Mr. Hubert.

Will you tell us without detail. generally speaking, of your activities on the rest of the 22d, and the 23d.

Mr. Stevenson.

After I was advised that he had definitely been identified and from evidence which was being checked, it looked like he possibly might be the same man who shot the President, I returned to my office in the administrative offices, and was in and out of the homicide bureau on numerous times, staying in touch with the investigation, and they were in touch with my office.
About 7 p.m., I believe it was 7, approximately 7, Oswald was filed on for the murder of Officer Tippit, and was arraigned in the Police and Courts Building by Justice of the Peace Dave Johnston, I believe it was.
Now at approximately, I would say, 7 or S o'clock, some word came to me from Chief Curry, which apparently was from Mr. Hoover or someone from Washington, that they wanted an agent of the FBI or Secret Service present at all interviews. That was the first that I had heard of anything from this, and that came to me through Chief Curry.
At about 12 midnight, I was advised by Lieutenant Wells, and I talked to Mr. Alexander, assistant district attorney and Mr. Jim Allen, former first assistant district attorney and a friend of the department, and was advised that sufficient evidence had been obtained and that charges were being filed in the death of President Kennedy.

Mr. Hubert.

Charges against Oswald ?

Mr. Stevenson.

Oswald; yes, sir. He was arraigned.

Mr. Hubert.

They did not tell you at that time, did they, what evidence it was, but simply that it was sufficient evidence?

Mr. Stevenson.

No, sir; not all of it, but they told me at that time that they had found a rifle that they were sure was the one. They had talked to witnesses. The officer had seen him in the Texas Book Depository a few minutes after the shooting. He was an employee down there. He had left the building after the shooting.

Mr. Hubert.

They told you all this at the time they told you that they had enough in their opinion to charge?
Mr. STEVENSON, Yes; charges were filed. And at about 1:30 a.m., on the 23d, he was arraigned in the identification bureau on the charge of murdering President Kennedy, before Judge Dave Johnston, and was returned to his cell under guard at that time after the arraignment. I was present at that arraignment. I was not present at the arraignment on the Tippit case.

After he was arraigned, I returned to my office and was in my office, the homicide office or bureau where I might have business for the balance of the night up until about 3 o'clock, at which time the homicide office was closed until the following morning. I remained on duty in the administrative offices with detectives whom we had working that night standing by for any assignments or any other information we might get, that we wanted to investigate during the night--and left the city hall, the Police and Courts Building at about 12:35 Saturday afternoon.

Mr. Hubert.

Now are you familiar with the lineup conducted in the regular assembly or lineup room of the Dallas Police Department of Oswald when some newspaper people were present?

Mr. Stevenson.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Could you tell us about that? First of all, what time was it?

Mr. Stevenson.

That was a few moments after charges were filed, I believe, by the district attorney.

Mr. Hubert.

Charges on Oswald?

Mr. Stevenson.

On Oswald in the President's death. The district attorney, Mr. Wade, and the assistant, Mr. Alexander, were present.

Mr. Hubert.

Were you present?

Mr. Stevenson.

I did not go into the room, I just went to the door down there. I was present when they did go down for the showup, but I did not go into the room.

Mr. Hubert.

You say you did not look into the room ?

Mr. Stevenson.

I did not go into the room. The door, of course, was open, but I was present when they left the third floor, the homicide office, to go down for this lineup.
