Mr. MAYO. Dallas region.
Mr. HUBERT. How long have you been so employed by Sears Roebuck?
Mr. MAYO. Thirty-five years.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, you are also, as I understand, a member of the reserve
on the Dallas Police Force?
Mr. MAYO. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. How long have you been with the reserve?
Mr. MAYO. Six years.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, did you have occasion to be called to duty on November
24, 1963, the Sunday after the President was shot?
Mr. MAYO. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Had you been on duty prior to that Sunday?
Mr. MAYO. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, I want to concern ourselves solely with the Sunday,
right now.
Mr. MAYO. No; not on Sunday, not until I was called at 9 o'clock.
Mr. HUBERT. Yes; at 9 o'clock, you did get a call to come on duty?
Mr. MAYO. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Who was it from, do you remember?
Mr. MAYO. I think it was Sergeant Maxey.
Mr. HUBERT. Did he ask you to notify any other reservists?
Mr. MAYO. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Who were they, do you remember?
Mr. MAYO. He asked me to call the reservists in my squad, which
consists of about six, seven people.
Mr. HUBERT. You are a lieutenant, aren't you?
Mr. MAYO. I'm a sergeant.
Mr. HUBERT. And you did call?
Mr. MAYO. I called the men, but none of them showed up. They had all
gone to church, or was fixing to go to church. I contacted a lot of
them and they were leaving to go to Sunday school and they had other
plans and none of them could make it.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know a man by the name of Holly?
Mr. MAYO. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you get in touch with him?
Mr. MAYO. I got in touch with him and he said he would come down as
soon as he got loose. I didn't see him at the city hall, though.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you speak to him?
Mr. MAYO. I called him on the phone.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you tell him what time he should get down there or what
time the transfer was going to be?
Mr. MAYO. I told him he should try to be there between 10 and 10:30.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you tell him what time the transfer was going to be, or
that you thought it was going to be, or anything of that sort?
Mr. MAYO. I told him it might be sometime between 10 and noon. I didn't
know for sure.
Mr. HUBERT. You didn't see him any more after that?
Mr. MAYO. I didn't see him down at the city hall.
Mr. HUBERT. What time did you get to the city hall?
Mr. MAYO. I got there about 9:45.
Mr. HUBERT. Where were you stationed?
Mr. MAYO. I was stationed right here, at Commerce Street, guarding this
entrance to the basement.
Mr. HUBERT. Let the record show that the witness is pointing to the
mockup, and he points to the sidewalk area in front of the Commerce
Street exit----
Mr. MAYO. That's right.
Mr. HUBERT. Of the police department. How long did you stay there, sir?
Mr. MAYO. I was there from about 10:15 until about 11:30.
