Mr. Hubert.

How long have you been a patrolman on the Dallas Police Force?

Mr. Slack.

Ten years.

Mr. Hubert.

What is your particular assignment?

Mr. Slack.

Working in the jail office.

Mr. Hubert.

What duties do you have there, in general?

Mr. Slack.

We answer the telephone, and when the officers bring the work-sheets down, we book them on a booking form.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, book the prisoners in and out?

Mr. Slack.

Check them out when somebody comes in and pays them out.

Mr. Hubert.

When you say, "Pays them out," you mean, makes bond?

Mr. Slack.

Yes, sir; or writs.

Mr. Hubert.

Or writs? Oh, you mean if they are released on a writ?

Mr. Slack.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, your office then is the control center, as it were, for people coming in and people coming out?

Mr. Slack.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

You work in shifts, of course, like all the rest of the police?

Mr. Slack.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Were you on duty on November 24, 1963, the day that Oswald was shot?

Mr. Slack.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

What time did you come on duty ?

Mr. Slack.

6:30 a.m., in the morning.

Mr. Hubert.

You had what is called the first platoon, I think. Eleven o'clock, oh, no---I beg your pardon. That would be the second platoon.

Mr. Slack.

Second platoon.

Mr. Hubert.

Comes on at 6:30 and goes off at 2:30?

Mr. Slack.

2:30.

Mr. Hubert.

Therefore, you were there between 11 and the time Oswald was shot?

Mr. Slack.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you know Jack Ruby ?

Mr. Slack.

No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Had you ever seen him before that day?

Mr. Slack.

Not to my knowledge; no.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you recall the occasion when Oswald was brought down to be transferred to the county Jail?

Mr. Slack.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Well, tell us what you know about it in your own words.

Mr. Slack.

Well, he got off the elevator and -

Mr. Hubert.

Had you ever seen him before that time ?

Mr. Slack.

No, sir; and he was flanked on either side by detectives and Captain Fritz was with the detectives, and they went out the swinging doors, which is into the basement of the city hall.

Mr. Hubert.

DO you know what time that was ?

Mr. Slack.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

What time was it?

Mr. Slack.

11:20.

Mr. Hubert.

How do you fix that ?
