(Testimony of Louis D. Miller Resumed)

Mr. Miller.
I couldn't say.
Mr. Griffin.
How about Lowery?
Mr. Miller.
I don't know where they were.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, when was the first time that you saw Officer Harrison after the shooting?
Mr. Miller.
It was later, but as to giving you a definite time on it from the time that this happened until we came back up to the office, it would be hard to do.
Mr. Griffin.
Where did you first see him ?
Mr. Miller.
Back in the office, I believe, the best I remember.
Mr. Griffin.
And what did you do when you saw him ?
Mr. Miller.
I don't remember any particular thing that we did.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, how long did you remain up in the office?
Mr. Miller.
Well, the biggest part of the day. Captain Jones, I believe it was, came down and told me to remain in the office until further notice again, that I was to remain there until further notice, and then--let's see someone else came down shortly after that and had me go down to the chief's office. I went down there, and Captain Jones told me to go back to the juvenile bureau and remain until he called for me.
Mr. Griffin.
What were you wanted for in the chiefs office?
Mr. Miller.
No one ever said, and apparently it was a mixup in the orders there, or something of that nature.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you actually talk with Jones when you got down there to the chiefs office?
Mr. Miller.
Only that he told me to go back to the juvenile bureau and wait until he notified me, that he had an assignment for me and he was going to notify me what it was later.
Mr. Griffin.
All right. How long did you remain back in the juvenile office?
Mr. Miller.
I couldn't say definitely. I know later on that afternoon, I believe it was Officer Harrison and Detectives Cutchshaw and Lowery, the best I remember, and myself, were called down to the chief's office and given an assignment, but what time it was, a definite time, I presume it would have been around 4 o'clock.
Mr. Griffin.
And who gave you the assignment?
Mr. Miller.
Chief Stevenson, the best I remember.
Mr. Griffin.
And where were you sent to?
Mr. Miller.
I was sent to Love Field.
Mr. Griffin.
And did the four of you all go out to Love Field?
Mr. Miller.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
What were you to do out there at Love Field ?
Mr. Miller.
We were to check around the American Airlines ticket office and watch proceedings around there, around the ticket counter, out there around the American Airlines ticket counter, the best I remember.
Mr. Griffin.
What were you looking for?
Mr. Miller.
Well, after we had left the chiefs office, we started out to Love Field, and Captain Martin called us back into the basement, and, the best I remember, he told us that Mayor Cabell had been scheduled to go to Washington, or some place, on an airplane, and they had had a call that there had been a bomb placed on the plane or was going to be a bomb placed on it, or something of that nature, and I believe it was because of this that we were sent out to American Airlines, and my understanding is that the mayor was supposed to have left on a Braniff plane and changed it and left on an American Airlines plane later.
Mr. Griffin.
What were you looking for around the American Airlines office?
Mr. Miller.
Anyone that might have been carrying a gun or a bomb or anything of that nature.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you have a description of anyone in particular to look for?
Mr. Miller.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, what did you all talk about on the way out there in the car?
Mr. Miller.
I am sure we talked about this shooting. Again, I couldn't
