December 18, 19&3 Mr. j. &. ourry Chief of Police Subject: Interview of John Tankersley WBAP-TV 1967 Milam Ft, Worth, Texas GL1-1933 - AN4-2484 December 17, 19&3 Sir: Mr. Tankersley stated he came to Dallas early Sunday morning, November 24, 19&3, with crev: from WBAP-TV. He was working with David Timmons. They went to the third floor of the City Hall and was at Chief Curry's Office until 10 to 15 minutes before the shooting. They went down on the elevator to the basement and pushed their camera out through the double doors into the basement driveway area. He says their camera was mounted on tripod as high as possible to see over the crowd, making the camera top-heavy, and at one time it nearly tipped over, and one of the detectives helped steady the camera. He also remembered that Jimmie Turner came across the rail and helped them push the camera out into the basement parking area, They did not have time to get the camera into operation, and tied it to the railing. Mr. Tankersley said that when Oswald was brought out, he was standing in the area that leads to basement parking. He remembers the movement of some autos about the time of the shooting. He did not know Jack Buby or see him prior to shooting. Mr. Tankersley gave me a short 16mm film of the shooting* This film is one that he had for himself and said we could have it, and he would make another later. Respectfully submitted, C. C. Wallace, Lieutenant Juvenile Bureau CCYJ:nw Tr/r
