(Testimony of Louis D. Miller Resumed)
Mr. Miller.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
I understand at the time that you remember this hallway being impassable was sometime before you arrived for work on Sunday?
Mr. Miller.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
That would have had to have been Saturday ?
Mr. Miller.
It probably was on Saturday, but I don't remember. I can't remember that it was definitely Saturday or any certain time on Saturday.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you think it would have been on Friday?
Mr. Miller.
No; it wasn't on Friday, because I didn't go near the police station on Friday.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, while you were in the homicide or in the juvenile bureau on Sunday, did any newspaper people or radio or TV people come into the juvenile bureau for any purpose?
Mr. Miller.
I don't remember any specific ones coming in, but they were in and out, so I am sure they did.
Mr. Griffin.
And what was their purpose in coming in and out?
Mr. Miller.
They usually come in to use the telephone.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, were you people able to conduct your activities in the juvenile bureau with these newspaper people coming in and out ?
Mr. Miller.
They didn't interfere with my business. As far as the other people assigned to the bureau, I don't know whether they interfered with them or not. I couldn't say.
Mr. Griffin.
What kind of business were you transacting in the morning, Sunday morning?
Mr. Miller.
Just routine work is all I recall. If you would give me something definite to go on.
Mr. Griffin.
Well, were you investigating any particular cases?
Mr. Miller.
At what time?
Mr. Griffin.
Prior to the time that you went down to the basement.
Mr. Miller.
Prior to that time, an officer had brought in two small children, as I recall. I don't now remember what they were brought in for, but I was working them, doing the paper work on them.
Mr. Griffin.
How soon was that after you got up to the juvenile bureau?
Mr. Miller.
That was later on in the morning, the best I remember, and I was working on the paperwork on them when I was told to report to the basement.
Mr. Griffin.
Prior to bringing in those two .children, did you talk with anybody in the juvenile bureau about the prospective move of Lee Harvey Oswald to the Dallas County Jail?
Mr. Miller.
I could have. I don't recall it, though. In fact, I didn't even know that--for sure that Oswald was still in our jail.
Mr. Griffin.
Well, now, you heard the newspaper reporters come in and out of the office, didn't you?
Mr. Miller.
I don't remember any specific incident of when they came in and out. Like I said, they probably did.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you hear them talk on the telephone?
Mr. Miller.
I didn't pay any attention to what they were saying.
Mr. Griffin.
Were you close enough to them to hear what they were saying?
Mr. Miller.
I didn't try to hear them.
Mr. Griffin.
Were you close enough to hear them if you had tried to hear them?
Mr. Miller.
I don't recall it if I was.
Mr. Griffin.
Whereabouts in the juvenile bureau did you work that day ?
Mr. Miller.
We have several desks up there, and it is possible that I worked at all of them some time during the day. I don't remember any particular desk or anything like that.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, is the juvenile bureau, is it one large room or does it have a series of rooms in it or what ?
Mr. Miller.
It has several room, I would say. It has a reception office affair in front, and the captain's office is off of that, and then a short hallway,
