Mr. ELY. And where do you live? Mr. PUTNAM. 2015 Joan Drive. Mr. ELY. What is your occupation? Mr. PUTNAM. Police officer--sergeant of police. Mr. ELY. How long have you been with the Dallas Police Department? Mr. PUTNAM. Ten years and four months. Mr. ELY. Could you give us something of your background before you started to work for the police department--where you went to school and what you did before you became a policeman? Mr. PUTNAM. Is this pertinent? Mr. ELY. Where did you go to school? Mr. PUTNAM. Is this pertinent to the deposition? Well, if you want it, I will give it to you. I went to school at Charleston, S.C. and I was in the Navy for about 7 years. Mr. ELY. And did you go directly from the Navy to the police department? Mr. PUTNAM. No; from the Navy I went to work for Lone Star Gas Co. here in Dallas. From there I went to work for Prudential Insurance Co. from which I was recalled into the Navy again, and when I was released, I went back to the insurance company, and from there I applied for employment with the Dallas Police Department. Mr. ELY. Thank you, sergeant. Now, on November 22, 1963, were you on duty with the police department? Mr. PUTNAM. Yes, sir. Mr. ELY. Did your duties on that day involve you in any way in the investigation of the assassination of President Kennedy? Mr. PUTNAM. Yes. Mr. ELY. What was the nature of your involvement with that investigation? Mr. PUTNAM. Just to assist in covering of the Book Depository Building and aiding in searching the building. Mr. ELY. Did your duties involve you in any way in the investigation of the shooting of Officer Tippit? Mr. PUTNAM. No. Mr. ELY. Could you state the nature of your specialty with the police department? What sort of work do you specialize in? Mr. PUTNAM. My assignment then and now is sergeant of police, supervising patrolmen in the radio patrol division. (Instrument marked by the reporter as "Putnam Exhibit No. 1," for identification.) Mr. ELY. Sergeant, I will show you first a map which is designated Putnam Deposition Exhibit No. 1, and I will also show you two documents designated Sawyer Exhibits A and B, which purport to be transcripts of radio logs from the 22d of November. Now, although you would have no personal knowledge of where Officer Tippit was assigned that day, assume for purposes of my questioning that his original assignment on the 22d of November was within the area marked 78 on Putnam Exhibit 1. Can you tell me within which district the corner of Lancaster and Eighth Street is? Mr. PUTNAM. District 109. Mr. ELY. And is it correct that here on the exhibit marked Sawyer Deposition Exhibit A there is a call recorded at 12:54 p.m., from 78 to 531 reporting he was at Lancaster and 8th? Mr. PUTNAM. Yes; there is.
