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. HUBERT. Now, during all the time you were with Oswald, from the
moment you saw him until the moment he was taken over by the hospital,
did he say anything at all?
Mr. HARDIN. No, sir; not that I could hear.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you remember the name of the patient that you all had
delivered to Veterans Hospital?
Mr. HARDIN. No, sir; I don’t.
Mr. HUBERT. Where had you taken him from?
Mr. HARDIN. Let’s see, I’m trying to think. I don’t--we make so many
calls that I--just hard to remember exactly where I had picked him up.
Mr. HUBERT. Man or woman?
Mr. HARDIN. It was a man. He was----
Mr. HUBERT. Do you remember where you picked him up from?
Mr. HARDIN. No, sir; that is what I was trying to think.
Mr. HUBERT. Nor do you remember his name?
Mr. HARDIN. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. What was the number of the car you were driving?
Mr. HARDIN. 605.
Mr. HUBERT. You don’t normally cruise around, do you?
Mr. HARDIN. No, sir; we don’t. As soon as we clear from a call we go
right back to our station. From the time we received the call until the
time we checked out at the city hall, it was just 2 minutes, according
to their tape.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know what the significance of the code 5, code 6 and
so forth is on Exhibit 5126?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes, sir. Code 5 means en route to the scene; code 6 means
at the location.
Mr. HUBERT. And there is another code on Exhibit 5126, that means time
of departure from the jail?
Mr. HARDIN. En route to the hospital.
Mr. HUBERT. And code 6 on to that would be arrival at the hospital?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. And 13 means is cleared, in the sense is that you were
dismissed about an hour later?
Mr. HARDIN. It all was a little while before that. I don’t believe we
cleared at the hospital. I think I came on back to the funeral home
from the hospital without clearing, because if I am not mistaken, I
believe those phones were all tied up at the hospital and I couldn’t
get to one of them.
Mr. HUBERT. Anyhow, from the time you got the call over the radio until
the time you got to the hospital, was exactly 10 minutes?
Mr. HARDIN. Let’s see. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. And you got to the jail 3 minutes after you got the call,
approximately, right?
Mr. HARDIN. Yes, sir. Well, from the time we got the call until we got
to the jail, and--let’s see, in 2 minutes, because we actually received
the call at 11:21 and the call from the dispatcher to us at 11:22.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, code 5, on Exhibit 5126, code 5 indicating
that 11:22 is the time they put it on the air to you?
Mr. HARDIN. Is the time it was given to us.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, I’ll ask you to look at Exhibit 5125, and tell me if
you recognize the handwriting on the bottom part of that exhibit by the
printed word “oxygen and remarks.”
Mr. HARDIN. No, sir; that handwriting, I don’t recognize.
Mr. HUBERT. All right. Now, is there anything further you want to add
to this?
Mr. HARDIN. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. About all you know about it?
