Mr. Belin.

Then what did you do?

Mr. Brown.

Lieutenant Wells was in the office and we asked him if that was correct, and he said, "Yes, they are on their way to Parkland now."
So he said, "Hurry up and get your prisoner booked and get down there and help them."
So we immediately put this subject in jail.

Mr. Belin.

Yes.

Mr. Brown.

And went to the location of the Texas School Depository.

Mr. Belin.

Then what did you do?

Mr. Brown.

My partner went in the front of the building. I went to the back of the building, and I proceeded up the back stairs to the sixth floor where I met Captain Fritz and several other officers on the sixth floor.

Mr. Belin.

What did you do then?

Mr. Brown.

I talked to Captain Fritz and I asked him what he wanted me to do. He said for me and Detective B.L. Senkel to gather up--there was about five employees there on the sixth floor, with him, and take them to city hall and get affidavits from those people, where they were at the time of the shooting.

Mr. Belin.

Go ahead.

Mr. Brown.

Where they were at the time of the shooting, and what they were doing, what they heard or saw during this incident.

Mr. Belin.

Did you go do that then?

Mr. Brown.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

You left the sixth floor right then?

Mr. Brown.

Yes; Detective Senkel and I took these employees to the city hall, and in this group of employees I was talking to a Mr. Shelley, and got an affidavit from him, when the officers brought in Lee Harvey Oswald.
And there were several cameramen following these boys also in front of them, and they opened the door to where I was interviewing; Mr. Shelley looked up and he said, "Well, that is Oswald. He works for us. He is one of my boys."

Mr. Belin.

What did you do or say?

Mr. Brown.

We got up and got out of the room so they could put Oswald in there in the room we were using.
We just had two small interview rooms there, and I let them put him in there.
Then as we got outside, of course, the phones were ringing. I answered the phone. It was Captain Fritz. He was still at the scene on the sixth floor of the School Book Depository, and I told him that the officers had just brought in a suspect that had shot the police officer, and told him about Mr. Shelley telling me that this boy that was identified was Lee Harvey Oswald, was also an employee there.
He said, "I will be right up in a few minutes."

Mr. Belin.

Where was Captain Fritz at this time?

Mr. Brown.

He was still at the scene of the shooting, at the Texas School Book Depository. He called from there.

Mr. Belin.

Then what did you do?

Mr. Brown.

I told him it looked like we might have the boy that was responsible for that. He said, "Okay, I will be up in a few minutes."

Mr. Belin.

What did you mean by "that," for the assassination?

Mr. Brown.

For the President's assassination. That was my own personal opinion at that time.

Mr. Belin.

Then what did you do?

Mr. Brown.

Then after the confusion died down a little bit, I got Mr. Shelley back in another room, the other room that was not occupied at this time, and finished my affidavit with him in regard to what he did, saw, or heard at the time of the assassination.

Mr. Belin.

All right, did Shelley say anything more about Oswald at the time you talked to him?

Mr. Brown.

Yes; after he mentioned that he was an employee there, that he had been training him--see, I had taken the affidavit from him in regard to what he was doing personally--then after they bring Oswald in, he tells me that he was responsible for him and was his own personal supervisor. I immediately got an affidavit from him in conjunction with what his work consisted of,
