(Testimony of Louis D. Miller Resumed)
Mr. Miller.
and the lieutenant's office, there is a holdover room for children, and then the main office, and then off of the main office we have two interrogation rooms.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, do you have a desk in any one of those offices assigned to you ?
Mr. Miller.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Were the newspaper reporters, did they come into the main office on Sunday?
Mr. Miller.
I. don't recall any specific incident where they came in, but I feel sure that they did.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, did-you work at any time out in the front office-or the reception area?
Mr. Miller.
I don't recall whether I did or not.
Mr. Griffin.
Did there come a time when you were requested to go down into the basement?
Mr. Miller.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, what is your best estimate of when that was?
Mr. Miller.
I wouldn't have any idea.
Mr. Griffin.
Before you got this request, had you been down in the basement that day ?
Mr. Miller.
It is possible that I had, but I don't recall.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, you were asked to prepare a report of your activities on the 24th, isn't that right, the police department?
Mr. Miller.
I was asked to write a letter and put in the information of what position I was in down in the basement at the time Oswald was shot and things of that nature, not everything that I did that day.
Mr. Griffin.
When were you requested to make this report ?
Mr. Miller.
I don't remember what day it was. I don't believe it was on that Sunday.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you remember what you were told to do when you were to make out the report?
Mr. Miller.
No; I don't.
Mr. Griffin.
Who instructed you to make out the report?
Mr. Miller.
I don't recall who that was.
Mr. Griffin.
Well, was it just a general announcement that was made by on of the chiefs or did somebody in particular approach you ?
Mr. Miller.
It was probably someone in particular, but I don't recall who it was
Mr. Griffin.
Did you discuss this report with anybody before you made it?
Mr. Miller.
It is possible that I did, but I don't recall it if I did.
Mr. Griffin.
Who was it on the 24th that asked you to go down into the basement?
Mr. Miller.
The best I recall, it was kind of a general announcement. Who came up and requested or ordered, or however you wanted to put it, all of the men to go to the basement, I don't -know who that was. As I say, I was working the papers, typing. I had my
Mr. Griffin.
Where were you working at that time ?
Mr. Miller.
I was working in the main office.
Mr. Griffin.
And who was in the main office with you at that time?
Mr. Miller.
Well, since we had been instructed early in the morning to remain in the office until further notice, I would have to assume that all of the people assigned up there for that day were present.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you remember anybody who was there ?
Mr. Miller.
The only one that I can recall specifically is Policewoman McLine, because after this announcement, request, order, whatever it was, was made for us to go to the basement, I asked her if she would finish the paperwork on the two small children for me.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you remember if Officer Lowery was still there?
Mr. Miller.
No; I couldn't say.
Mr. Griffin.
Or Officer McMillon?
Mr. Miller.
Officer McMillon doesn't work out of our office, so I am sure he wasn't there.
Mr. Griffin.
Officer Harrison?
