Chief Batchelor. Well, as I believe I stated in my previous deposition, when I arrived there I parked my car in the basement and shortly, just moments after I arrived, Chief Stevenson arrived. We walked into the city hall from the basement.
Mr. Hubert. Do you remember what time that was, sir?
Chief Batchelor. Somewhere around 8 in the morning. We noticed a TV camera in the hallway leading from the vestibule of the basement into the garage of the basement, and we commented that this was going to have to be moved. We went on upstairs to the office.
Mr. Hubert. You commented?
Chief Batchelor. To Chief Stevenson. We went upstairs, and shortly thereafter Chief Curry arrived, and he had noticed this camera too, and we discussed it and said we would have to get it moved. There was no one around it. It was just sitting there.
Mr. Hubert. This was in what you call the jail corridor?
Chief Batchelor. Just outside the jail corridor.
Mr. Hubert. On the ramp side of the swinging doors?
Chief Batchelor. Yes; we went back—we came, after discussing this with Chief Curry, and he told us we better go down and take a look and see what we were going to need in the way of security—we went downstairs and gave instructions, I believe, to the jail supervisor that whoever had that camera, when they showed up, to tell them they would have to move it.
Mr. Hubert. Was that before or after the decision was made that the city police would move Oswald rather than the sheriff’s office?
