Chief Curry. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. It was held really at the request of the press?
Chief Curry. Yes, sir; I remember that I asked Mr. Wade if he thought it would be all right, and he said he didn’t see anything wrong with it.
Mr. Hubert. I understand also that you told the press that——
Chief Curry. They must not ask any questions and try to interview him in any way.
Mr. Hubert. Or you would terminate?
Chief Curry. And I did terminate it very quickly, because when Oswald was brought into the room, immediately they began to shoot questions at him and shove microphones into his face, and we kept him there a very short time, and I told them to take him away, take him back up to the jail, and they did. Mr. Wade remained in the room with the reporters after that. I left when the prisoner left.
Mr. Hubert. Now do you know of the fact that a tape recording device was placed on the telephone of Mayor Cabell to pick up really any threatening calls that might be received by him? Are you aware of that?
Chief Curry. I believe that we did that. I think our special services bureau went to his house.
Mr. Hubert. Is that tape recording of those calls still in existence?
