry.
At about 12 midnight, I was advised by Lieutenant Wells, and I talked to Mr. Alexander, assistant district attorney, and Mr. Jim Allen, former first assistant district attorney and a friend of the department, and was advised that sufficient evidence had been obtained and that charges were being filed in the death of President Kennedy.
Mr. Hubert. Charges against Oswald?
Mr. Stevenson. Oswald; yes, sir. He was arraigned.
Mr. Hubert. They did not tell you at that time, did they, what evidence it was, but simply that it was sufficient evidence?
