Mr. Curry.

As I recall it, he read to him the fact that he was being charged with the assassination of the President of the United States, John Kennedy on such and such day at such and such time.

Mr. Rankin.

Did he say anything about his right to plead?

Mr. Curry.

I don't recall, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

Did he say anything about counsel?

Mr. Curry.

I don't recall whether he did or not.

Mr. Rankin.

What else happened at that time that you recall?

Mr. Curry.

That is about all. After it was read to him, he was taken back to his cell.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you go back with him to the cell?

Mr. Curry.

No, sir; I didn't.

Mr. Rankin.

Who took him back to the cell?

Mr. Curry.

The jailer and assistant jailer or jail guard.

Mr. Rankin.

What came to your attention after that about Lee Harvey Oswald, that you can recall, what was the next thing that happened that you know of?

Mr. Curry.

The next thing that I know of, was the next morning.

Mr. Rankin.

What happened then?

Mr. Curry.

The interrogation of Lee Harvey continued on and off through the day. No; I had asked the captain during the afternoon if he was being given rest periods and if he was being fed properly so that he wouldn't have reason to complain that we were mistreating him in any way.

Mr. Rankin.

What captain did you ask that?

Mr. Curry.

Fritz.

Mr. Rankin.

What did he say?

Mr. Curry.

He said he was. He said he was not interrogating him on long drawn-out extended periods, he was letting him rest and he was being fed.

Mr. Dulles.

Did the interrogation continue into the night or did it stop, do you know?

Mr. Curry.

I don't know what--well, it did continue into that first night, I know. But I don't know what time they discontinued the interrogation.

Mr. Rankin.

They stopped?

Mr. Curry.

I was not in the offices all the time. I was there two or three times.

Mr. Rankin.

Captain Fritz tell you anything about the interrogation, how it was going, what was said?

Mr. Curry.

He told me about, oh, late in the afternoon or early in the evening that he felt that he had enough evidence to file on him for the murder of the officer, and he told me, he said, "I strongly suspect that he was the assassin of the President."

Mr. Rankin.

Do you know what time of day it was?

Mr. Curry.

It seemed to me like it was 6 or 7 o'clock on the day of the 22d.

Mr. Rankin.

Can you describe the situation in the police headquarters with regard to the media. Were they continuing to be there?

Mr. Curry.

They remained there. You could hardly get down the hall, and it was necessary, when we would take the prisoner back to the jail to bring him out of the office, and down this hallway and put him on a special elevator just for prisoners.

Mr. Rankin.

What office do you mean when you say that?

Mr. Curry.

From the homicide office.

Mr. Rankin.

Yes. You took him down what hallway?

Mr. Curry.

The third floor hallway. The offices run like this in the building. The homicide office is right along here, perhaps 25 feet. The elevator is right here, this is a special elevator that runs to the jail.

Mr. Rankin.

Will you mark that homicide office with an "H" on to indicate it?

Mr. Curry.

This extends up here a little more perhaps.

Mr. Rankin.

Will you mark the elevator with "EL"

The Chairman.

There is a lot of other writing on this paper a lot of doodling that someone else has done and I think the chief had better have a new piece of paper.
