Mr. Beaty.

Yes, sir; I would call it the north side.

Mr. Griffin.

What you have called the north side opposite where you were standing, do you think those people began to move out sort of instinctively?

Mr. Beaty.

No; they moved out before he got out there.

Mr. Griffin.

I see.

Mr. Beaty.

And I am sure that there were some more officers that, I don't that were along here. They had two people stationed out here, a reserve and a--

Mr. Griffin.

Put an "X" where these reserves were.

Mr. Beaty.

To keep these people from coming through here.

Mr. Griffin.

This was between the swinging doors and the main elevators?

Mr. Beaty.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

All right, were there two reserve officers?

Mr. Beaty.

No; they had one reserve and one officer stationed here.

Mr. Griffin.

All right.

Mr. Beaty.

Yes, and before they brought Oswald out, there was some photographers in this area inside the jail office.

Mr. Griffin.

You have placed circles in the jail office where there were photographers ?

Mr. Beaty.

And they were removed by a uniformed officer and asked to come out here, or out here, or back here, and I recall some of them went this way and went on out and took their place.

Mr. Griffin.

Some of them went toward the garage area and some on the Main Street ramp?

Mr. Beaty.

Some came back through these double doors, and were standing along this hallway like they might be going to try to photograph through the window. I remember one guy had a big shoulder camera and one at--at one of these windows here.

Mr. Griffin.

So, is it fair to say that one of the functions you people served in standing along the wall that you were on, was to make sure that as these photographers cleared out the jail office, they didn't line up along the wall?

Mr. Beaty.

Yes; also, to double check this double door after he went by, and somebody might have gotten instructions, I don't remember whether they did or not.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, detective, after Oswald was shot, did you go into the jail office?

Mr. Beaty.

Yes , sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you go upstairs with Ruby?

Mr. Beaty.

No, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

What did you do after Ruby shot Oswald? After Ruby was upstairs? What did you do?

Mr. Beaty.

Captain Jones said, "Do you have a car out," and I told him, "Yes, sir." He said, "Get about five of these officers," and I don't remember which one, "and go to Parkland Hospital and help them with security." And within 5 minutes after he was shot, we were on our way to Parkland.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you remember if Sergeant Dean was out there?

Mr. Beaty.

I don't think he was. He might have been. I didn't remember seeing him.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you remember if he went in your group ?

Mr. Beaty.

No; I am pretty sure of both of the detectives in our group.

Mr. Griffin.

How long did you remain at Parkland Hospital ?

Mr. Beaty.

Let's see, probably after 2 o'clock, maybe 3 o'clock that afternoon.

Mr. Griffin.

While you were out at Parkland Hospital, did you hear any rumors about how Ruby got down to the basement ?

Mr. Beaty.

No, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

When you got back to the police department, did you hear any rumors back there as to how Ruby got into the basement?

Mr. Beaty.

No, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

How soon after you got back to the police station were you
