United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. There is some data missing from 5125, which is supplied on
5126, is that right?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. And you supplied that missing information by inserting the
times, principally, in your own handwriting, which times you obtained
from the police tape relevant to this transaction?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. All of that is in your handwriting?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes, sir; it is.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you state now for the record that those times entered on
Exhibit 5126, were accurate entries as you gathered them and found out
about them from the police log?
Mr. HARDIN. That’s right; yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I show you the document marked 5127, and ask you if
you can identify that.
Mr. HARDIN. That is the ambulance--the call ticket that was made on the
call.
Mr. HUBERT. Whose handwriting is that document written in?
Mr. HARDIN. That is my handwriting.
Mr. HUBERT. When was it written?
Mr. HARDIN. Written at the time of the call, or right after the call
was made.
Mr. HUBERT. And before you answered the call?
Mr. HARDIN. No, sir; after we had already answered the call and cleared.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, after the person had been brought to the
hospital?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. You then executed that form. All right. Now, tell us what
you know about what happened on November 24, 1963.
Mr. HARDIN. We were en route to the funeral home from veterans
hospital, and we were on the Stemmons Freeway, about a quarter of a
mile southwest of Industrial Boulevard, and we received a call that--at
11:21 over the police radio on signal 19, which is a shooting in the
basement of the city hall.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you have radio equipment in your car?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes, sir; we do. It is police radio equipment. Hooked up
directly with the police dispatcher. Just regular police equipment.
Mr. HUBERT. Is it 2-way?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes; 3-way.
Mr. HUBERT. Three-way?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. What is the third way?
Mr. HARDIN. We can talk to the squads and they can talk back to us and
we can talk to the dispatcher and he can talk, and we can talk to the
squad and the dispatcher.
Mr. HUBERT. I see. It is customary for you to have that radio machine
open and operating when you are traveling?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes, sir; it is.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, tell us what you heard.
Mr. HARDIN. Well, a call came out on signal 19, in the basement.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you know what signal 19 meant?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes, sir; it means shooting.
Mr. HUBERT. How is it identified as being a shooting in the basement?
Mr. HARDIN. They gave us the call as signal 19, in the basement. Code
3, which means emergency, red lights and sirens, and at the time I
heard them dispatch three squads, I believe it was, to the basement on
this call, and at that time they dispatched us to the call and----
Mr. HUBERT. Who dispatched you?
