Mr. Cabell.

the restaurant and had left when we came in, or had seen us enter the restaurant, put in this call, apparently just a nuisance or harassing type of thing.

Mr. Hubert.

How long after you had been in the restaurant did this call come?

Mr. Cabell.

Oh, a matter of 10 or 15 minutes.

Mr. Hubert.

You never found the source of that?

Mr. Cabell.

No.

Mr. Hubert.

Was any investigation made?

Mr. Cabell.

There was no way of making an investigation. The assumption is that the call was placed from one of the public telephones that are up and down that business section there.

Mr. Hubert.

Mr. Cabell, there have been some reports as to the authenticity or veracity of, for which I do not vouch at all, to the effect that some pressure was put upon Chief of Police Curry by you or others to cooperate with the press in all ways possible. I think in fairness I should give you an opportunity to comment upon that.

Mr. Cabell.

There was one that has been rumored. One of our local weekly publications made that as a statement. That is completely false. At no time did I have any contact with Chief Curry to the extent that I gave him any orders, instructions, or make any comment upon the situation other than the contact which I have mentioned with reference to this proposed torchlight parade.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you know of any pressure put upon him by anyone in authority over him?

Mr. Cabell.

I do not know of any, and my assumption would be, and I say assumption, would be that none had been made, because I know how Mr. Crull operates to the extent that he would not interfere in the duties of his chief of police. Now I am sure that they had conversations with reference to security and that sort of thing, but I would question very definitely that any orders as such on that subject would have been issued by Mr. Crull.

Mr. Hubert.

In any case, neither you nor anyone else, to your knowledge, did anything of that sort, to wit, bring pressure upon him in anyway whatsoever?

Mr. Cabell.

That is entirely correct.

Mr. Hubert.

Mr. Cabell, do you have anything else to say, sir?

Mr. Cabell.

No, sir; I don't know of anything else that I could add.

Mr. Hubert.

Prior to the commencement of the recordation of your testimony, we had a very short conversation, but will you agree with me now that there was nothing that was discussed in that conversation relating to the testimony that has not been actually covered in the deposition?

Mr. Cabell.

That is correct. I recall no conversation of any sort pertaining to this incident that has not been covered in the examination under this deposition.

Mr. Hubert.

All right, sir, thank you very much.
(The following questions were asked upon completion of the deposition of Mrs. Earle Cabell.)

Mr. Hubert.

Mayor Cabell, I wonder if you would agree for just a couple of questions for your deposition to be continued under the same terms and conditions that I began, and that you are under the same oath?

Mr. Cabell.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

I would like for you to comment, if you will, please, about the recordation of conversations on your telephone, telling us when the recordation system was set up, and when removed.

Mr. Cabell.

It was set up on Sunday afternoon. That would have been the 24th; which recorded all conversations that came into action when the receiver was taken off the hook. It was removed on, I would say, after about 3 weeks. I am quite sure that it had been removed prior to December 31.

Mr. Hubert.

Have you yourself ever learned of any conversations that were of a threatening nature?

Mr. Cabell.

No.

Mr. Hubert.

You have not heard the tape, of course?

Mr. Cabell.

No; I have not.
