Mr. Griffin. Now, just before Oswald was brought down, where were the rest of the news people placed?
Chief Batchelor. They were along here.
Mr. Griffin. That is blocking the garage entrance?
Chief Batchelor. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. About how many people would you say were in that area?
Chief Batchelor. I don't know. Altogether there must have been, gee, we had around 70 policemen in that basement altogether, and there must have been 60 or 70 reporters and photographers and press people. They were fairly deep across here. But this is wider and they were two or three deep across there.
Mr. Griffin. You want to mark in there where you have indicated?
Chief Batchelor. [Marks chart.]
Mr. Griffin. Would you say that they were deeper across the entrance to the garage than they were blocking the Main Street ramp, or were they about the same?
Chief Batchelor. I wasn't paying too close attention to how deep they were. There was more than one line of them.
