Mr. Hubert.

Mr. Hubert.
How long have you been so occupied?

Thirteen years.
Mr. Hubert.
What is the function in general of a TV engineer?
Mr. Richey.
Well, it is all phases of operation of TV equipment.
Mr. Hubert.
Were you on duty with the remote truck of WBAP-TV in Dallas on November 23 and 24?
Mr. Richey.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Where was the truck parked?
Mr. Richey.
It was parked on Commerce Street facing east.
Mr. Hubert.
That is to say, facing what street? Pearl or North Express?
Mr. Richey.
I don't know really. It was on the left-hand side of the street facing east, right in front of the city hall, or whatever it is.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know where Harwood Street is?
Mr. Richey.
Harwood? No, sir; I am not very familiar with the streets.
Mr. Hubert.
HOw far away from the corner was the back of your truck?
Mr. Richey.
Oh, I would say 40 or 50 feet, approximately. I don't know.
Mr. Hubert.
How much room was there between the front of the truck and the street curbing forming part of the entrance or exit from the police department into Commerce Street?
Mr. Richey.
Oh, 15 or 20 feet, I imagine. It wasn't too far.
Mr. Hubert.
Were you on duty on the 23d of November? That is to say, Saturday, November 23, 1963?
Mr. Richey.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Was the position of the truck that you have just described different on the 24th than that which you have described?
Mr. Richey.
No, sir; it was moved in and left.
Mr. Hubert.
Stayed there both days?
Mr. Richey.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
What hours were you on duty on the 23d? That is to say, Saturday?
Mr. Richey.
I don't remember exactly what time we got over there. I think we had a 6 o'clock call from here, from Fort Worth.
Mr. Hubert.
Six in the morning?
Mr. Richey.
Yes. And I think we would have pictures by 8 o'clock, so I would say we were there somewhere around 6:30, I imagine.
Mr. Hubert.
How long did you stay there?
Mr. Richey.
It was till late that night. I am not sure of the time. I believe it was around 8 or 9 o'clock, that night, but I am not sure.
Mr. Hubert.
When you went home, you left the equipment where it was?
Mr. Richey.
That was on Saturday; yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
What time did you go back to work on Sunday, the 24th?
Mr. Richey.
Sunday, I think I'm mixed up here. Sunday was the morning we had a 6 o'clock call. Saturday morning is the day we moved in early. We had a 1 o'clock call.
Mr. Hubert.
One o'clock?
Mr. Richey.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
So you worked from 1 in the morning until about 8 Saturday night?
Mr. Richey.
It was rather not that Saturday night. We got back about 6:30 on Sunday morning. Saturday night is the night we stayed late.
Mr. Hubert.
Now prior to the 23d, or the 24th, did you know a man by the name of Jack Ruby?
Mr. Richey.
No; I never heard of him.
Mr. Hubert.
Never seen him before?
Mr. Richey.
Never heard of him.
