United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. McMILLON. Well, I don’t know how to answer that. There were a lot
of people there. Some of them were in and out. People at first started
out during that day coming to our office to get automobiles released
from the pound.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
Mr. McMILLON. People in and out like that, and I saw a number of people
that I didn’t know, and I didn’t see identification on them and didn’t
recognize them as probably being newsmen or with the press or some news
media.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was your office in the auto theft bureau used by the news
people for any purposes?
Mr. McMILLON. Yes. They used our phones quite often.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did this cause you problems?
Mr. McMILLON. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Can you give some idea of what kind of problems these news
people were causing you?
Mr. McMILLON. Well, our phones were pretty well tied up. There seemed
to be quite a commotion in and around and about the office. It made it
difficult to work.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Uh-huh. Did you people attempt to make any effort to get
these news people out?
Mr. McMILLON. We were cooperative with them. If they asked to use
a phone and if there was a phone available, we extended them every
courtesy along that line.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Uh-huh. Did you see Jack Ruby at any time on Friday or
Saturday?
Mr. McMILLON. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And, as I understand, you left work on Saturday about 3 in
the afternoon?
Mr. McMILLON. Right.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When you left work on Saturday, did you have any idea that
Lee Harvey Oswald would be moved from the county jail the next day--to
the county jail the next day?
Mr. McMILLON. No. I may or may not have heard any rumors, I don’t
remember, but I didn’t know when he would be moved. I had heard some
rumors, I believe, but I didn’t know when he would be moved.
Mr. GRIFFIN. After work that night, did you have any occasion to be
around the police department?
Mr. McMILLON. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What did you do Saturday night?
Mr. McMILLON. I don’t recall. The best I remember, it seemed to me like
I stayed home and watched television. I may have gone out, but I think
I stayed home.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What time did you report for work on Sunday morning?
Mr. McMILLON. 7 a.m.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you remember where you parked your car Sunday morning?
Mr. McMILLON. I am sure it is the same parking lot that I always park
on. I park on a pay lot at the corner of Main and Pearl.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When you parked, which corner did you park on?
Mr. McMILLON. It would be the southeast corner of Main and Pearl.
Mr. GRIFFIN. That is actually between Main and Commerce, isn’t it?
Mr. McMILLON. Huh-uh. Well, you might consider it that way. Can I use
some paper here to show you what I mean?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes. Take this.
Mr. McMILLON. Okay. This would be Pearl Expressway, the directions,
your north and south.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
Mr. McMILLON. Main Street running--okay. This was actually the way the
streets were running.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
