Mr. Griffin. Would you want to take my pen and on this statement would you want to put a circle around the 10 o'clock and make some note out on the side that what you meant was 30 minutes before the shooting, or whatever you think was the accurate time?
Mr. Beaty. Gosh, I don't remember. I just can't remember to save my life what time it was.
Mr. Griffin. How is your memory as to the fact that it was about 30 minutes before the shooting?
Mr. Beaty. Thirty minutes, may be an hour. That times passes so fast along in there.
Mr. Griffin. Do you think it could have been longer than an hour?
Mr. Beaty. I don't think so; no, sir.
Mr. Griffin. Would it be fair to say, and I want you to be very frank about this, because I don't want to change this in any way that isn't fair, would it be fair to change this time 10 a.m., to read——
Mr. Beaty. That it was 10 or 10:30, would that be all right, because I don't remember?
Mr. Griffin. To read a half hour or—to an hour before Oswald was shot?
Mr. Beaty. Well, I don't carry a watch so I never know what time it is unless I ask somebody and it would be a matter of kind of remembering, and if you want to say 10 or 10:30, that would be about the same time, wouldn't it?
