November 26, 1963
Mr. J. E. Curry
Chief of Police
Sir:
I arrived at the City Hall at 8:30 A. M. and went to the 3rd floor
as directed. I was then told to report to the Assembly Room for
assignment. Upon arriving at the Assembly Room, I was assigned by
Reserve Sgt. Croy to stand by the Basement Information Desk and
direct all reserve officers to report to the Assembly Room for
assignment. At approximately 9:15 A. M. Reserve Capt. Arnett
moved me to theparking area in the basement. I was to keep any
cars from parking in the first two parking places on the North
side of parking area. I stood at this post till about ten or
fifteen minutes before Lee Harvey Oswald was shot. I was moved
from the post by It's McCoy and assigned to the corner of Commerce
and Central Expressway (Northbound) to help the regular patrolman
(Burton) direct traffic and was at this location when the prisoner,
Lee Harvey Oswald, was shot. The regular officer (Burton) was sent
to Parkland Hospital and I returned to the basement of City Hall.
Reserve Lt. McCoy assigned me to the basement entrance (North) to
keep the people from blocking the drive to the basement. I stayed
at this assignment till 12:00 Noon, at which time I was relieved
and went home.
I had met Jack Rubenstein when working with Squad 105, five or six months
ago. I did not see him in any part of the City Hall on November 24, 1963.
I probably would not have recognized him if I had seen him, since I had
only seen him one time.
Signed Lit
