United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
They had already left to go to the cafe, but it was about 9 o'clock.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Who were they?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. Blackie Harrison and L. D. Miller.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Who did you say that to?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. I believe I asked Captain Martin if he wanted me to call
and tell them to come back. He said tell them to get back as soon as
possible.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you call over at the cafe?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. I asked somebody what the number was, and I think it was
a man on the desk, but it was Goolsby was the one that made the call. I
am not sure as to whether he did or not. I know somebody had to look it
up in the book what the number was over there.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You don't recall whether you made the telephone call or
Goolsby made it?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. I sure don't.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall where it was you called?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. I know where they went. I say I think I do. The Deluxe
Diner, right across from the library on Commerce.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How did you happen to know that?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. Because that is where they said they were going. That is
what we call the "greasy spoon."
Mr. GRIFFIN. Have you talked to Miller and Harrison about their
testimony before the Commission?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Were you on duty yesterday?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What duty hours are you working now?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. I work from 8 to 4.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What are your days off?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall what happened? Do you recall Harrison and
Miller coming back from the diner?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. No; I know the next time I saw them they were down in
the basement.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall anybody coming in and directing you to go
down to the basement?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Who was that?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. Captain O. A. Jones.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What time would you estimate that was?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. Well, I believe that was just before 11 o'clock.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How do you fix the time at 11 o'clock?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. Well, I know we weren't down there too long, and when
they brought Oswald and he was shot, I think it was a little after 11,
or 20 minutes after, something like that.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall who all went downstairs with you at that
time?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. I think it was Detective Goolsby, R. L. Lowery, and
myself, and I don't remember who else went down. I know we three were
together.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall what happened when you got out of the
elevator?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. Yes; we walked into this little hallway lobby deal right
in front of the jail office, and we had to wait there for a while. They
had an officer on guard there at the entrance to the hallway.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall who that officer was?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. No, sir; I don't.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, when you left the jail office, who was it you said
went down with you? Goolsby, Lowery, and who else?
Mr. CUTCHSHAW. That is the only two, is Officer Goolsby, Lowery, and
myself.
