United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. McMILLON. Main running east and west, Commerce running east and
west, and, of course, here is Pearl going south.
Mr. GRIFFIN. All right. On here, will you mark a mark?
Mr. McMILLON. Right over here, right in here is where I parked my car,
this parking lot.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Okay. Where you just placed an “X”? I am going to mark
this, if I can, mark this “Dallas, Tex., Detective T. D. McMillon.”
That is [spelling] M-i-l-l-o-n, right?
Mr. McMILLON. Right.
Mr. GRIFFIN. 3-25-64, Exhibit 5015. At the time you arrived for work,
was there a police officer stationed at the corner of Main and Pearl?
Mr. McMILLON. I don’t recall whether there was or wasn’t.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, from that parking lot, Mr. McMillon, how did you get
into the police department? Did you walk down Main or Commerce?
Mr. McMILLON. Down Main.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And did you--how did you go, in the Main Street ramp?
Mr. McMILLON. No. I probably took the first floor elevator, elevator,
first floor. I usually do. That particular day, I recall I walked down
this ramp, but I don’t recall whether I took the steps and went up to
the first floor and went up the elevator. That is the way I usually go
in.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You go into the city hall, as opposed to the municipal
building, there is a set of steps going up into the police building?
Mr. McMILLON. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And then, when you arrived, were there any people
congregated around the Main Street ramp?
Mr. McMILLON. Not that I recall. I don’t know if there was or not. I
don’t recall there being any there.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Were there any other cars parked in the parking lot when
you arrived?
Mr. McMILLON. Yes; I am sure there was. I don’t know whose or which
ones.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Would you recognize Jack Ruby’s car?
Mr. McMILLON. I haven’t seen Jack’s car.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What did you do when you got up to the auto theft bureau?
Mr. McMILLON. I don’t know. Probably the first thing I did, probably
take my coat off and go get a cup of coffee, bring it back out of the
machine. That is my normal habit or routine.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Is there a machine up on the third floor?
Mr. McMILLON. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Is it just in the auto theft bureau or is it accessible?
Mr. McMILLON. No. There is a little lounge that is accessible to the
public.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And do the police officers normally take a coffee break in
there?
Mr. McMILLON. Not normally, but you may occasionally see some in there.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Where do the police officers normally go?
Mr. McMILLON. Martin’s or the Majestic. Of course, Martin’s wouldn’t be
open on Sunday, I don’t think. Wherever you can go. You might possibly
go to the locker room, if you wanted to. There is a coffee machine down
there.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Uh-huh. Do you remember what you did up until the time
that you were asked to go down into the basement?
