United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HULSE. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. So, as soon as you have done what you said you did, you
slip it into a stamp machine and it automatically stamps the time?
Mr. HULSE. That’s correct.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I notice that there is an initial in the column right
next to the figure “118,” “MJ,” which Mrs. Cason advises was put there
by her. Do you know who that refers to?
Mr. HULSE. Yes, sir; the other officer that was working on the radio
with me. In this--“MJ” M. J. Jackson, his initials, M. J.
Mr. HUBERT. But, as a matter of fact you handled it?
Mr. HULSE. Yes; I actually handled the dispatching of the call and the
ambulance.
Mr. HUBERT. Why didn’t he do it?
Mr. HULSE. Well, at that time Mr. Jackson was fairly new to the radio
dispatcher’s office and everything was in such a turmoil there I
decided that I would handle all transmissions made on the radio, seeing
that he was new to the office and didn’t know quite how to handle the
calls under the conditions.
Mr. HUBERT. And in any case, you distinctly remember handling the call
which is reflected by this Exhibit 5135?
Mr. HULSE. Yes; I do.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, Officer Hulse, we had an interview now, you and I, did
we not, immediately before the beginning of this deposition?
Mr. HULSE. Yes; we did.
Mr. HUBERT. Can you recall anything that was covered in that interview
which has not been covered in this deposition?
Mr. HULSE. No; I couldn’t. I believe all has been covered.
Mr. HUBERT. Can you think of any inconsistencies between what was
developed in the course of the interview and what was developed in the
course of the deposition?
Mr. HULSE. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Have you any other comments that you would like to make
concerning this matter of any nature whatsoever?
Mr. HULSE. No, sir; I have told everything I know about it.
Mr. HUBERT. Thank you, sir.
TESTIMONY OF IRA JEFFERSON “JACK” BEERS, JR.
The testimony of Ira Jefferson “Jack” Beers, Jr., was taken at 9:15
a.m., on April 14, 1964, in the office of the U.S. attorney, 301 Post
Office Building, Bryan and Ervay Streets, Dallas, Tex., by Mr. Burt W.
Griffin, assistant counsel of the President’s Commission.
Mr. GRIFFIN. First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Burt
Griffin, and I am with the advisory staff of the General Counsel
staff of the President’s Commission investigating the Assassination
of President Kennedy. I want to tell you a little bit about the
Commission, what we are authorized to do and so forth before we
actually get into the deposition. The Commission was set up pursuant
to Executive order of President Johnson on November 30, 1963, and also
pursuant to a joint resolution of Congress which was enacted about the
same time. Under these two documents, the Executive order and the joint
resolution, the Commission has been authorized to promulgate certain
rules and regulations, and under those rules and regulations I have
been specifically designated to take your sworn deposition.
