(Testimony of Capt. Frank M, Martin)Captain MARTIN. On the ramp. Captain MARTIN. The garage. The garage side. Evidently Ruby was standing right here [indicating]. Captain MARTIN. No, no; this is just supposition. He had to be right in here somewhere. Captain MARTIN. I didn't see him, but he had to be right there [indicating]. There is no question about that. Mr. HUBERT. You did see someone come from that position ? Captain MARTIN. It was a movement. I didn't see anybody, but there was a movement in there that I could detect, and then the shot was fired. Captain MARTIN. "Ruby before the shooting." Or, "immediately before." Captain MARTIN. Well, as soon as the shot was fired, of course, it dumbfounded me, and I tried to get through the people there on my right, to get over there to it, and there was a lot of confusion in there, and I had trouble getting through the press, and when I did get through they had already taken Ruby into the jail office and Oswald was also in the jail office. Ruby was down on the floor just inside the jail, and Oswald was lying on the north side of the jail office. Captain MARTIN. I Saw him come out. Now, whether it was--it was shortly after they come out--I saw him after the shot was fired. Captain MARTIN. Yes; I thought they were coming all around me and go up by me and go up to the armored car, that is what I had in mind. Captain MARTIN. No; I didn't know anything about it. Captain MARTIN. No, as far as I knew, they were going to put him in the armored truck. That is the reason I was standing there, because I figured they would come right back there and I could go up there with them, but they didn't ever make it. Captain MARTIN. No; I didn't personally observe it, except on TV later. At the time I didn't notice them. Mr. HUBERT. In other words, at the time that Oswald came out, you were looking where you were looking towards Oswald, and if I understand it, you are not in a position to tell us now what other people were doing except what you saw later on television, is that right? Captain MARTIN. That's right. Captain MARTIN. Well, it seems that all the officers were watching Oswald when they should have been watching the crowd. Captain MARTIN. Yes.
