Mr. Miller.

Officer Harrison works out of our office, and he was on duty that day, but as far as remembering it, anyone other than Policewoman McLine in particular, I couldn't do it, because I don't know.

Mr. Griffin.

Well, what did you do--well, this person who came into your--who requested that you go down, did that person actually walk into the juvenile bureau office?

Mr. Miller.

I don't know, because I didn't see him and I didn't hear him.

Mr. Griffin.

Well, then, who told you? Who did you hear the request from to go down?

Mr. Miller.

Policewoman McLine, I believe it was, the best I remember, said something about all men have to go to the basement.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, at that point, did you walk down to the basement?

Mr. Miller.

I walked down the hall and caught the elevator to the basement.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you go down with anybody?

Mr. Miller.

The best I recall, the elevator was full. As far as remembering any one particular person that was on the elevator, I couldn't say.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you walk out of the juvenile bureau with anybody?

Mr. Miller.

I am sure I did, but I don't recall any particular person that I walked out with.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you recall how many people you walked out with?

Mr. Miller.

I sure don't.

Mr. Griffin.

When Officer McLine, Policewoman McLine, told you that you were supposed to go to the basement, what did she say?

Mr. Miller.

I don't recall her specific words.

Mr. Griffin.

Did she tell you why you were supposed to go down?

Mr. Miller.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you have any idea of why you were to go down?

Mr. Miller.

No; I can't say that I actually did.

Mr. Griffin.

As you walked down to the basement, did you look into the homicide bureau?

Mr. Miller.

I don't recall looking in there; no, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

When you got down to the basement, where did you go?

Mr. Miller.

The best I recall, I was standing outside of the windows there in the hallway.

Mr. Griffin.

Well, when you got off the elevator, what did you do?

Mr. Miller.

Walked over to this hallway where the windows and telephones there are in the basement outside of the jail office.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you meet anybody down there when you got off of the elevators before you got to that window, did you meet anybody down there?

Mr. Miller.

No particular person that I recall although there were several people there.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you receive any instructions from anybody before you went to this particular station that you mentioned?

Mr. Miller.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

How did you know to walk over there?

Mr. Miller.

I didn't.

Mr. Griffin.

Why did you happen to walk there?

Mr. Miller.

There was no particular reason.

Mr. Griffin.

About how long was this before Lee Harvey Oswald came down?

Mr. Miller.

I don't recall how long. It would be hard to estimate it. It could have been 10 minutes or it could have been longer.

Mr. Griffin.

I have got another witness out here, Mr. Ward, and I think maybe it might be well to take a break here a second. I want to talk to this man.
(Discussion off of the record. )

Mr. Griffin.

Mr. Miller and I have been talking here for a few minutes off of the record about some of the events prior to his going down into the basement. Now, as I understand it, Mr. Miller, shortly after you got into the office on Sunday morning, you went some place for some coffee?

Mr. Miller.

I went to the Deluxe Diner on Commerce Street and had breakfast.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, who did you go over there with?
