He said, however, that wind may be an additional problem because the remains of the bridge remain unstable. There were also "power line issues" upriver. Recovery efforts continued despite the weather and the poor visibility...

Not even the Dallas police knew when their interrogation of Oswald would end and when he would be transferred to custody of the county sheriff. In fact, a U.S. postal inspector had unexpectedly dropped in on the questioning and joined the quizzing. That held up the transfer by at least half an hour; without the delay, Ruby would have been too late. His televised shooting of Oswald occurred...
