Mr. Griffin. Had you received some word before that?
Mr. Beaty. Everybody in the world, at 10 o'clock. They said in the newspaper and radio.
Mr. Griffin. By this time when the boys in your group went out for coffee, had there been any instructions to standby?
Mr. Beaty. None.
Mr. Griffin. Did you later receive some instructions to standby to help in the Oswald move?
Mr. Beaty. As Capt. O. A. Jones got off the elevator, and as he walked by, he said, "Come here, I want to talk to you."
Mr. Griffin. Did this take place in the basement?
Mr. Beaty. Right by the elevator door to the basement. He said there will be some officers come down from the third floor, and told me to wait for them right here, and he indicated close by the entrance to the jail office.
Mr. Griffin. Now Detective Beaty, what is your best estimate of how long this encounter with Jones was before Oswald actually came downstairs?
Mr. Beaty. What time did he get shot? It was about probably 30 minutes before he actually came down and Ruby shot him.
