Mr. Curry.

but there were some people up in the railroad yard. I also could see an officer up there. I don't know who the officer was.

Mr. Mccloy.

You could recognize an officer on the top of the underpass?

Mr. Curry.

Yes; their instructions had been to place officers on every overpass and in every underpass.

Mr. Mccloy.

How close were you then to the underpass when you first heard that shot?

Mr. Curry.

Oh, perhaps 150 feet or 100 feet or so.

Mr. Mccloy.

So you are convinced that the shot could not come from the overpass?

Mr. Curry.

I don't believe it did; no, sir.

Mr. Mccloy.

Then----

Mr. Curry.

Because there didn't seem to be any commotion going on over there. This seemed to be people that I could see, they didn't seem to run or anything. They just seemed to be there.

Mr. Mccloy.

You spoke of the railroad yard. Just where is that railroad yard in relation to the underpass? We will see that.

Mr. Curry.

It is over----

Mr. Mccloy.

It is on the other side.

Mr. Curry.

Yes, sir. You see these tracks.

Mr. Rankin.

Mark that as Exhibit 703 and you can refer to.

Mr. Curry.

Yes; here is the School Book Depository. The railroad goes over.

Mr. Dulles.

This aerial view of the Elm Street there, isn't it of the underpass, will be admitted as 704.
(Commission Exhibit No. 704 was marked for identification, and received in evidence.)

Mr. Mccloy.

Do you call that the railroad yards?

Mr. Curry.

Yes; that is true.

Mr. Mccloy.

Above the underpass?

Mr. Curry.

Yes.

Mr. Mccloy.

Did you see a number of people in the railroad yard?

Mr. Curry.

I would estimate maybe a half dozen.

Mr. Dulles.

They were spectators or were they workmen. They were spectators?

Mr. Curry.

Yes, sir; as well as I was able to tell. They might have been workmen, too, but I presume it was people who were in the area and as the motorcade approached they got into position where they perhaps could have seen it.

Mr. Mccloy.

Did you recognize any officer amongst them?

Mr. Curry.

I seemed to recall seeing a uniformed police officer up there.

Mr. Mccloy.

In the railroad yard, and there was no commotion amongst the railroad yard people?

Mr. Curry.

I don't believe so.

Representative Ford.

Do you know who the officer was?

Mr. Curry.

No, sir; but I believe by looking at the assignments we could determine what officer was up there.
There is an assignment of personnel which has been submitted for the record.
(Discussion off the record.)

Mrs. Rankin.

On the record, we will supply for the purposes of this record the name of the officer and check it with Chief Curry, who was on the underpass or really the over part of the pass.

Mr. Curry.

Really over.

Mr. Rankin.

At the time of the motorcade.

Representative Ford.

Who determined there should be one, not more officers at an overpass?

Mr. Curry.

Deputy Chief Lunday and Assistant Chief Batchelor went over this route with Sorrels, and I believe Lawson was with them. And they were the ones who determined how many men would be placed at each location.

Mr. Rankin.

The inquiry I think particularly is did the Secret Service decide it would be one or did you decide it would be one?

Mr. Curry.

No; it would be the Secret Service because we just let them tell us how many men they wan. ted. The only deviation we made from that was in
