Mr. Beaty. Yes, and before they brought Oswald out, there was some photographers in this area inside the jail office.
Mr. Griffin. You have placed circles in the jail office where there were photographers?
Mr. Beaty. And they were removed by a uniformed officer and asked to come out here, or out here, or back here, and I recall some of them went this way and went on out and took their place.
Mr. Griffin. Some of them went toward the garage area and some on the Main Street ramp?
Mr. Beaty. Some came back through these double doors, and were standing along this hallway like they might be going to try to photograph through the window. I remember one guy had a big shoulder camera and one at—at one of these windows here.
Mr. Griffin. So, is it fair to say that one of the functions you people served in standing along the wall that you were on, was to make sure that as these photographers cleared out the jail office, they didn't line up along the wall?
Mr. Beaty. Yes; also, to double check this double door after he went by, and somebody might have gotten instructions, I don't remember whether they did or not.
Mr. Griffin. Now, detective, after Oswald was shot, did you go into the jail office?
Mr. Beaty. Yes, sir.
Mr. Griffin. Did you go upstairs with Ruby?
