United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. McMILLON. Most all of my time in patrol was spent, or the majority
of it, was spent in the downtown area. I believe about 8 or 9 or maybe
10 months before I was promoted to a detective, I worked an area of the
downtown--one of the downtown districts. I believe in August of 1962,
the first of August 1962, I went to what we refer to kindly of a South
Dallas beat. Actually, it is on the edge of downtown.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Uh-huh.
Mr. McMILLON. And most of my time spent on patrol was downtown or in
the downtown area or near by.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Were you on duty Friday, November 22?
Mr. McMILLON. No, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Where were you at the time you learned that President
Kennedy had been shot?
Mr. McMILLON. Home, in bed, asleep.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Well, you weren’t sleeping. Did somebody wake you up to
tell you that the President had been shot? Did somebody wake you up?
Mr. McMILLON. Yes. Phone call.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Who called you?
Mr. McMILLON. A friend of mine did.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What did you do?
Mr. McMILLON. He came to my house.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Who was that?
Mr. McMILLON. Mickey Fuller.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you stay home all day Friday?
Mr. McMILLON. Except probably maybe to go out to eat. I was there most
of the day.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Are you married?
Mr. McMILLON. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you report--did you report for work on Friday?
Mr. McMILLON. No, no.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was that your regular day off?
Mr. McMILLON. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How about Saturday?
Mr. McMILLON. I reported at 7 a.m. Saturday.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you go down to the police department at any time on
Friday?
Mr. McMILLON. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall, did you visit the scene, did you visit the
School Book Depository or any particular places on the 22d, other than
your home, that you can recall?
Mr. McMILLON. No; I didn’t go down near that Depository----
Mr. GRIFFIN. All right.
Mr. McMILLON. Or down near the police station or anything.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Uh-huh. Did you see anything on the 22d that might be of
value to the Commission?
Mr. McMILLON. The only thing that I saw was what events that I saw on
television.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, on the 23d, when you arrived at work, where did you
go?
Mr. McMILLON. To the auto theft bureau.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you work in the auto theft bureau all day Saturday?
Mr. McMILLON. Yes; until 3 p.m.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What I mean to say is, did you go out of the building?
Mr. McMILLON. I don’t recall if I did or not. Maybe I might have gone
out for coffee. It seemed to me like I had lunch in the locker room
that day. I am not sure.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Is that on the third floor of the police department
building?
Mr. McMILLON. The locker room?
Mr. GRIFFIN. No, no; the auto theft bureau.
Mr. McMILLON. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you see anybody in the police department that day who
was--who you recognized as not being a police officer or a newsman or
somebody who was there visiting your department on official business?
