Mr. Griffin. That is the important thing. I would rather have you fix it in terms of that time rather than some specific time.
Mr. Beaty. Around 30 minutes or something like this.
Mr. Griffin. Because I noticed in the interview which you gave to the FBI, you indicated that this was about 10 o'clock that you saw Jones. Did you have any idea at the time when you gave this interview to Agents Dallman and Quigley—that was on December 3—did you have anything specific in mind when you told them that it was 10 o'clock.
Mr. Beaty. I just was trying to remember when Captain Jones told me to remain there. No; I was just trying to remember about the lapse of time, it seemed to me like.
Mr. Griffin. Let me ask you to look over this with me. Let me point out, you indicated here that you thought Oswald came down about 11:30?
Mr. Beaty. I do.
Mr. Griffin. Now, they have reported that you told them that it was 10 o'clock. Now it may be that that was that time it could be a mistake on their part writing it down?
Mr. Beaty. Well, I don't know.
Mr. Griffin. Go ahead.
Mr. Beaty. Boy, it is hard to remember, but it seems to me like he breezed through in just probably about 30 minutes—could possibly be longer—after Mr. Jones told me this. I waited around for probably another 4 or 5 minutes and the elevator doors opened up, and here all the officers from the third floor, and we moved from there out into the middle hallway. And they describe it here as a, whatever, I don't know, right outside the jail office door, the little hall where they brought him out of the jail office door there, and we remained there for about 30 minutes. And if the shooting actually occurred around 11:30, I have made an error about the original time Captain Jones said that.
