(Testimony of Clyde A. Haygood)
Mr. Haygood.
there was something in the building, he couldn't determine what it was, but it was just something there that he couldn't explain, but he was definite that the shots did come from there.
And after talking to him and the man that was on the other side that complained he was hit by a piece of concrete from the ricochet at that time, I called the dispatcher and asked for squads to cover the Texas School Book Depository Building off.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember what your number was that day?
Mr. Haygood.
Beg your pardon?
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember what number you used for calling the dispatcher that day?
Mr. Haygood.
Yes. My original call number is 142.
Mr. Belin.
I have here a Sawyer Deposition Exhibit A, which appears to be a transcript of a police radio log, and I notice that at 12:35 p.m., there is a call from 142 to 531. 531 is your station headquarters ?
Mr. Haygood.
Right.
Mr. Belin.
Do you want to read what you said ?
Mr. HAYGOOD. "I talked to a guy at the scene who says the shots were fired from the Texas School Book Depository Building with the Hertz Rent A Car sign on top."
Mr. Belin.
Is that what you said?
Mr. Haygood.
Approximately. I don't recall the exact words.
Mr. Belin.
There was a response to you. What does it say there?
Mr. Haygood.
"Get his name, address, phone number and all information you can."
Mr. Belin.
Did you do that?
Mr. Haygood.
No, I never.
Mr. Belin.
What happened?
Mr. HAYGOOD. Because I was told to go to the School Book Depository Building. I instructed the three different people to come to the front of the School Book Depository Building and remain there until they were talked to.
Mr. Belin.
You took these people that you had with you?
Mr. Haygood.
I did not take them, no.
Mr. Belin.
You instructed them to go there?
Mr. Haygood.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
In front of the School Book Depository?
Mr. Haygood.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
And remain there until someone talked to them?
Mr. Haygood.
Right.
Mr. Belin.
You don't know the names of these people?
Mr. Haygood.
No, I don't.
Mr. Belin.
Do you know who talked to thereat all?
Mr. Haygood.
No; I don't.
Mr. Belin.
What did you do then?
Mr. HAYGOOD. At that time I went to the School Building at the rear location of it, which would be
Mr. Belin.
To the back door?
Mr. Haygood.
North side of it, yes.
Mr. Belin.
Where that door leads out there to the dock?
Mr. Haygood.
Yes; on the northeast corner there.
Mr. Belin.
What did you do then?
Mr. HAYGOOD. At that time I talked to the colored male that was standing at the door and asked him how long he had been there, and he said he had been there some 5 minutes or so. And I asked him if anyone had came out that door, and he said that they had not.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember his name?
Mr. Haygood.
No; I don't.
Mr. Belin.
Then what did you do?
Mr. HAYGOOD. At that time, it was people, squads and all arriving at the scene, and I went on into the building, which they stayed outside, and helped them search the building.
