Mr. HUBERT. Well, I mean, you all go by it?
Mr. SLACK. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Time is of importance in going in and going out of
prisoners, isn't it?
Mr. SLACK. Yes, sir; it sure is important.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know if the clock is checked at any time to see if
it is?
Mr. SLACK. Not to my knowledge; no, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Have you ever observed it to be wrong?
Mr. SLACK. No, sir; I sure haven't.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, it certainly needs checking procedure to see if it
loses time, or gains, or stops because of the electricity being cut
off, or something of that sort.
Mr. SLACK. Yes. Well, if the time was different from one of our watches
I imagine they would call "Time," sir. Of course, we call "Time," all
the time usually checking the news, you know, so it is checked that way.
Mr. HUBERT. In your opinion, that clock is accurate; right?
Mr. SLACK. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. If it were in error, what would you say would be the
greatest error it could be in?
Mr. SLACK. Well, it couldn't be over a minute or two either way, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. All right, what happened after that?
Mr. SLACK. Well, he went out the door, and then my job there was
to, when the lieutenant told me that they had got in the car or
transportation which was to be used, they then would notify me, and I
was supposed to notify the dispatcher that they were----
Mr. HUBERT. What were you supposed to notify the dispatcher?
Mr. SLACK. That they were on their way.
Mr. HUBERT. Had you received any orders about that?
