Mr. BELIN. Have I asked you whether or not you care to read the deposition? I don't believe I have. You have an opportunity here to either read the deposition and then sign it, or else waive the signing of it and have the court reporter, Helen Laidrich, send it directly to us in Washington? Mr. WALKER. I will go ahead and sign it. Mr. BELIN. All right, Miss Laidrich will get in touch with you at the Dallas Police Department, I assume. Mr. WALKER. Yes. Do you want me to sign it now? Mr. BELIN. I am talking about when she gets it typed up. Do you want to read it or have her send it to us directly? Mr. WALKER. Do I have to come, down here to read it here? Mr. BELIN. Yes, you have to come down and read it here. Mr. WALKER. I will come down and read it and sign it. Mr. BELIN. All right, fine. Thank you, sir. TESTIMONY OF GERALD LYNN HILL The testimony of Gerald Lynn Hill was taken at 4:15 p.m., on April 8, 1964, in the office of the U.S. attorney, 301 Post Office Building, Bryan and Ervay Streets, Dallas, Tex., by Mr. David W. Belin, assistant counsel of the President's Commission. Mr. BELIN. Sergeant, would you stand and raise your right hand, please. Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God? Mr. HILL. I do. Mr. BELIN. All right. Sergeant, could you please state your name. Mr. HILL. Gerald Lynn Hill. Mr. BELIN. What is your occupation? Mr. HILL. Sergeant in the Dallas Police Department. Mr. BELIN. How long have you been with the Dallas Police Department? Mr. HILL. Since March 7, 1955. Mr. BELIN. How old are you, Sergeant Hill? Mr. HILL. Thirty-four. Mr. BELIN. Where were you born? Mr. HILL. Ferris, Tex. Mr. BELIN. Did you go to school there? Mr. HILL. No, sir; I went to school in Dallas. Mr. BELIN. How far did you get through school? Mr. HILL. Went through high school. Mr. BELIN. Then what did you do when you got out of high school? Mr. HILL. Went to work for the Dallas Times Herald. Worked there from January of 1948 until April of 1954. At the time I resigned there, I was radio-television editor for the paper. Went from there to the Dallas Bureau of WBAP-TV in Fort Worth, and worked for them until March the 21st, 1958. The last 2 weeks I was working for them, I was attending the police academy for the police department. Mr. BELIN. Then you went in the police department? Mr. HILL. I went with the police prior to quitting. I turned in my notice with WBAP and they let me work it out while I attended the police school, because I was actually hired on a Saturday, and the police school started on Monday, and I wanted to leave on good terms with one place and start to school on time with the other, so they worked out an agreement with me. Mr. BELIN. Were you on duty on November 22, 1963? Mr. HILL. Yes, sir; I was. Mr. BELIN. Where were you on duty?
