Mr. Griffin.

Have you been interviewed by me prior to this deposition?

Mr. Montgomery.

That little deal--that earlier?

Mr. Griffin.

I talked to you of what? Approximately an hour, hour and a half ago in my office?

Mr. Montgomery.

About an hour ago.

Mr. Griffin.

And how long did we talk?

Mr. Montgomery.

About 15 or 20 minutes.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, have you been interviewed by any other members of the Commission's staff?

Mr. Montgomery.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

How about FBI agents or other Federal agents?

Mr. Montgomery.

I have been interviewed by the FBI; yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, I believe that when you and I were talking in my office you indicated to me that you worked on Friday and Saturday, and that in particular on Saturday you left work about 9:30 in the evening?

Mr. Montgomery.

That's right.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, I have gone over this with you in the interview, but so that we have continuity here, I want to start at this point. Prior to the time that you went home Saturday night, did you hear anything from a police officer, or bystander or newspaperman or what have you, with respect to the proposed movement or a proposed movement of Lee Harvey Oswald to the county jail?

Mr. Montgomery.

I don't recall hearing it; no.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you hear any discussion at all or any rumors, or anything about that?

Mr. Montgomery.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

All right. Now, what time did you return to work?

Mr. Montgomery.

Well, supposed to be there at 8. I was about 10 minutes late, I guess.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, before you arrived at the police department on Sunday morning.

Mr. Montgomery.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you hear anything about the proposed movement of Lee Harvey Oswald?

Mr. Montgomery.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

Didn't get any telephone calls with respect to it?

Mr. Montgomery.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

Hear anything over the radio or or TV?

Mr. Montgomery.

No. [Yes.]

Mr. Griffin.

Do you recall now how you got to work that Sunday morning?

Mr. Montgomery.

Drove my car.

Mr. Griffin.

And did you come in with anybody?

Mr. Montgomery.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you recall where you parked the car?

Mr. Montgomery.

Not offhand, I don't.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you recall entering the building?

Mr. Montgomery.

The city hall?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes; police department building.

Mr. Montgomery.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you recall what entrance you came through?

Mr. Montgomery.

Basement.

Mr. Griffin.

Well, there are a number of entrances to the basement.

Mr. Montgomery.

Uh-huh.
