Warren Commission (04 of 26): Hearings Vol. IV (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. CURRY. Only what Deputy Chief Lumpkin in his report here in a
chronological report that we made, and you have this, as best we could,
after this occurred, the deputy chiefs and myself all sat down together
went over this from the time we received notice that the President
would visit Dallas until the shooting of Oswald, and step by step we
tried to go through this as to what we did, and this is what we call a
chronological report.
Representative FORD. If there is a report in anybody's files in the
Dallas Police department on what transpired during this investigation
of the building, there would be no reason why that report couldn't be
made available?
Mr. CURRY. No, sir; if we have one it certainly would be made available.
Representative FORD. Will you check the files of the department and
if there is a report available will you submit it to the Commission,
please?
Mr. CURRY. Yes, sir; I was trying to.
Mr. RANKIN. Chief Curry, I think that your chronological report does
not purport to go into the detail of how the search was made and so
forth.
Mr. CURRY. No, sir; it just states in here how Chief Lumpkin, how he
formed the search and it tells something about while he was there.
Mr. McCLOY. The chronological report part of our record yet?
Mr. BELIN. We have a chronological report, yes.
Mr. McCLOY. Is this the same one as the Chief is looking at?
Mr. RANKIN. We will check that.
Mr. DULLES. It is not yet an exhibit, is it?
Mr. RANKIN. No; we have, and we were discussing yesterday, a number of
items in the form of affidavits and other evidence that we will have
to introduce into the record of the Commission before we get through
which has been examined by the staff and in some cases called to the
Commission's attention but is not formally a matter of record and we
will have to complete that before we can complete our report.
Mr. McCLOY. Is that the same chronological report that the Chief has?
Mr. CURRY. If it isn't I can leave you these copies but they were
submitted to Attorney General Carr, two copies. This is what is in
this report. "Upon arrival,"--this is Chief Lumpkin--"Upon arrival
at the Texas School Book Depository we found Inspector Sawyer was in
front of the building and with the assistance of other officers was
in the process of detaining anyone or everyone who had any knowledge
whatsoever of the shooting. This was discussed with Sawyer. We decided
that we would get all persons in that category away from the crowd by
sending them to Sheriff Decker's office"--which is about a half block
from here--"at Main and Houston to be held for further interrogation.
Homicide Detective Turner was sent to the sheriff's office to represent
the homicide bureau of our department and interrogating these
witnesses."
Mr. DULLES. That is where the sheriff's office was?
Mr. CURRY. Main and Houston, it runs.
