Chief Curry. I don’t know. Anyone that is in the administrative office or any other part of the police department could have gotten it.
Mr. Hubert. Do you remember who you got the information from?
Chief Curry. No, sir; I don’t.
Mr. Hubert. Was any consideration, Chief, given to putting all the press people out of the building or out of the basement altogether?
Chief Curry. No, sir.
Mr. Hubert. Was any consideration given to moving Oswald by a route other than the basement route?
Chief Curry. I think you asked me that once, and I don’t recall it. There may have been some discussion, but he could have been moved in another way by getting off on another floor. As I recall it, there was some brief discussion about it, but I think, as I recall it, Fritz didn’t want to move him other than in a routine manner.
Mr. Hubert. Do you know why?
Chief Curry. Because, as I recall it, he felt like this was the best way to do it, because if he got off on another floor, he wouldn’t be protected. He wouldn’t have much protection. You can’t take very many men with you on a small jail elevator. I believe it was Fritz I was discussing this with; I couldn’t be positive on that. As I recall it, there was some mention made of perhaps taking him out on the first floor and trying to get him outside that way, but it was decided that the best way would be to handle him through the basement.
Mr. Hubert. What was the reason for the suggestion that he be taken through another floor?
