Mr. Griffin.

Directing your attention to Friday, did you see Jack Ruby in the hallway at all on Friday, or any place in the police department?

Mr. Beaty.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

Now on Saturday, did you see Jack Ruby any time on Saturday ?

Mr. Beaty.

No, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

What time would you estimate that you left the police department on Saturday ?

Mr. Beaty.

Worked a lot of overtime. I am trying to remember. It was probably 6:30 or 7 o'clock that night; Saturday night.

Mr. Griffin.

Now do you recall whether when you left the police department that night you had heard any rumors or had received any kind of information that would indicate that Oswald was going to be moved from the city jail to the

county jail on Saturday?

Mr. Beaty.

No, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Was Sunday a regular day for you to report to duty?

Mr. Beaty.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

What time did you report for duty?

Mr. Beaty.

Eight o'clock that morning.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you remember where you parked your car that morning?

Mr. Beaty.

In the basement, I believe. No; that is not right. It is Sunday you are talking about now?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes.

Mr. Beaty.

I couldn't tell you to save my life.

Mr. Griffin.

At anytime on Sunday did you ever have occasion to come in the Commerce Street, come down the steps from Commerce Street and walk down the hallway in the basement that leads to the records room?

Mr. Beaty.

The pedestrian entrance to the city hall basement?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes.

Mr. Beaty.

I don't remember that either. If I park-my car on Commerce Street around there somewhere, I probably did. If I parked it on Main, I probably took that other entrance, but I don't remember.

Mr. Griffin.

If you don't remember, that is all right.

Mr. Beaty.

I couldn't tell you.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, when you arrived for duty, did you report up to the narcotics bureau?

Mr. Beaty.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Is that on the third floor ?

Mr. Beaty.

No; on the second floor.

Mr. Griffin.

How long did you remain in the narcotics bureau ?

Mr. Beaty.

Until about 9:15 or something like that.

Mr. Griffin.

Then what did you de at 9:15?

Mr. Beaty.

Everyone decided we wanted to get some coffee, and as we got off the elevator in the basement, I noticed all the newspaper people standing out there and a couple of reserve officers and a policeman, I think, whose name was Nelson. I didn't know him at the time. He was guarding the entrance. And just curiosity made me, instead of going to get coffee, stay around to see what was going on.

Mr. Griffin.

Were the people that you were going to go to coffee with in the narcotics bureau?

Mr. Beaty.

No; vice and narcotics, and some administrative section.

Mr. Griffin.

Any people from the third floor?

Mr. Beaty.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you know where they went after coffee?

Mr. Beaty.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

Did they go out of the building?

Mr. Beaty.

Yes; out of the building.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, tell me what happened when you saw this fellow Nielson.

Mr. Beaty.

Right away, nothing. I mean I just happened to glance over here and here's two officers, and nothing happened. I just kind of lingered behind and I didn't care for coffee anyway, and I told them I would wait for them, and I kind of figured they would maybe move Oswald, and I just wanted to see him and that is what it amounted to.
