Mr. Priddy.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

All right, now, do you recall having received a call from the police shortly after 11 o'clock on the 24th of November 1963?

Mr. Priddy.

Yes, sir; I was dispatching at the time, and one of the other funeral homes called and told me. I was waiting for the call when they told me that they were going to have to have an ambulance down at the----

Mr. Hubert.

You what? You were waiting for the call?

Mr. Priddy.

Yes, sir; you see. One of the funeral homes had, you know, it was on live TV, and they had seen it, and they picked up their direct line.

Mr. Hubert.

To you?

Mr. Priddy.

And told me.

Mr. Hubert.

Told you what?

Mr. Priddy.

That we were probably going to need an ambulance, that there was a disturbance down at city hall, so, I was waiting for the call when it came in.

Mr. Hubert.

I Show you a document marked for identification as Hardin Exhibit No. 5125, and ask if your handwriting appears on that document?

Mr. Priddy.

Yes, sir. Right here at the top of it where the-----

Mr. Hubert.

Now, in order that the record may show that we are both speaking of the same document, I wonder if you would put your signature along with mine and Mr. Hardin's at the top of that?

Mr. Priddy.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, you say that the handwriting at the top is in your hand?

Mr. Priddy.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

I see the word "Lee" and then something scratched out. "Oswald. City Jail to Parkland." Why did you put that information there?

Mr. Priddy.

Well, on any call we have to have the information, you see. I didn't get that information until they called in to clear. I didn't know--well, I did know, but normally I wouldn't know who the patient is, and where they were taking them to, because he might just taken him to Baylor.

Mr. Hubert.

Would you just put the number of the car that you----

Mr. Priddy.

Yes, sir. That is the first thing when you stamp it--you stamp it--then you put the number of the car.

Mr. Hubert.

I notice the word "Mike," on the left-hand top, is that in your handwriting, too?

Mr. Priddy.

I don't see it. Wait a minute. No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Also notice a name on this document, Hardin Exhibit No. 5125, printed, telephone number, and then written No. 19.

Mr. Priddy.

You mean this printed?

Mr. Hubert.

Yes; that No. 19 there.

Mr. Priddy.

I can't tell.

Mr. Hubert.

All right. Now, then, there is on Hardin Exhibit No. 5125, next to the printed item "time called," a stamped time and the time stated there is 11:21, November 24. Can you enlighten us as to the meaning of that entry?

Mr. Priddy.

Whenever I receive a call from the ambulance--from the police department I stick this card in the machine, and it automatically stamps the date and the time that the----

Mr. Hubert.

What kind of machine is that?

Mr. Priddy.

Just a time machine like a timeclock, except it is made for these.

Mr. Hubert.

You Slip a card in there and it automatically stamps the time. You don't have to hit it?

Mr. Priddy.

No; you just shove it in there.

Mr. Hubert.

How accurate is that timeclock?

Mr. Priddy.

Well, it is as accurate as the police department clock. I mean, they are synchronized.

Mr. Hubert.

How are they synchronized and how often?

Mr. Priddy.

Don't know the mechanism. I know a man comes out and they are serviced regularly.

Mr. Hubert.

By the police department?

Mr. Priddy.

No, by the manufacturer; and I don't know who that is.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you know how often they are serviced for correction and accuracy?
