Mr. Curry.

Kennedy and Governor Connally onto stretchers and took them into the hospital.
Mrs. Kennedy, I went into the hospital, and I know she was outside the door of where they were working with the President, and someone suggested to her that she sit down and she was very calm, and she said, "I am all right. Some of your people need to sit down more than I do."
But everyone was very concerned. I remained around the hospital. I was contacted by some of the special sergeants who asked me to stand by in my car and get another car and take the President, then Vice President Johnson to Love Field.

Mr. Rankin.

You have told us about that, haven't you?

Mr. Curry.

Yes; I have told you about that.

Mr. Rankin.

And you told us you attended the swearing in of President Johnson?

Mr. Curry.

Yes; I did.

Mr. Rankin.

And that you waited until the plane left and then you came back?

Mr. Curry.

To my offices.

Mr. Rankin.

And Judge Hughes left at the same time?

Mr. Curry.

Yes.

Mr. Rankin.

Now, did you do anything about the assassination after this or at some time?

Mr. Curry.

No. I left this to be handled by Captain Fritz who is in charge of all homicide investigations.

Mr. Rankin.

Do you know whether anything was done, did you make inquiry?

Mr. Curry.

Yes; he told me they were interrogating him, Oswald about the assassination and trying to check on the movements of Oswald, and they obtained, I understand, some search warrants to go out and search, they found out where he had been staying.

Mr. Rankin.

What about the building immediately after the occasion?

Mr. Curry.

It was sealed off, Inspector Sawyer who is a uniformed police inspector, I think was the first ranking officer to the School Depository Building. He would have bad to come perhaps 10 blocks. I believe he told me that he was about at Akard and Maine when this came on the air that we had had some trouble down there.

Mr. Rankin.

You say you imagine. Is this something that they reported to you?

Mr. Curry.

Yes. He told me later that he did immediately go to the scene of the Texas--of where the shots were fired from.

Mr. Rankin.

What did he tell you he did then?

Mr. Curry.

He took charge of the investigation.

Mr. Rankin.

What did he do about the building?

Mr. Curry.

He had it sealed off. This perhaps would have been perhaps, 5, 8, 10 minutes after the original----

Mr. Rankin.

About what time?

Mr. Curry.

I would say perhaps 12:40.

Mr. Rankin.

And was that before or after a description of Lee Oswald was put on the radio?

Mr. Curry.

I couldn't say whether it was before or after.

Mr. Rankin.

What else happened?

Mr. Curry.

I think he perhaps was the one who gave that description, I am not sure.
A deputy chief of services who was in the pilot car ahead of us, was at Love Field, and he had some more Secret Service men with him, I believe.

Mr. Rankin.

Who is that?

Mr. Curry.

George Lumpkin. George L. Lumpkin. He asked me at the hospital if I didn't want him to go back to the Texas School Book Depository and assist in the search of the building and I told him yes, and he did go back, and took over on the search of the building then.

Mr. Rankin.

Did he report to you later what he did about that?

Mr. Curry.

Yes, he did. He told me that he had sealed it off and he appointed
