Mr. Harrison.
Well, the they were talking, the pressmen were talking about it out in the hall as we come by.

They said he would be moved sometime that morning, and I couldn't tell you who the pressmen were or anything.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you talk with Officer Miller about this when you got in?
Mr. Harrison.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you talk with any of the officers about this
Mr. Harrison.
When Captain Martin came in, I believe we had gone to get breakfast, and when we got back, they told us to stay around the bureau there.
Mr. Griffin.
I see. Now, when you went out to get breakfast, where did you have breakfast?
Mr. Harrison.
At the Deluxe Diner there at the 1900 block of Commerce.

Mr. Harrison.
I don't know. Mine or Miller's one. I don't remember.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you ask anybody else to go with you?
Mr. Harrison.
I don't recall.
Mr. Griffin.
It was just you and Miller that went to the Deluxe Diner?
Mr. Harrison.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you see anybody at the Deluxe Diner that you knew ?
Mr. Harrison.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you know the people who operate the diner or the waitresses ?
Mr. Harrison.
No. I know some of them that work over there, but I don't recall who was working that day.
Mr. Griffin.
And do you visit there often enough so that they know you?
Mr. Harrison.
Some of the employees do.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, before you left the juvenile bureau, who did you talk with before going? You didn't ask anybody to come with you. Did you tell anybody that you were going out?
Mr. Harrison.
We told the deskman, Goolsby.
Mr. Griffin.
Goolsby?
Mr. Harrison.
We were going over to get a cup of coffee.
Mr. Griffin.
I see. Now, how long did you remain at the Deluxe Diner?
Mr. Harrison.
I would say around 30 minutes.
Mr. Griffin.
Did anything happen over there?
Mr. Harrison.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you talk about the movement of Lee Oswald at all?
Mr. Harrison.
No. We didn't know anything about it then.

Do you recall what you talked about over there?
Mr. Harrison.
I sure don't.
Mr. Griffin.
Speculation about whether they were going to get a story out of him, a confession, or anything like that?
Mr. Harrison.

Now, how did you happen to decide to leave the diner?
Mr. Harrison.
Well, we were through eating and went back over to the city hall there to the bureau.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you remember if you talked with anybody while you were over at the Deluxe Diner?

Mr. HARRISON. I don't recall.
Mr. Griffin.

Okay.

Mr. Griffin.
All right. What do you remember about the phone call ?
Mr. Harrison.
I believe it was Goolsby. He called us and told us not to leave
