    "ocrText": "Cantain Fritz - Transfer of Oswald\nPage 2\nasked if I was ready to transfer the prinoner to the Dallas County Jail.\nJames Bookhout, F. B. I. and possibly other officers, who were assisting in\nthe investigation and questioning, were standing in or just outside my office\ndoor. I told bim I was ready to start any time the security was completed.\nChief Curry advised me that the large cameras had been moved away from the\njail office and that everything was prepared and that the people had been moved\nback across Commerce and that some newsmen would be in the basement, but would\nbe well back in the garage.\nSomeone had ordered an armored truck, and it was agreed that we let a\npolice car lead the armored truck as if the prisoner was in it, and when he\nturned to the left off Commerce where he was to go to Elm and turn left, Thile\nwe would actually have the prisoner in an unmarked police car and turn to the\nleft on Main Street followed by another group of officers in another police\ncar and take him to the County Jail.\nSecurity had been set up, we were told, at the County Jail, and I\ninstructed the officers in the car that did not have the prisoner to drive\njust past the back entrance to the County Jail, and we would drive in the\npassageway made for unloading prisoners where a steel door could be dropped\ndown behind us.\nChief Curry then told me that he and Chief Stevenson, who was with him,\nwould go on to the County Jail and meet us there.\nI instructed James R. Leavelle to handcuff his left hand to the prisoner's\nright hand. The prisoner was already handcuffed. I instructed L. C. Graves\nto walk to his left and L. D. Montgomery directly behind him, and I told them\nthat I would welk in front of the pri soner out of the door to the car. We\ndecided that the best route would be through the jail and out of the left door\n37"
