Mrs. Cason.

identify himself and ask to speak to Officer Farr, that is J.G. Farr, who is our corporal.

Mr. Hubert.

How do you spell his last name?

Mrs. Cason.

[spelling] F-a-r-r. And he was in charge on that Sunday because we did not have a sergeant there, and he had asked to speak to Farr, and I told him Officer Farr was working channel 2, which is a separate channel that we have, and so he told me, he said, "They just shot Oswald," or "Somebody just shot Oswald," and I told him, "Okay." And placed him on hold and told Farr that he had a red light on 531, and I proceeded to. call the ambulance service on the hot line.

Mr. Hubert.

Please describe the hot line?

Mrs. Cason.

The hot line is a straight line from our dispatcher office to the ambulance company which requires no dialing. You just lift it up and it rings from our office to theirs.

Mr. Hubert.

So, then, immediately upon getting this information from Slack you passed it on to Farr by word of mouth?

Mrs. Cason.

I did not tell Officer Farr that Oswald had just been shot. I felt it was more important to get the ambulance and in time they would know soon enough. I told them he had a red light, and I knew Slack would tell him what happened in the basement.

Mr. Hubert.

So then you flipped the button for the hot line at O'Neal Funeral Home?

Mrs. Cason.

Yes; I did.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you get it immediately?

Mrs. Cason.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

What happened then?

Mrs. Cason.

It is just a matter of seconds until they answered, and I told them that someone just shot Oswald in the basement, and we needed a white ambulance, cede 3, to the basement.

Mr. Hubert.

What does code 3 mean?

Mrs. Cason.

Code 3, red lights and sirens, as fast as possible.

Mr. Hubert.

What did the man on the other end say to you?

Mrs. Cason.

He told me he would send ambulance 607, from his office, and I told him, "Okay," and hung up the phone.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, who were you speaking to, do you know?

Mrs. Cason.

I do not know. Sometimes they will give their names when they answer, and sometimes they do not, and I do not remember if he did or not.

Mr. Hubert.

He told you that 607, ambulance 607, would answer this call?

Mrs. Cason.

Yes; he did.

Mr. Hubert.

And answer it under conditions of code 3, that is to say, as fast as possible, red lights and sirens.

Mrs. Cason.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

What happened next?

Mrs. Cason.

Apparently I must have told Officer C.E. Hulse, who was on the radio, that Oswald had just been shot, and I had ordered an ambulance, and by then I proceeded to make up the call sheet, which is just routine work that we do in the office on every call that we take.

Mr. Hubert.

All right. Now, you have before you Exhibit 5135, which is the call sheet we are talking about, and I notice written in hand, "605 on air," and it seems to be next to the initials, "F.C." Is that language, to wit, "Ambulance 605 on air," in your handwriting?

Mrs. Cason.

Yes; it is.

Mr. Hubert.

Are the initials "F.C." your initials?

Mrs. Cason.

Yes; they are.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, can you tell us about when you made up that card?

Mrs. Cason.

Immediately after ordering the ambulance I made up the call sheet. I did not have to look up the district or any of the information because I knew it all by memory, and we have a lot of calls to city hall, and normally use 2000 and Main, and I knew, of course, it was district 102, and----

Mr. Hubert.

And the top of the card shows it is district 102?

Mrs. Cason.

Yes, sir.
