Mr. Priddy.

No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

But, you all rely upon them?

Mr. Priddy.

Yes, sir; we have never had any occasion to question the----

Mr. Hubert.

Tell us what happened about this particular call?

Mr. Priddy.

Well, I got the call, and I stamped it, and then I was waiting.

Mr. Hubert.

Got the call from whom?

Mr. Priddy.

From the police department.

Mr. Hubert.

What did you do when-you got it?

Mr. Priddy.

Well, I checked my receipts, the other receipts to see who was clear, see, we have two ambulances there and it turned out that----

Mr. Hubert.

Go ahead.

Mr. Priddy.

That the ambulance that I dispatched, I don't remember the name of it--the number, but the one that I dispatched was coming back from veterans hospital, and the I knew that they were in---thoroughly close to downtown, because I just had had a call from them. They' called when they got to the hospital and they were cleared, so, when the police department called I told them that the there was an ambulance on the air and they dispatched it by----

Mr. Hubert.

Did you tell them that they could reach that ambulance by putting the call?

Mr. Priddy.

Yes, sir; they just, you know--what number was that?

Mr. Hubert.

Call? You mean the car number?

Mr. Priddy.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

605.

Mr. Priddy.

605.

Mr. Hubert.

That appears on 5125, and I should ask you, really, what that means?

Mr. Priddy.

Yes, sir; 605.

Mr. Hubert.

You told them to call car 605 because it was on the air, and that means he could be reached by calling him. Did you tell them that was the closest one you could find?

Mr. Priddy.

Yes, Sir. Well----

Mr. Hubert.

That is the one you gave, in any case?

Mr. Priddy.

No--yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

And that was the closest one you could find?

Mr. Priddy.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

You knew that the people had previously, that is to say, Mike Hardin in car 605, had previously cleared from the veterans hospital stating that he was coming back to O'Neal, and you figured he was en route, and that it would--be quicker to reach him that way, is that correct?

Mr. Priddy.

Yes, sir; I had figured him about to the freeway.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, I notice there is something here also in the apparently timecard stamp code 6, 11:30, 11-24.

Mr. Priddy.

That is when he arrived at the hospital.

Mr. Hubert.

How was that received?

Mr. Priddy.

I monitor all of the police broadcasts while my ambulance is out.

Mr. Hubert.

So, you heard that?

Mr. Priddy.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

And you took the card and put it in the machine?

Mr. Priddy.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

I notice some empty spaces in between, could you tell us now how that came about?

Mr. Priddy.

At the time I was monitoring this the telephone was ringing, and people were running in and out, you know, confusion, and I didn't hear when they left the police station.

Mr. Hubert.

So, therefore, you didn't stamp it?

Mr. Priddy.

I didn't stamp it, that's right.

Mr. Hubert.

The next thing you did here was the second code 6?

Mr. Priddy.

This was the arrival at the hospital.

Mr. Hubert.

Arrival at the hospital?

Mr. Priddy.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

And therefore, you put that stamp on it?

Mr. Priddy.

Yes, sir; sometimes due to radio interference you are not able
