November 27, 1963
l'r. J. E. Curry
Chief of Police
Sir:
This ie a statement of facts rolating to my activity as a Reserve Officer
Sunday, November 24, 1963, to the best of my knowledge and recollection.
1. Approximate time I reported to duty. 11:25 A. M.
2. I reported to Assembly Room - Lt. Merrell.
3.
Assignment - Lt. Merrell told me every one was busy searching and
guarding the basement, that Oswald was about to be brought down. I
went from the Assembly Room to the area and just as I was about to
open the doors that lead into the parking area, it happened. I heard
the shot. I had caught a glimpse of then bringing Oswald from the
elevator. Then, I joined a group of Reserves in sealing off the area
leading into the jail office where they took Oswald and Ruby. I don't
beliove any regular officer was there with us, but we sensed that the
reporters and cameras should not be allowed to push their way into the
jail office.
4. Names of other officers in the same area that I can recollect are:
Lt. Merrell, A. B. Crait, and others I do not know their names.
5. Did you know Huby? No.
6. When and under what circumstance did you see Ruby?
Never could see him.
Signed: J R. Brachway
