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. HULSE. I am not positive whether he heard--no, he never did
dispatch 607 at all. It was handled through the telephone by Mrs.
Cason, but he knew that there was an ambulance needed for this shooting
victim, and he told me he would probably be closer.
Mr. HUBERT. Than the other?
Mr. HULSE. Than any ambulance. I’m not sure whether he said that he
would be closer than 607, but he said closer to the basement than any
other ambulance.
Mr. HUBERT. Isn’t it a fact that you had heard ambulance 605, on
channel 1, announcing to his own company just shortly before this all
happened that he was clear and that you remembered that he was clear
and was going back towards his company?
Mr. HULSE. Yes; that is correct. He had just cleared from a previous
call, and was en route back to the company, which I presume he would be
in the immediate downtown vicinity.
Mr. HUBERT. And isn’t that the reason why you then, realized that 605
had just cleared, as you had heard him clear over your radio, and you
realized that he was closer, and that is why you called 605?
Mr. HULSE. Yes; plus that he told me that he would probably be closer
himself, on the radio.
Mr. HUBERT. I would like you to look at Exhibit 5135 and tell us what
portion of that card is written in your hand?
Mr. HULSE. Just the squad number, which I first dispatched to squad
108. He was on another assignment, so I dispatched it then to 118.
Mr. HUBERT. So, that the column, or block which there is printed the
word, “Squad assigned is 108,” and it appears to be scratched out and
immediately above it is “118,” is that right?
Mr. HULSE. Yes; that’s correct.
Mr. HUBERT. All in your handwriting?
Mr. HULSE. All that.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I notice that there is printed on that card by what
apparently is a timeclock two figures, “time dispatched C-11:22,
November 24,” would you explain what you had to do with that, if
anything?
Mr. HULSE. The time dispatched, the time that it is explained here,
11:22, November 24, is the time that I actually dispatched the call to
108, and then finding out he was on another assignment, I dispatched it
also to 118.
Mr. HUBERT. Below there there is a block called, “time clear, 1:49
p.m., November 24,” would you explain that, please?
Mr. HULSE. That is the time that squad 118 cleared from the assignment.
Mr. HUBERT. And they advised you of that and you put the card in the
timeclock, is that right?
Mr. HULSE. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, this Exhibit 5135, was actually prepared by Mrs.
Cason, was it not?
Mr. HULSE. Yes; it was.
Mr. HUBERT. And she would have had it stamped in this box called
“Ambulance ordered,” and “time received,” isn’t that right?
Mr. HULSE. That’s right.
Mr. HUBERT. Then after she made up the card and had it stamped, how did
it get to you?
Mr. HULSE. It is put on a conveyer belt that runs from one room to the
radio room, this conveyor belt, and falls into a box, and I pick it up.
Mr. HUBERT. And your--you have your own timeclock there?
