Mr. Hubert.

facts you may know about the general inquiry, and more particularly, about your actions with respect to putting the radio call on the air and so forth.
Now, you have appeared here by virtue of a general request made by Mr. J. Lee Rankin, General Counsel of the Commission. Under the rules adopted by the Commission, you are normally entitled to a 3-day written notice before you are required to testify, but the rules also provide you can waive that notice if you wish to do so. So, I ask you now if you are willing to waive the 3-day notice that you would normally be entitled to?

Mr. Hulse.

I do.

Mr. Hubert.

Will you rise, and raise your right hand so as to be sworn. Do you solemnly swear that the testimony that will be given in this matter will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?

Mr. Hulse.

I do.

Mr. Hubert.

Will you state your name, please.

Mr. Hulse.

Mr. Hubert.

What is your occupation, sir?

Mr. Hulse.

Policeman, city of Dallas.

Mr. Hubert.

How long have you been so employed?

Mr. Hulse.

Six years.

Mr. Hubert.

On November 24, 1963, were you on duty?

Mr. Hulse.

Yes, sir; I was.

Mr. Hubert.

What were your specific duties on that day?

Mr. Hulse.

Radio dispatcher.

Mr. Hubert.

What does that mean that you do?

Mr. Hulse.

Dispatch all calls in the city of Dallas which come through on the telephone lines.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, you mean that you can get into radio communication with moving vehicles and other places through special channels?

Mr. Hulse.

That's right.

Mr. Hubert.

What channel were you using, do you remember?

Mr. Hulse.

Using channel 1.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you know Mrs. Frances Cason?

Mr. Hulse.

Yes, I do.

Mr. Hubert.

Who is she?

Mr. Hulse.

She is a telephone operator for the city of Dallas Police Department.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, I invite you to look at the document before you which has been marked for identification as: "Dallas, Texas, April 1, 1964. Exhibit 5135, deposition of Frances Cason and C. E. Hulse," and ask you whether or not you have signed it?

Mr. Hulse.

Yes, I have.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, would you tell us what part you played with reference to the activities reflected by Exhibit 5135?

Mr. Hulse.

I dispatched this shooting call to 118, and also dispatched the same call to ambulance 605, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, can you recall how you got the information, or where you got the information as to the shooting of Oswald?

Mr. Hulse.

To the best of my knowledge, I don't remember who told me that that he had been shot. Some other officer, or some other telephone clerk in the dispatcher's office told me that he had been shot.

Mr. Hubert.

Is it possible that Mrs. Cason----

Mr. Hulse.

It is quite possible that she did.

Mr. Hubert.

How would she do it? Were you in the same office with her?

Mr. Hulse.

No, now, I was in another office which is divided by a plate glass, but we also have an intercom system and it is quite possible she told me through the intercom system that Oswald had been shot.
