Location of Detective Ivan R. Stephens
at the time of the shooting of
Cawald, November 24, 1963.
Sir:
Tho following is a report submitted by Detective Ivan R. Stephons
regarding his activitics on November 24, 1963 at the time of the
incident at the basement.
At about 11:15 November 24, 1963, Lieutenant Swain ordered me
to the basement of the City Hall to aid in the transfer of the prisoner,
Lee Harvey Oswald to the County Jail. I went to the basement and
remained in the lobby in front of the jail office when the homicide
non brought Oswald down on the inside jail elevator and started to
the Last Jail Door that leado to the parking area. These door were
oven at the time. I was behind the precsmen that were takting picture.
through the Cachior's Doors of the jail, and I remained behind these
presamen and photographers in order to keep out any unauthorized persons
that night attempt to come in behind the prisoner through the lobby.
I heard the shot and heard someone cry that the prisoner had been shot.
I did not see the scene and was about forty fect from where the prison. r
was shot. I saw the detectives curry Oswald inside the jail office and
also saw some detectives attempting to carry a man inside of the jail office
that wao the one someone had said had ahot the prisoner. I attempted
to help these men get the prisoner inside `the office. As soon as the
prisoner was socured, I walked over where Oswald was lying on the floor,
and saw a bullet hole in his left side as he was 1. jing on the floor.
Ne appeared to be conscience at the time and city doctor was called und
was working on him when the anbulance came for him. I returned to the
third floor for further assignment.
Respectfully submitted,
R. NG Swain, Lieutenant
Burglary and Theft Buroau
