Mr. Slack.

No, sir; they have a direct line to the county.

Mr. Hubert.

So, the purpose of notifying the dispatcher, so far as you know was for them to telephone the county that the prisoner was on his way?

Mr. Slack.

Apparently; yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Had you been told that by Wiggins or had you been told that- merely to notify the dispatcher ?

Mr. Slack.

The

Mr. Hubert.

We have to take it on the record. Just----

Mr. Slack.

Well, my letter there I wrote that--do you have a copy of it?

Mr. Hubert.

Yes.

Mr. Slack.

That I--well, I can say that I was told to tell the dispatcher that he was en route to the county.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you know who the dispatcher was?

Mr. Slack.

Jim Farr is the dispatcher.

Mr. Hubert.

No; I mean on that particular day?

Mr. Slack.

Well, he is, like I say, the dispatcher up there, but when I called on this particular occasion, I got Miss Cason first, and then I--

Mr. Hubert.

Of course, that was to report to Miss Cason that the man had been shot ?

Mr. Slack.

Yes, sir; but

Mr. Hubert.

What did you say to Miss Cason?

Mr. Slack.

Told her that Oswald had been shot, and that we needed a doctor.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you call for an ambulance, tell her you needed an ambulance

Mr. Slack.

No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Your remark to Miss Cason was simply that Oswald had been shot and to get a doctor ?

Mr. Slack.

Yes, sir; best of my knowledge.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, when did you write out the entry which you say was in your own hand showing that the prisoner was being transferred at 11:20? Was that done at 11:20 or later ?

Mr. Slack.

I would--I believe I wrote it out then. In other words, what I am in the habit of doing is this. That is something that comes naturally.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, the normal procedure is that the time of release and the time of action taken.-

Mr. Slack.

I was standing there

Mr. Hubert.

Let me finish my question; is done simultaneously with the act itself?

Mr. Slack.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

So, that normally, when a prisoner leaves you make these notations, and you look to see what time it is you enter the time, and that is how the notation is made?

Mr. Slack.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

As far as you know, was there any deviation from that normal procedure in the case of the transfer of Oswald ?

Mr. Slack.

The deviation, it was in this point, that we usually have it filled out before the prisoner is brought down. In this particular case, we didn't know when he was going to be transferred, so therefore, we had to write down when he did come down.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, you hadn't pulled his card ?

Mr. Slack.

I had his card pulled. I knew he was going to be transferred presumably.

Mr. Hubert.

But you didn't know the time; so, therefore, you hadn't entered anything?

Mr. Slack.

No, sir; I had it on the clipboard on the counter where we always keep them.

Mr. Hubert.

What 'is your best recollection about what you entered there with reference to the shooting, that is to say, was the entry made before or after the shooting?

Mr. Slack.

It was made before the shooting.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, it was made in the interval when he came out of the elevator and they walked out?

Mr. Slack.

Yes.
