(Testimony of William J. Harrison)
Mr. Griffin.
And so I am inclined to believe that it is probably available someplace, and if you will get that and turn it over to us, I would appreciate that very much. We will make a copy of it and return the original to the department, but I would like a copy of that. Now, do you remember whether or not---do you remember any of the people who were in the homicide office when you filled out that report ?
Mr. Harrison.
Cutchshaw, myself.
Mr. Griffin.
Any of the homicide people who were there ?
Mr. Harrison.
I don't recall.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you remember if Fritz was there?
Mr. Harrison.
He was in and out of there during the time that we were in there, but I don't recall how long he stayed or anything like that.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you remember if Montgomery was there?
Mr. Harrison.
Yes, Montgomery was in there.
Mr. Griffin.
How do you happen to know about Montgomery being there?
Mr. Harrison.
Well, I know Montgomery very well. In fact, I used to be close neighbors to him.
Mr. Griffin.
I see.
Mr. HARRISON. And I do remember him being in there. I remember that very clearly.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, did you talk with Montgomery at all about what had happened down in the basement ?
Mr. Harrison.
No, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
While you were in the juvenile bureau, before you left to go to Love Field, did you hear any rumors as to how Ruby got in the basement?
Mr. Harrison.
No. They were talking about---Lowery said that he thought that he may have come by with a camera that was moved across just prior to the time that Pierce's car went out, and they were talking about the number of men who were on that camera, the particular camera. And--but that is the only discussion I heard as to how he may have got in there. For some time there, we thought that may have been the way he got in, I mean the men in my particular bureau.
Mr. Griffin.
When did Lowery first tell you that?
Mr. Harrison.
Well, he had started talking about this when we were in the basement.
Mr. Griffin.
And while you were in the basement, did you hear any other rumors as to how he got in ?
Mr. Harrison.
No, sir; sure didn't.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, as long as you were at the juvenile bureau, did you hear any rumor about his coming down the Main Street ramp ?
Mr. Harrison.
No, no; I didn't.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you talk with Officer McMillon on the day before you went to the juvenile bureau and after Ruby was shot--I mean Oswald was shot?
Mr. Harrison.
No; I didn't.
Mr. Griffin.
How about Officer Archer?
Mr. Harrison.
Well, now, they went up on the elevator with me, I found out later, but I didn't see them.
Mr. Griffin.
Or Clardy?
Mr. Harrison.
I don't remember whether Clardy was on there or not.
Mr. Griffin.
Or Dean
Mr. Harrison.
I don't recall if Dean was on there.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, did you talk with Dean at any time on the 24th after Ruby was shot--Oswald was shot?
Mr. Harrison.
No, I didn't talk with Dean at all.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you talk to any people in the patrol division--
Mr. Harrison.
No, sir.
Mr. Griffin.
Afterward?
Mr. Harrison.
No, sir.
(Discussion off the record. )
