Warren Commission (12 of 26): Hearings Vol. XII (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. You saw one car?
Mr. CROY. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, during the period that you were in the basement
generally before you were stationed at the ramp, did you see any cars
go in and out of the garage or basement area?
Mr. CROY. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Can you describe how much traffic there was?
Mr. CROY. No. There wasn't any squads bringing prisoners in, that I
recall. I don't recall any of that.
I recall one car leaving, going up the south ramp, one car that I know
of, because I knew who was in that car.
And other than that one and the one that went up the north ramp, I
don't recall any other cars going out of the basement area. There could
have been.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, how much before you saw that one last car go up the
Main Street ramp, how long would you say you had been in the basement?
How long before that had you been at your station in the basement?
Mr. CROY. What do you mean?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Let me start over again. How long had you been at this
station which you had at the base of the Main Street ramp prior to the
time that the last car went up the Main Street ramp?
Mr. CROY. How long had I been in the basement before then?
Mr. GRIFFIN. How long had you been in the general area at the base of
the ramp? Continuously?
Mr. CROY. I don't know, I guess a couple or 3 minutes, something like
that. I remember that because he nearly ran over my toes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. While you were standing at the base of the ramp prior to
the time that the car went up the ramp, do you remember whether any
equipment of any sort was moved into the basement area?
Mr. CROY. Equipment?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
Mr. CROY. Just anything moved in there?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
Mr. CROY. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall any activities of newspaper people or of TV
people?
Mr. CROY. Oh, they were milling all over the place.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall any movement of equipment?
Mr. CROY. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you remember a TV camera being rolled through the
swinging double doors at the entrance, almost at the entrance to
the Main Street ramp or the bottom ramp, and being wheeled in any
direction? Being pushed, a TV camera?
Mr. CROY. I don't recall any bringing in there. They had them down
there in the basement all morning, that I remember. I don't remember
bringing in any more in there.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Where do you recall the three TV cameras being stationed
there? At this point I would like to hand you my pen and ask you if you
would mark on there?
Mr. CROY. You want an "X"?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Make a rectangle and write TV inside of it.
Mr. CROY. [Marks.]
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, you have indicated on the map that there were two
behind the railing, sort of directly opposite the hallway that leads
out from the double doors?
Mr. CROY. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And that there was a third one over against the railing of
the entrance to the garage closer to Commerce Street?
Mr. CROY. Yes.
