Mr. Griffen.

Let me ask you this, Captain Arnett, did you receive instructions came out as to where these newspaper people were to stand?

Mr. ARNETT. Where the newspaper--no; I did not.

Mr. Griffin.

Were you present when some men convened around Officer Jones, Captain Jones, prior to Oswald's coming down, when Jones gave some instructions ?

Mr. Arnett.

Sergeant Jones ?

Mr. Griffin.

No. Captain Jones.

Mr. Arnett.

Captain Jones. I remember seeing Captain Jones there, but I don't remember any group being around him.

Mr. Griffin.

Well, did you have any instructions to the effect that you were not to permit newspaper people to be over here on the Main Street side?

Mr. Arnett.

No, sir. I did not.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you have any instructions that you were to try to keep these newspaper people over toward the entrance of the garage?

Mr. Arnett.

No, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Well, what instructions did you have as to what you were to do there?

Mr. Arnett.

Well, the main instructions I had was to---when we was placing these men around, searching the building, see that there was nobody in there at all, other than was supposed to be.

Mr. Griffin.

But that was an hour before?

Mr. Arnett.

That's right.

Mr. Griffin.

All right. Now, you knew Oswald was going to come out that door from the jail, jail office?

Mr. Arnett.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

And did you have some idea that you were supposed to keep the area free?

Mr. Arnett.

Well, wasn't supposed to let anybody in there.

Mr. Griffin.

Well, if newspaper people had crowded up in front of him, did you have any instructions as to what you were to do ?

Mr. Arnett.

I didn't.

Mr. Griffin.

Well, do you know if any of the other people had instructions like that?

Mr. Arnett.

No, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

When did you write the report that has been marked as Exhibit 5033?

Mr. Arnett.

When did I write it?

Mr. Griffin.
