    "ocrText": "December 2, 1963\nMr. J. E. Curry\nChief of Police\nSubject: Murder of Lee Harvey Oswald\nSir:\nThe following information is submitted relevant to my activities in\nthe basement of the Police and Courts Building immediately prior to,\nat the time of, and immediately following the murder of Lee Harvey\nOswald by Jack Ruby, Alias Jack Leon Rubenstein.\nAt\napproximately 10:45 a.m. on November 24, I went to the basement\nof the Police and Courts Building because of the number of newsmen\nwho were assembled at that location. The newsmen were there because\nof the impending transfer of Oswald from the City to the County Jail.\nWhen I went into the parking area and driveway, a large number of\nnewsmen were already there. I spoke briefly with Jack Beers, photographer\nfor the Dallas Morning News who was, at that time, standing on the rail\non the eastern side of the driveway. I stayed in the basement talking -\nwith newsmen and preventing them from going up the south ramp toward\nthe location where the armored car was parked.\nI talked briefly with Captain O. A. Jones, Captain C. E. Talbert and\nCaptain Arnett of the Police Reserves.\nWhen the vehicle, driven by Lieutenant R. S. Pierce, was driven from\nthe basement to Main Street, I was on the west side of the driveway\nnear where the ramp to Commerce Street starts up. I was at this loca-\ntion when the vehicle, driven by Detective C. N. Dhority, was backed\ntoward Main Street and 1 was watching this vehicle when I heard the\nshot. I yelled for the officers on the Commerce Street side to keep\npeople from coming in or leaving and then went over to where Ruby was\nbeing held. The persons I remember seeing with Ruby were Officer W. J.\nHarrison of the Juvenile Bureau and Detective D. R. Archer of the Auto\nTheft Bureau. I went with these officers inside the Jail Office th\nRuby and then up the elevator to the 5th Floor where I left them and\nreturned to the basement. When I returned to the basement, Oswald\nhad already been picked up by the ambulance. I then returned to my\noffice and talked with newsmen who continued to come into the Adminis-\ntrative Office inquiring about the incident which had occurred in the\nbasement.\nRespectfully submitted,\nStrawbling\nGlen D. King\nCaptain of Police\nGDK PA\n60"
