Mr. Beers. There was several police cars that came into the basement and out, and if I remember correctly, after this armored car was stationed there. I don’t recall that there were any other squad cars that came into the basement.
The reason I recall them was because they were stopping there just about right where I was standing and looking into the back seats and so forth.
Mr. Griffin. Do you recall a TV camera being wheeled into the basement shortly before Jack Ruby shot Oswald?
Mr. Beers. No, sir; I don’t. A big live camera?
Mr. Griffin. Yes.
Mr. Beers. I don’t recall seeing that. I may have, but I don’t recall seeing it.
Mr. Griffin. Now at the time that Oswald was brought out, do you recall how people were, newspeople and policemen, were stationed in the basement? Do you recall roughly how they were spread out?
Mr. Beers. Roughly, they were asked to get into somewhat of an L-shaped position here, which would be that the news people would be across the driveway like so, and this area here in front of the cameras was more or less open.
There was some people moving back over here in this area just a little bit, and then from approximately right in front of myself to up this ramp, towards the Commerce Street exit was roughly the position that the, this was the position people were asked to get into, that they assumed that, roughly.
Mr. Griffin. Now, do you have any recollection if the people were more densely stationed along the Main Street ramp than along the area in front of the entrance to the garage, or vice versa, or were they more densely stationed in front of the garage than elsewhere?
