Mr. Dean.

Yes, sir; numerous television cables and cameras.

Mr. Griffin.

Try to think back as best you can and tell us, as you walked in from Commerce Street, you know, you come down the steps---

Mr. Dean.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

You have to open the door ?

Mr. Dean.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

And that will take you into the hallway ?

Mr. Dean.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

That leads to the records room. Now, as you got into that area there where you open up the door and so forth, did you see any TV cables strung through that doorway?

Mr. Dean.

Yes, sir; I believe there was a lot of TV cable down at the end of the hall there, toward the jail office.

Mr. Griffin.

Well now, talking now about right up at the

Mr. Dean.

No, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Did any TV cables come through that Commerce Street entrance?

Mr. Dean.

I don't recall.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, what did you do when you got inside ?

Mr. Dean.

I went immediately to the basement, changed clothes into my uniform and then went to the second floor, which is the patrol captains office, where I report for duty.

Mr. Griffin.

Who did you report to there?

Mr. Dean.

Captain Talbert.

Mr. Griffin.

And did you have a conversation with Talbert at that time?

Mr. Dean.

Nothing specific; no.

Mr. Griffin.

Did Talbert give you an assignment at that time?

Mr. Dean.

No, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Did Talbert talk to you in anyway about the movement of Oswald at that time?

Mr. Dean.

No, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, did you learn somewhere after you arrived at work that someone had made a telephone call in connection with the movement of Oswald, threatening Oswald's life?

Mr. Dean.

Yes; did I learn of a telephone call ?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes.

Mr. Dean.

I heard Captain Frazier, I believe it was, talking to Captain Talbert, and in my presence, and several others. I don't remember which ones, sergeants and a lieutenant or so, that I believe it was Sheriff Decker called during the night and asked that Oswald be moved during the night sometime.

Mr. Griffin.

When did this conversation take place; how soon after you came to work?

Mr. Dean.

It was some time---probably it would have been a little before 7 o'clock because we meet downstairs at 7 o'clock sharp.

Mr. Griffin.

I see.

Mr. Dean.

In the detail room.

Mr. Griffin.

So this would have been almost within a few minutes of the time that you had walked in?

Mr. Dean.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Well, were Talbert and Frazier--and who else was present during the conversation?

Mr. Dean.

I believe Lieutenant Pierce was there, myself and Sergeant Putnam might have been there. Several other sergeants. See, this is the change time and all of his supervisors, Captain Frazier's and Captain Talbert's, the ones that are working that day, they will generally be in the office at that time.

Mr. Griffin.

Off the record. (Discussion off the record.)

Mr. Griffin.

Could you tell me where we were? (The record was here read by the reporter. )

Mr. Griffin.

Do you remember any other things that were said? Try to think about what these people said when this topic was brought up.

Mr. Dean.

Captain Frazier said something to the effect that he had called Captain Fritz when Sheriff Decker called to request the movement of Oswald, and
