(Testimony of William J. Harrison)

Mr. Harrison.
No, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you or any of the officers that you know in the police department attempt ever to obtain information out of Jack Ruby with respect to your duties?
Mr. Harrison.
Well, I didn't. I don't know if any of the other officers did or not.
Mr. Griffin.
There wasn't ever any occasion when you tried to get any assistance or information from him?
Mr. Harrison.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, when you arrived for work on Saturday--Sunday, rather-- you say you report at 8 o'clock ?
Mr. Harrison.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Is that the normal reporting time in your bureau ?
Mr. Harrison.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you remember where you parked your car ?
Mr. Harrison.
I parked it over by the garage on Young Street, and actually, well, it was on a parking lot there next to the garage.
Mr. Griffin.
Young and--
Mr. Harrison.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
And what intersection?
Mr. Harrison.
Young and Pearl Expressway.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you come into the building with any of your fellow officers?
Mr. Harrison.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you remember what entrance you came into the building through ?
Mr. Harrison.
I drove into the basement.
Mr. Griffin.
I am talking about the police department building.
Mr. Harrison.
I drove into the basement of the city hall there.
Mr. Griffin.
Oh, I thought you parked your car there.
Mr. Harrison.
I did. I parked my personal car on the parking lot across from the police garage on Young and Pearl. Mr. GRIFFIN. I see.
Mr. Harrison.
I picked up a city car at the garage, drove to the basement of the city hall, where I parked it.
Mr. Griffin.
I see. What car number was it ?
Mr. Harrison.
I don't recall. Don't have any idea.
Mr. Griffin.
Is there any sort of record that is maintained on what cars you drive ?
Mr. Harrison.
Well, we fill out a slip on each car we drive every day.
Mr. Griffin.
And did you fill out a slip on that car?
Mr. Harrison.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, where do you get the keys to one of those cars that is over there?
Mr. Harrison.
They are left in the car, they are in the cars.
Mr. Griffin.
And are they kept in a locked garage, is that it?
Mr. Harrison.
No; it is a two-story parking affair, enclosed in a fence up to, you know--
Mr. Griffin.
And there is a guard on the fence ?
Mr. Harrison.
No; there is no guard.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, was there any particular reason for taking that car that day?
Mr. Harrison.
Well, we always park our personal car and pick up our city car and drive over close to the city hall there.
Mr. Griffin.
I see. And it is part of your responsibility, you ordinarily pick up a car?
Mr. Harrison.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you have a particular car assigned to you?
Mr. Harrison.
No, no. We have a pool system.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you drive back with anybody to the police department?
Mr. Harrison.
No; I was alone that day.
