would say. I wasn't in the afternoon, because I was at that funeral, but I don't believe Jack Ruby got up there after that time of night. I didn't see Jack Ruby the entire time of that thing, until he was in front of me in the basement, the 24th.
Mr. Griffin.
Would you have recognized him?
Mr. Arnett.
No, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, did you remain at the elevator doors all of the time you were on duty on Friday?
Mr. Arnett.
Friday night?
Mr. Griffin.
Yes.
Mr. Arnett.
I would say I was there until around 11 o'clock that night.
Mr. Griffin.
After 11 o'clock what did you do ?
Mr. Arnett.
I went home.
Mr. Griffin.
Did anybody replace you on those doors?
Mr. Arnett.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall who that was?
Mr. Arnett.
No, sir; I don't.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you give him any instructions as to what he was to do in admitting people?
Mr. Arnett.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, did you come in on Saturday?
Mr. Arnett.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
What time did you come in on Saturday?
Mr. Arnett.
Around 2 o'clock.
Mr. Griffin.
And how late did you stay?
Mr. Arnett.
Until about 11.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you do the same sort of thing on Saturday?
Mr. Arnett.
That afternoon I didn't work in front of the elevators, but I did work where the stairways are. There is a stairway that you can walk down.
Mr. Griffin.
Yes.
Mr. Arnett.
I worked there with an officer. I believe his initials is L. M. Baker.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, there came a time Saturday night when you were stationed by Captain Fritz' office?
Mr. Arnett.
That's right.
Mr. Griffin.
About what time was that?
Mr. Arnett.
I would say around 7 or 8 o'clock that night.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, did you notice while you were there whether any newspaper people were going in to use the telephone in the homicide office?
Mr. Arnett.
No, sir; I didn't.
Mr. Griffin.
You say you were stationed outside Captain Fritz' door. Do you mean that you were inside the homicide office?
Mr. Arnett.
No; I was outside.
Mr. Griffin.
In other words, you were stationed outside of the homicide door?
Mr. Arnett.
In the hallway.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, that wasn't really the door to Captain Fritz' office?
Mr. Arnett.
No; his office is back inside, but you had to go through that door to get to his office.
Mr. Griffin.
I wonder if it wouldn't be clearer if we even edited this other, instead of Captain Fritz, if we crossed that out and said to the door to the homicide office ?
Mr. Arnett.
All right. Go ahead and write it in if you want to.
Mr. Griffin.
All right. Let me mark it [indicating].
Mr. Arnett.
That would sound more reasonable, sensible, anyway.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, would you initial those two places and date them where I marked them [indicating] ?
Mr. Arnett.
Yes, sir. We got the date, is that all right?
Mr. Griffin.
That's okay. All right. Now, did you see newspapermen going in to use the telephone in other offices besides the homicide bureau?
Mr. Arnett.
Well, really I just tell you the truth, there were so many people
