November 26, 1963
Mr. J. E. Ourry
Chief of Police
Sirs
I am a Sergeant in the Dallas Police Reserve.
I reported in uniform to the City Hall on Sunday, November 24, at about
9:15 A. M. for duty. I was assigned by Lt. Ben McCoy to a station on
Commerce Strest across from the City Hall. This was to keep the crowds
back from the entrance of the City Jail when Lee Harvey Oswald was trans-
ferred to the County Jail.
About 11:25, I saw several officers running down Commerce Street to the
entrance of the building. One of the crowd (a rann) had a small radio, and
I heard the amouncer say that Lee Harvey Oswald had been shot. He did not
as who. Just a few minutes later an ambulance came out of the basement and
I saw a man on the cot inside.
1. I did not see the shooting or hear a shot due to being outside.
2. I do not know the suspect Jack Ruby.
3. I do not know Les Harvey Oswald.
4. I did not hear any noise in the basement.
Signed: Sgt Le. Mayo
