Mr. Montgomery. Well, everybody’s hands were going all over him; so, I am sure they were searching.
Mr. Griffin. Were his pockets turned out?
Mr. Montgomery. No; they didn’t actually turn them wrong side out; no, because everything would have fell out.
Mr. Griffin. What did you do at that point?
Mr. Montgomery. Well, after Graves showed us where the pistol was, of course, we knew that he didn’t have it on him then. Then Chief Batchelor walked by here. Chief Batchelor is our assistant chief of police, and I asked if he wanted Ruby—to get Ruby in the jail, and he said, “Yes.”
We then picked up Ruby and came around the corner here to the jail office. I mean the jail elevator there, and they took him upstairs to the jail, and I returned over to where Captain Fritz and Graves, Leavelle were with Oswald.
Mr. Griffin. Who was “they” that took him upstairs?
Mr. Montgomery. Well, “Blackie” Harrison and Archer, McMillon.
Mr. Griffin. Was Clardy with them?
Mr. Montgomery. Clardy was down there if he wasn’t with them—I just don’t know. I know there was four or five of them there that went up, Cutchshaw, Lowery.
