Mr. HUBERT. Let me put it this way--generally speaking, did you give any specific instructions regarding the security of Oswald, during that period we are talking about?
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know what system of checking for identification was being used by the officers on the third floor guarding the elevator and staircase?
Mr. CURRY. I don't know of my own knowledge. I could see them checking the people to see whether they were up to do police business or whether they were newsmen trying to cover the incident. We were carrying on the normal business we would conduct, and this would bring a great many people to the third floor, relatives of prisoners, complainants, various people that would come to the other bureaus.
Mr. HUBERT. Normally, there would be no police checking those two elevators?
Mr. HUBERT. So that, I suppose it is fair to state, isn't it, that the main function of that check was to keep curiosity seekers out of the way?
Mr. HUBERT. And to check also to see if anybody had any legitimate business there?
Mr. HUBERT. Well, I think we can just continue on then.
Mr. CURRY. Well, after Oswald was arraigned, I went back to my office--I went home a little while after that and that was, I believe, Saturday night.
Mr. HUBERT. No; that would be Friday night.
Mr. CURRY. Yes; Friday night, yes; and Saturday morning I came down to the office and I don't remember any particular outstanding incident that occurred during the day. It was a rather routine investigation--there continued the investigation from the homicide division section on the murder of the President.
Mr. HUBERT. Was the crowd of newspapermen still there?
Mr. HUBERT. Were the security measures you have described still in force?
Mr. HUBERT. It was neither more nor less?
Mr. CURRY. It was about the same. I had several conferences during the day with various staff members and I was kept informed of the progress of the investigation. Late that evening, the different members of the press, news media, began to ask me when we were going to transfer Oswald because he had been filed on, and I told them I didn't know, that this was something that would be left up to Captain Fritz because he was conducting the investigation and the interrogation, and usually he would be the one to determine when he was ready to transfer the prisoner.
