Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you meet Captain Arnett down at the police department? Mr. CROY. Yes, I did. Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you talk with him before this statement was drawn up? Mr. CROY. No, sir. Mr. GRIFFIN. Who did you talk to before the statement was drawn up? Mr. CROY. Lieutenant Revill. Mr. GRIFFIN. Did Lieutenant Revill have any information before him about this, about your having seen Ruby? Did Lieutenant Revill have any information before him about your having seen Ruby go into the, brush by you? Mr. CROY. No. Mr. GRIFFIN. He didn't have any information to that effect? Mr. CROY. No. Mr. GRIFFIN. How did you happen to be called down there? Mr. CROY. Because of my position in the basement where I was standing when he shot Oswald. Mr. GRIFFIN. All right. Now, what did Captain Solomon say to you when you told what you had seen to Revill? Did Revill indicate that he had heard about this before, about your having been a witness to this? Mr. CROY. Not that I recall. Mr. GRIFFIN. Was anybody else there? Mr. CROY. Yes; Lieutenant, I think his name is Cornwall, he was present. Mr. GRIFFIN. Did either of them indicate surprise by having seen this? Mr. CROY. No. Mr. GRIFFIN. You got the impression from the way they spoke, or any impression from the way they spoke, that they had heard this information before? Mr. CROY. Well, they didn't act surprised. They didn't act like they didn't know about it. It kind of tied in with the other reports that they had gotten, I presume, from the way they acted. Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, what was the general attitude on their part in the taking of these statements. Did you feel that there was some, Cornwall and Revill were concerned about this situation? Mr. CROY. Yes; they were. Mr. GRIFFIN. How would you describe their general attitude in this interview? Mr. CROY. They were very interested. Mr. GRIFFIN. Well, can you tell me more about that? Mr. CROY. No; well, I will put it this way, that it took us 8 hours to get that up. That is how interested they were. Mr. GRIFFIN. You talked with them for 8 hours? Mr. CROY. On 2 different occasions. That day and the next day, for 4 hours each day. That is pretty interesting. Mr. GRIFFIN. Mr. Croy, I take it that you actually talked to them on November, the last day of November was the first time you talked to them, and then you signed this on the first day of December? Mr. CROY. What it was, the stenographer took it, and then she typed it up. Then the next day I went back down there and they re-read it to me and went over and over and over and over the same thing over and over again. And then I took it into Lieutenant Curtis and signed it and had it notarized. Mr. GRIFFIN. Was that examination the way you and I have been going back and forth here? Mr. CROY. Yes. Mr. GRIFFIN. Were there a number of drafts to this statement? You say it took you 2 days to draw this up. Had you written a number? Mr. CROY. No. Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you write something first?
