Mr. Mcmillon.

out of my part of the barrier when they had gotten past. L.D. Montgomery, detective in Homicide, was following Oswald and the two detectives.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, do you remember why it was that you waited until Oswald got ahead of you until you moved out?

Mr. Mcmillon.

I imagine that it was because there was still some people who I recognized as part of his escort from the homicide bureau. Montgomery, say for instance, he was guarding the rear of Oswald.

Mr. Griffin.

Well, was it your understanding that you were supposed to be alongside of Oswald or were you supposed to wait until Oswald got past you? Did you have any understanding?

Mr. Mcmillon.

My understanding was that, as they came on out and got by us, we would form the two lines and keep the two lines intact until he was placed in the car.

Mr. Griffin.

Was it your understanding----

Mr. Mcmillon.

Of course, I had to look to see if all of the procession was through coming out.

Mr. Griffin.

Was it your understanding that this line that was forming on the side of Oswald, was it your understanding that there was supposed to be somebody up ahead of Oswald as well as behind him?

Mr. Mcmillon.

I didn't know who from homicide would be with him.

Mr. Griffin.

You people, who were on the side, you flankers, so to speak, were there any of you flankers supposed to be in front?

Mr. Mcmillon.

Not that I know of.

Mr. Griffin.

Were there any specific instructions that you were supposed to be in front or behind?

Mr. Mcmillon.

Not that I know of.

Mr. Griffin.

Was there anybody that was supposed to be the leader in this, that was supposed to turn and you were supposed to follow him?

Mr. Mcmillon.

Not that I know of.

Mr. Griffin.

I think maybe we can go most easily from here if I break in a second. I am going to hand you a series of documents and----

Mr. Mcmillon.

All right.

Mr. Griffin.

And I am going to ask you to just go out into the hall and read them.
(Recess.)

Mr. Griffin.

I am going to mark for the purposes of identification as Exhibit 5017 a document, which is a copy of a report of an interview held by FBI Agents Allen H. Smith and Tom E. Chapoton [spelling] C-h-a-p-o-t-o-n, with you, Officer
McMillon, on December 4, 1963. Have you had a chance to read this?

Mr. Mcmillon.

Yes, I read it out in the hall a while ago.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, is there are there any corrections or additions that you would like to make in that interview?

Mr. Mcmillon.

No.

Mr. Griffin.

All right. Would you then sign on the page there that I have marked the exhibit and date it, sign any place that it is convenient?

Mr. Mcmillon.

Today is the 25th?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes, sir. Okay. Now, I am going to mark for the purposes of identification a letter dated November 27, 1963, from you to Chief Curry--this is a copy of a typewritten letter--and mark that, "Exhibit 5018, Dallas, Texas, Detective McMillon, 3- 25-64." Have you had a chance to read that?

Mr. Mcmillon.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

And is that a true and accurate copy of a letter which you sent to Chief Curry on that date?

Mr. Mcmillon.

I have corrected this letter. It was written on the 24th. It was typed, apparently, on the 27th. I don't recall that date. I am sure that is right, but it was written on the 24th, and at a departmental interview, I gave a statement correcting two or three points in this deal. Here where it says I recognized Detective Leavelle on the prisoner's left----

Mr. Griffin.

Yes.

Mr. Mcmillon.

I believe that is incorrect. He was on the prisoner's right, his left hand, in other words.
