Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HARRISON. They are left in the car, they are in the cars.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And are they kept in a locked garage, is that it?
Mr. HARRISON. No; it is a two-story parking affair, enclosed in a fence
up to, you know----
Mr. GRIFFIN. And there is a guard on the fence?
Mr. HARRISON. No; there is no guard.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, was there any particular reason for taking that car
that day?
Mr. HARRISON. Well, we always park our personal car and pick up our
city car and drive over close to the city hall there.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I see. And it is part of your responsibility, you
ordinarily pick up a car?
Mr. HARRISON. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you have a particular car assigned to you?
Mr. HARRISON. No, no. We have a pool system.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you drive back with anybody to the police department?
Mr. HARRISON. No; I was alone that day.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I take it that you parked the car in the garage of the
municipal building and walked by the jail office?
Mr. HARRISON. To the elevator.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes. When you arrived, were there any newspaper people
down in the basement?
Mr. HARRISON. In the basement?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes, sir.
Mr. HARRISON. No, sir; not that I recall.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall whether there were any TV cameras set up
when you arrived that day in the basement?
Mr. HARRISON. No, sir; I don't.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When you came in, I take it that you came in down the Main
Street ramp?
Mr. HARRISON. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was there a guard on the Main Street ramp at the time that
you came?
Mr. HARRISON. Not at that time.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What did you do when you got up to the third floor? Is
that right?
Mr. HARRISON. I went to the juvenile bureau.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you go to the locker room first?
Mr. HARRISON. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You went right up to the juvenile bureau?
Mr. HARRISON. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. On the third floor?
Mr. HARRISON. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall who was there in the juvenile bureau when
you got in?
Mr. HARRISON. No. Goolsby was working the desk and Mrs. McLine was
there and Miller and Lowery. I believe Cutchshaw.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Anybody else that you recall?
Mr. HARRISON. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was Captain Martin there?
Mr. HARRISON. I don't recall seeing him when I first come in.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When you arrived, what did you do as soon as you arrived
up there in the juvenile bureau?
Mr. HARRISON. We checked to see what we had assigned to us. They assign
the beeves of a morning when we first come in and put a copy of it in
our drawer, and we always check the first thing to see if we have any
messages or if there has been anything assigned to us to work on.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And did you have anything assigned to you at that time to
work on?
Mr. HARRISON. I don't recall.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall what you did after you checked your
assignments?
Mr. HARRISON. Well, Miller and I went to eat breakfast. I don't know
the exact time.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How long would you estimate that was after you arrived?
