Warren Commission (13 of 26): Hearings Vol. XIII (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HARDIN. I am not sure. And then there was a doctor riding in the
seat in the back, there, and then my assistant was in the front seat.
Mr. HUBERT. How did you know the man was a doctor?
Mr. HARDIN. I have seen him at Parkland Hospital several times and city
hall, too, and recognized him as being a doctor.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know his name?
Mr. HARDIN. Sir?
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know his name?
Mr. HARDIN. No, sir; I don’t know his name. He was in here just before
us.
Mr. HUBERT. Let the record show that Dr. Fred Bieberdorf was in the
hall with the witness, Mr. Hardin, and appeared in this room where this
deposition is being taken just before Mr. Hardin came in. All right.
Mr. HARDIN. And we got him in the car, or ambulance, they drove the
armored truck on out of the basement on the Commerce Street side, and
we went out behind the truck. Of course, the truck was there when we
left, and then went east on Commerce to the expressway, and north on
the expressway to Elm and then west on Elm to Harwood and north on
Harwood to Harry Hines, and north on Hines to Parkland.
Mr. HUBERT. And what happened when you got to Parkland?
Mr. HARDIN. When we got to Parkland we went in the emergency entrance,
pulled around there, backed up to the dock. Of course, it was pretty
crowded there, too. People had, I guess, saw the thing on television
and came out there to see us when we came in with him, and as soon as
we got--took him out of the car, took him into the emergency room--we
got to the hall of the emergency room itself, and they put him on one
of their tables from our carriage, and we cleared from the call, but
there was a few minutes before we cleared.
We were waiting in the hall because it was so crowded that we couldn’t
get through, so we waited in the hall and I imagine it was about an
hour, from the time we got the call before the time we cleared. I
believe it was an hour and 9 minutes, if I am not mistaken.
Mr. HUBERT. Would it help you if you looked at Exhibit No. 5127, to
determine the time of the call?
Mr. HARDIN. Well----
Mr. HUBERT. As far as the time of the clearance of the call?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes, sir; the call was at 11:21, and cleared at 12:30, and
I believe it took 9 minutes from the time we got the call on the air
until we were at Parkland with him.
Mr. HUBERT. How did you determine that the call came in at 11:21?
Mr. HARDIN. That is the time that I believe the call came into our
office.
Mr. HUBERT. That is what you have on Exhibit 5127?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. What I mean by that is that Exhibit 5127 was prepared in
your handwriting, but insofar as that time is concerned it was taken
off Exhibit 5125, was it not?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes, sir; that’s correct.
Mr. HUBERT. There is no mechanism there in the ambulance itself which
fixes the time of a call?
Mr. HARDIN. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. No timeclock or anything?
Mr. HARDIN. No, sir.
