"There was a terrible crush of newsmen in the Police Station basement. As Oswald came out of the line-up room, I climbed up on a cabinet and waited for him. He was ringed by detectives with those typical hats that Texas lawmen wear. I shot as he and his escort came under me. Oswald looked up with a sort of sullen and quizzical look, as if to say: "What the hell are you doing up there?"
-Jim Murray, p. 121: That Day in Dallas, by Richard Trask, 1998 |
