The public elevators on this floor opened into a lobby midpoint of a corridor that extended along the length of the floor for about 140 feet. At one end of this 7-foot-wide corridor were the offices occupied by Chief of Police Jesse E. Curry and his immediate subordinates; at the other end was a small pressroom that could accommodate only a handful of reporters. Along this corridor were other police offices, including those of the major detective bureaus. Between the pressroom and the lobby was the complex of offices belonging to the homicide and robbery bureau, headed by Capt. J. Will Fritz." Warren Commission Exhibit No. 2175 is a third floor layout of Dallas police headquarters. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator In addition to Det. Elmer Boyd on the right in this photograph, suspect Lee Harvey Oswald was also escorted that afternoon by Det. Richard M. Sims (left in cowboy hat) and Dt. Guy Hall, slightly visible in the cowboy hat behind Boyd. The man on the far right holding the 16mm film camera is WFAA-TV photographer Ron Reiland, who had earlier taken film at the Tippit shooting scene and various Oak Cliff locations while police searched for a suspect. Reiland then took footage inside the Texas Theatre as Oswald was escorted into a police car. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
