Mr. Eberhardt. No; he was standing. We were all standing.
Mr. Griffin. You were able to look over his shoulder?
Mr. Eberhardt. Oh, yes; I had a full view of the room.
Mr. Griffin. Do you recall what other police officers were down there with you guarding Oswald and looking out?
Mr. Eberhardt. Well, Mr. Wade was there; Chief Curry was there; Captain King was there.
Mr. Griffin. What other detectives were guarding Oswald?
Mr. Eberhardt. Well, homicide detectives were there. I don’t know which ones they were. The ones that, you know, were working on him, probably Leavelle and his partner. Joe Cody was there. That is the only ones I remember. And there was some uniform men from the jail, I believe, there.
Mr. Griffin. Now, did you stay after Oswald left?
Mr. Eberhardt. Until they got him out. I didn’t have anything to do with transporting him to or from the assembly room, but when he initially arrived in the assembly room, they asked us to go up there more or less to keep the reporters from making a rush for him.
Mr. Griffin. How did you happen to go down to the assembly room in the first place?
