Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GRIFFIN. When Fritz came out and talked about this, where were you
standing?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. What’s that?
Mr. GRIFFIN. When he sent these two men up.
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Yes; told them to go up and get him.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Where were you standing?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Just outside of the office door.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And Fritz was outside of the office door?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Stepped up to the door there.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did he give you any instructions?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. No; didn’t tell me anything in particular right then.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What is your estimate of what time that was?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Let’s see, approximately around 9 o’clock, somewhere
around 9.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When, between the time you arrived and the time Fritz came
out, did you talk with anybody about the possible movement of Oswald to
the county jail?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. I was trying to think. No--let’s see, I don’t believe I
did.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was there any conversation in the office during that
period?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. While they were gone out?
Mr. GRIFFIN. While you were there, conversation that you didn’t
participate in, necessarily, but other people were talking about the
movement of Oswald to the county jail?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. No, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Prior to the time that Fritz asked that these two officers
bring Oswald downstairs, had you heard anything about the movement of
Oswald?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. I think right before they told them to go up, said, “We
are going to transfer him here around 10 o’clock.” I think is what he
said, and that is when he sent a couple of officers to, you know, to
get him and bring him down.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What was your understanding as to what was going to be
done when Oswald was brought down?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Going to talk to him a little bit and transfer him, you
know, down to the county.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Up to this time, had you heard anything about a threat
that may have been made in connection with his transfer?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you hear anything up to that point about how he was
going to be moved?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. No; huh-uh.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you learn anything about what route might be used?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. No; up until the captain talked to us; no.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you remember anything else the captain told you at that
time other than that they were going to bring him down and get him
ready to move?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. No; said we was going to transfer him is all.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What did you do while these two officers were bringing
Oswald down to Fritz’ office?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. I didn’t do anything outstanding. Must have been just
answer the telephone.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, were the telephone calls that you were getting the
same kind of calls that you had been getting?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Any useful information come out of these calls?
Mr. MONTGOMERY. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What did you do after Oswald was brought down and while he
was in Fritz’ office?
