Mr. Griffin. Were you aware of an earlier plan to take him by way of Elm Street rather than Main?
Mr. Montgomery. He said that the armored car was supposed to go up Elm Street and act as a decoy.
Mr. Griffin. What else did he tell you about how he was going to be moved?
Mr. Montgomery. Of course, he said, no; he wanted Graves on one side and Leavelle on the other, and wanted Leavelle to handcuff himself to Oswald there so he wouldn’t get away, and said, “I’ll lead the way out.” And told me, said, “I want you to follow behind Oswald,” which I did.
Mr. Griffin. Did he tell you what you were supposed to do?
Mr. Montgomery. Huh?
Mr. Griffin. Did he tell you what you were supposed to do?
Mr. Montgomery. Make sure he didn’t get away.
Mr. Griffin. Was there some concern that Oswald might try to get away? Was this actually discussed, the possibility that Oswald might try to escape?
Mr. Montgomery. I don’t know that there was anything actually discussed about him trying to get away. No.
