(Testimony of G. E. Worley)

Mr. Griffin.
into this area that is marked, where it says "To engineroom", and check anything over in that area ?
Mr. Worley.
I saw them. search over that way but from where I was, I couldn't tell whether they were back in here or not.
Mr. Griffin.
After the search was over, do you recall if any other officers were stationed down in the basement?
Mr. Worley.
Yes. There were some more reserve officers down in the basement stationed there.
Mr. Griffin.
Would you mark where the reserves were? Why don't you put a "R" and a circle around it where there was a reserve.
Mr. Worley.
This is Lt. Ben McCoy, reserve officer. I stationed him there myself.
Mr. Griffin.
Where did you station him? Why don't you write "McCoy" under his name then ?
Mr. Worley.
Yes Captain Arnett was over here [indicating].
Mr. Griffin.
Put an "A" in front of the circle. All right, now, any other that you recall?
Mr. Worley.
There was a reserve officer down here, and I don't know his--
Mr. Griffin.
Put an "R" there and question mark under it. Were there any regular officers stationed any place in the basement?
Mr. Worley.
There was a regular sergeant right here for quite awhile. I couldn't say approximately how long.
Mr. Griffin.
Was he there a half hour before Oswald was shot?
Mr. Worley.
Oh, yes; I would say it was about maybe an hour or before.
Mr. Griffin.
I don't mean for what length of time, but when did he leave that spot?
Mr. Worley.
About an hour. I would say an hour before Oswald was shot.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall any officers being stationed by the elevators?
Mr. Worley.
Yes; there was a regular officer there.
Mr. Griffin.
Why don't you put a circle there and write "regular" under it where that man was? Now, do you recall any other regular officer?
Mr. Worley.
No; I don't.
Mr. Griffin.
And the time that you left, that was sometime after the armored car arrived?
Mr. Worley.
Right. The armored car was backed into this ramp.
Mr. Griffin.
Commerce Street ramp. Do you recall whether or not any of these men had been moved ?
Mr. Worley.
No; I don't.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you have any recollection of seeing any of these particular men in the basement at the time Lieutenant McCoy reassigned you?
Mr. Worley.
Yes. Captain Arnett and Lieutenant McCoy and this officer were in the basement when I left.
Mr. Griffin.
How about this officer up here ?
Mr. Worley.
I couldn't say.
Mr. Griffin.
You went to the corner of Commerce and Central Expressway?
Mr. Worley.
The next block down. This is Central Expressway, and the next block is north, northbound.
Mr. Griffin.
How did you walk out ?
Mr. Worley.
Went up the south ramp by the armored car, sitting right here. And I went on this side of it, which would be---I am trying to place that. That would be east side of the armored car. Walked down the sidewalk two blocks
to the corner of Commerce and Central Expressway, northbound. Mr. GRIFFIN. Would you recognize Jack Ruby if you saw him?
Mr. Worley.
Now?
Mr. Griffin.
Would you recognize him then?
Mr. Worley.
Right now?
Mr. Griffin.
No; at the time you walked down that street, would you have recognized him if you had seen him?
Mr. Worley.
I don't believe I would. The only time that I had ever seen the man was when I was working with squad 105, and we made the place that
