November 26, 1963
Mr. J. E. Curry
Chief of Police
Subjeot: Assignment Of Sergeant
Billy J. Maxey On
Sunday, November 24, 1963
Sir:
At approximately 11:00 A.M., Sunday, November 24, 1963, I
arrived at Central Station. I was working "16", Aoting
Lieutenant), Northeast Substation. The Patrol Officers
were leaving for their traffic assignments, and there was
a large group of reporters standing in the hall leading to
the Jail Office.
I did not have an assignment at the time of my arrival and
when Lieutenant Picrce came down and got into his oar I
asked him if I could help. Lieutenant Pieroe advised me to
ride with him and Sergeant Putnam to escort the Armored Car
which had been backed partially onto the south rampo
Lieutenant Pierce drove the car, I was sitting in the back seat,
on the left side and Sergeant Putnam, after moving the crowd
of reporters out of our path, got into the front seat on the
right side. We traveled up the north ramp and made a left turn
onto Main Street. Officer R. E. Vaughn was standing on our
right side at the top of the ramp as we weht out onto Main Street.
I did not see Jack Ruby or anyone else go down the ramp as we drove
out. I know Jack Ruby by sight and I also did not see him in the
basement while I was at that location.
We proceeded to the top of the south ramp via Main Street to Harwood
Street to Commerce Street and took a position in front of the
Armored Car.
Apparently the shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald had just happened because
I did not hear the shot and officers were rushing to cover the exits
of the Police and Courts Building and the City Hall as we pulled into
position.
After the shooting, Lieutenant Pierce, Sergeant Putnam, and I went to
Parkland Hospital and set up security in the building and the Emergency
Entrance Parking Lot.
Respectfully submitted,
Kills j grizing
