Warren Commission (13 of 26): Hearings Vol. XIII (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. McMILLON. I tried to work on some of my cases, the best I could.
I don’t remember whether I was trying to contact some complainants
by phone or whether I had checked some prisoners out of the jail,
was working out on prisoners, exactly what I was doing. I know I was
working in the office when Lieutenant Smart came through and said,
“Don’t anybody leave.”
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you remember any of the cases that you worked on that
day?
Mr. McMILLON. Huh-uh.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Were you busy answering telephone calls from people?
Mr. McMILLON. Yes; I answered some phone calls from people. Yes, sir; I
sure did.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you get any phone calls in connection with the murder
of the President?
Mr. McMILLON. Not that I recall.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You didn’t get any of these crank calls?
Mr. McMILLON. No; I didn’t take any crank calls. I sure didn’t.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When you got up there, what other officers were on duty in
the auto theft bureau?
Mr. McMILLON. Well, now, let’s see. I recall I was on duty, Lieutenant
Smart, Detective Clardy. That is my partner. Detective Rivers was
working at the desk, what we call the desk. I was working in the auto
theft. He is the one that was making out the assignments.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Was it Clardy?
Mr. McMILLON. No; it wasn’t Clardy.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Who was it?
Mr. McMILLON. Ed Rivers. Archer and Greeson were on duty.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How do you spell that?
Mr. McMILLON. I believe that boy spells it [spelling] G-r-e-e-s-o-n,
and then I don’t recall if they were there, but they were on duty this
day. Detective Watson, Detective Dawson, and I don’t remember who the
others were.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, when you arrived for duty, did you know that Jack
Ruby was--did you know that Lee Oswald might be moved that day?
Mr. McMILLON. No. I personally felt that he might, but I didn’t know
that he would.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, when you arrived for duty, at any time after you
arrived and before Oswald was shot, did you hear that someone had
called during the night and threatened to get Oswald?
Mr. McMILLON. No; not that I recall.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you people in the auto theft bureau, did you talk
about the expected movement of Oswald that day?
Mr. McMILLON. Yes; the best I remember, we probably did, theories and
opinions, probably. I don’t recall how the conversation went.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall whether at any time prior to the time that
Lieutenant Smart asked you to go downstairs there was any discussion as
to when Ruby--Oswald would be moved?
Mr. McMILLON. I don’t recall any discussions. After he told us that, I
still continued busy at something, and I remember that I was the last
one out of the office when we all started to leave to go down there.
Mr. GRIFFIN. When you arrived down in the office, when you walked out
of your office, did you see any police officers in the hall that you
recognized?
Mr. McMILLON. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Who did you see out there?
