Mr. Hubert. You made those appointments?
Mr. Curry. Yes. Now, I didn't make all the appointments, because some of them were in those positions when I was appointed chief. I appointed Batchelor as assistant chief of police and I appointed Fisher, who is in charge of radio patrol, as deputy chief of police, and I think the rest of them were in their positions when I was made chief and I left them there.
Mr. Hubert. You had the authority to move them, I take it, but you chose to leave them there?
Mr. Curry. That's right.
Mr. Hubert. All right. Now, everybody else was in his position by virtue of civil service?
Mr. Curry. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Now, I would like to direct your attention to the time when the Dallas Police Department first arrested Oswald, and, I assume, became responsible for him and for his security. I believe that it was that he was arrested at the Texas Theatre?
Mr. Curry. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert. And almost immediately moved to the Dallas Police Department offices?
Mr. Curry. So I understand; yes.
