Mr. HUBERT. Now, I'm going to ask you some questions about November the
24th. What time did you go on duty that day?
Mr. BROCK. 7:30 a.m.
Mr. HUBERT. Then your shift would have ended----
Mr. BROCK. 3:30.
Mr. HUBERT. P.M.?
Mr. BROCK. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Where did you report at 7:30?
Mr. BROCK. Well, assembly room, I guess is what you call it. We all
reported there.
Mr. HUBERT. At the Dallas police department?
Mr. BROCK. In the basement of the city hall; yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Then you are assigned to your cars and go cruising?
Mr. BROCK. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. And you had communication by radio, two men----
Mr. BROCK. We were working two men.
Mr. HUBERT. Who was with you that day?
Mr. BROCK. M. L. Wise.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you actually get out on the streets and start prowling?
Mr. BROCK. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Then what happened?
Mr. BROCK. We received a call from the dispatcher to call 511, that is
radio patrol office.
Mr. HUBERT. And did you do that?
Mr. BROCK. And we called them and they advised us to come on down there
as soon as we could.
Mr. HUBERT. What time did you get down there?
Mr. BROCK. It was a few minutes after 9. I don't know exactly.
Mr. HUBERT. What prowl car were you driving? Do you remember the number
of it?
Mr. BROCK. We were working squad 71. That is the number of the squad,
not the car.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you have a different car number every day or drive the
same car usually?
Mr. BROCK. You mean the same----
Mr. HUBERT. Talking about squad 71--I mean, the automobile has a number
on it, doesn't it?
Mr. BROCK. Yes; I don't recall what the number--we usually have the
same one.
Mr. HUBERT. Same car? What did you do? Park your car in the----
Mr. BROCK. We took it down there and parked it in the alley there just
north of the--on Commerce at Pearl Street, and walked on down to the
city hall.
Mr. HUBERT. You parked it on Pearl Street, or in the alley?
Mr. BROCK. In the alley, just north of Commerce, just off Pearl Street.
Mr. HUBERT. That is the alleyway that runs from Pearl up to the back of
the city hall building and then makes a right to Main Street?
Mr. BROCK. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Has the form of an L-shape, is that right?
Mr. BROCK. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. You put it in that alleyway?
Mr. BROCK. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you drive it all the way up that alleyway up there?
Mr. BROCK. No, sir; it was down close to the street there.
Mr. HUBERT. But, you walked up the alley?
Mr. BROCK. No, sir; we walked back out on the street and then down to
the building and then----
Mr. HUBERT. You didn't go in the building through the back door.
Mr. BROCK. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Through that back door?
Mr. BROCK. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you try the back door?
Mr. BROCK. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, you all parked your car near Pearl Street
and didn't even walk up or ride up the alley at all?
Mr. BROCK. Oh, no; we walked back out and went down the street sidewalk.
