Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, you had already started out----

Mr. HARRISON. Yes.

Mr. GRIFFIN. And turned around and came back? Okay; now, how much time

elapsed between the time that you finished--well, strike that. Did you

finish writing the report in the homicide office?

Mr. HARRISON. Yes.

Mr. GRIFFIN. How much time elapsed between when you finished that

report in the homicide office and you got in your car to go out to Love

Field?

Mr. HARRISON. I don't have any idea, sir.

Mr. GRIFFIN. Was it right away or did you go back to the juvenile

bureau?

Mr. HARRISON. Well, we went back to the juvenile bureau; yes.

Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, is there an original copy--you wrote that report by

hand, didn't you?

Mr. HARRISON. Yes.

Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, and is that--I am going to call a halt here and I

am going to mark a couple of exhibits. All right. I am going to hand

you, Mr. Harrison, what I have marked as Exhibit No. 5030. Now, this is

a copy of a letter, which you apparently signed and was addressed to

Chief Curry dated November 24. Now, let me ask you, did you write that

out in hand first?

Mr. HARRISON. Yes.

Mr. GRIFFIN. And do you know whether your office has retained

handwritten copies of those reports?

Mr. HARRISON. No. It was--I am sure it was thrown away.

Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, who did you turn your handwritten copy over to?

Mr. HARRISON. I don't know who typed it up. I know this was signed and

sent in by, I think, Lieutenant Wallace.

Mr. GRIFFIN. All right. Would you do this for me? After we finish here,

would you check with Captain Martin and Lieutenant Wallace and find

out from them if the handwritten copies of the things--of your report,

handwritten copy of your report, is available----

Mr. HARRISON. All right.

Mr. GRIFFIN. If it has been retained? I believe that you will find that

many of these were retained. There are other officers who have been

able to get these for us.

Mr. HARRISON. Uh-huh.

Mr. GRIFFIN. And so I am inclined to believe that it is probably

available someplace, and if you will get that and turn it over to us, I

would appreciate that very much. We will make a copy of it and return

the original to the department, but I would like a copy of that. Now,

do you remember whether or not--do you remember any of the people who

were in the homicide office when you filled out that report?

Mr. HARRISON. Cutchshaw, myself.

Mr. GRIFFIN. Any of the homicide people who were there?

Mr. HARRISON. I don't recall.

Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you remember if Fritz was there?

Mr. HARRISON. He was in and out of there during the time that we were

in there, but I don't recall how long he stayed or anything like that.

Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you remember if Montgomery was there?

Mr. HARRISON. Yes, Montgomery was in there.

Mr. GRIFFIN. How do you happen to know about Montgomery being there?

Mr. HARRISON. Well, I know Montgomery very well. In fact, I used to be

close neighbors to him.

Mr. GRIFFIN. I see.

Mr. HARRISON. And I do remember him being in there. I remember that

very clearly.

Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, did you talk with Montgomery at all about what had

happened down in the basement?

Mr. HARRISON. No, sir.

Mr. GRIFFIN. While you were in the juvenile bureau, before you left to

go to Love Field, did you hear any rumors as to how Ruby got in the

basement?

Mr. HARRISON. No. They were talking about--Lowery said that he thought

that he may have come by with a camera that was moved across just prior

to the time that Pierce's car went out, and they were talking about the

number of men who were on that camera, the particular camera. And--but

that is the only discussion I heard as to how he may have got in there.

For some time there, we thought that may have been the way he got in, I

mean the men in my particular bureau.

Mr. GRIFFIN. When did Lowery first tell you that?

Mr. HARRISON. Well, he had started talking about this when we were in

the basement.

Mr. GRIFFIN. And while you were in the basement, did you hear any other

rumors as to how he got in?

Mr. HARRISON. No, sir; sure didn't.

Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, as long as you were at the juvenile bureau, did you

hear any rumor about his coming down the Main Street ramp?

Mr. HARRISON. No, no; I didn't.

Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you talk with Officer McMillon on the day before you

went to the juvenile bureau and after Ruby was shot--I mean Oswald was

shot?

Mr. HARRISON. No; I didn't.

Mr. GRIFFIN. How about Officer Archer?

Mr. HARRISON. Well, now, they went up on the elevator with me, I found

out later, but I didn't see them.

Mr. GRIFFIN. Or Clardy?

Mr. HARRISON. I don't remember whether Clardy was on there or not.

Mr. GRIFFIN. Or Dean?

Mr. HARRISON. I don't recall if Dean was on there.

Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, did you talk with Dean at any time on the 24th after

Ruby was shot--Oswald was shot?

Mr. HARRISON. No, I didn't talk with Dean at all.
