Mr. Dean.

I am a sergeant.

Mr. Griffin.

How long have you been a sergeant?

Mr. Dean.

6 years.

Mr. Griffin.

What section were you assigned to in the police department?

Mr. Dean.

Patrol division.

Mr. Griffin.

That was on November 22, 23, and 24?

Mr. Dean.

That's correct.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, it's my understanding that you were not on duty on either November 22 or 23?

Mr. Dean.

That's correct.

Mr. Griffin.

Are these your regular off duty days ?

Mr. Dean.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

What time did you come to work on Sunday, November 24?

Mr. Dean.

At 7 o'clock.

Mr. Griffin.

Prior to the time that you came to work, had you heard anything about the proposed move of Lee Harvey Oswald ?

Mr. Dean.

No, sir; well, before I came to work, no, sir; I hadn't.

Mr. Griffin.

Before you came to work did you know that Oswald was going to be moved that day ?

Mr. Dean.

Just rumored that some time during the day that he would be moved.

Mr. Griffin.

How had you heard that ?

Mr. Dean.

Well, rumors in around city hall.

Mr. Griffin.

Had you been around the city hall on the 23d ?

Mr. Dean.

No, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Or the 22d ?

Mr. Dean.

No, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Where then did you hear these rumors ?

Mr. Dean.

I had just come into town just about the time the President landed on Friday. I had been out to south Texas deer hunting, and that day, I, of course, listened to all the news about the assassination, and also the next day, on the 23d, and then on the 24th at 7 o'clock is when I reported for duty.

Mr. Griffin.

Well, you indicated to me, though, that you had heard rumors around the police station?

Mr. Dean.

This was on the 24th. They had said that sometime during the day that Oswald would be moved. Now, who they are would be in the captain's office, around in the captain's office and in my office.

Mr. Griffin.

Referring to that period before you came on duty, had you

heard any rumors then?

Mr. Dean.

No, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

So when you arrived you didn't have any idea that Oswald was going to be moved that day ?

Mr. Dean.

Repeat it?

Mr. Griffin.

When you arrived at 7 o'clock Sunday morning

Mr. Dean.

Right.

Mr. Griffin.

You didn't have any idea Oswald was going to be moved that day?

Mr. Dean.

No, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Let me ask you this: Did you drive down to work that day ?

Mr. Dean.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you recall where you parked your car?

Mr. Dean.

That being Sunday, I believe I parked in the 2100 block of Jackson Street.

Mr. Griffin.

And do you recall how you entered the police department building ?

Mr. Dean.

On the Commerce Street side going to the basement. Not into the parking area where the incident occurred, but going into the police and courts building from Commerce Street.

Mr. Griffin.

When you entered at 7 o'clock---I know it's difficult to pick out what you saw at one time and what you saw at another time. Did you see any TV cables---

Mr. Dean.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Strung through that entrance ?
