Mr. HUBERT. Are those records relied upon by the O’Neal Funeral Home in
the course of their ordinary normal business transactions?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Is it a normal administrative matter to make such records
as you now hold in your hand, which you are producing?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes, sir; it is.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, now, we’ll mark these various documents for
identification, as follows, to wit: And I might add that although
you have the originals we have compared the originals, have we not,
with these photostatic copies, and, of course, they are identical.
Therefore, I am not going to take the original from you, or even mark
them for identification, but use, for all purposes the photostatic
copies that you have supplied and you may keep the originals, or return
them where you got them from. But for the purposes of identification,
now, let us mark the documents as follows: There is an ambulance call
record which I am identifying as follows:
“Dallas, Tex., March 31, 1964. Exhibit No. 5125, deposition of Michael
Hardin,” and signing my name on it.
Mr. HARDIN. Okay, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. There is another ambulance call record which I am marking
as follows: “Dallas, Tex., March 31, 1964. Exhibit 5126. Deposition of
Michael Hardin,” and signing my name on it. Finally there is a call
ticket bearing number 35127, which I am marking, “Dallas, Tex., March
31, 1964. Exhibit 5127, Deposition of Michael Hardin,” and signing my
name on the bottom of it, and for the purposes of identification and
so that the record may show that we are both talking about the same
documents I will ask you to sign your name near mine, or below on each
one of the three.
Mr. HARDIN. All right.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, Mr. Hardin, I hand you the document which has been
marked for identification as Exhibit 5125, and ask you to identify that
document for the record.
Mr. HARDIN. That is the ambulance call sheet--we--that was the original
call sheet from the--made from the call itself, or at the time of the
call itself.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, whose handwriting appears on that?
Mr. HARDIN. That is our dispatcher, or Hal Priddy, this is his
handwriting.
Mr. HUBERT. That is Harold--Hal Priddy. [Spelling] P-r-i-d-d-y?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. He is outside in the hall right now?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes, sir; he is.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you recognize the handwriting?
Mr. HARDIN. I am not too familiar with it, really.
Mr. HUBERT. That is all right. He will identify it.
Mr. HARDIN. Well----
Mr. HUBERT. I show you a document marked previously for identification
as 5126, and ask you to identify that document.
Mr. HARDIN. This is a copy of the call sheet taken from the police
dispatcher’s tape.
Mr. HUBERT. Whose handwriting appears on that sheet?
Mr. HARDIN. This is my handwriting on this one.
Mr. HUBERT. As I see it, that is sort of a reconstruction, or amendment
of the first document, 5125, is that correct?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes, sir; it is.
