Mr. HUBERT. She can't--you have to say something, because the reporter
can't record silence.
Mr. SLACK. Yes, sir; I forget.
Mr. HUBERT. You didn't see the shooting, as I understand it?
Mr. SLACK. No, sir; I saw the shuffle out there.
Mr. HUBERT. And then they brought Ruby and Oswald in?
Mr. SLACK. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Did either Ruby or Oswald say anything that you, yourself
heard?
Mr. SLACK. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you notice the time that they brought them in? Who came
in first?
Mr. SLACK. I don't know, sir. Like I say, the lieutenant told me to
call the doctor, and, of course, my back end was turned a few seconds.
Mr. HUBERT. When you say, "lieutenant," I believe you are referring to
Lieutenant Wiggins?
Mr. SLACK. Wiggins; yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. So, you called the dispatcher and told him what you said
you told him, and what happened next, to your recollection?
Mr. SLACK. Well, it was just about over with then except the ambulance
did come in, and, of course, that was a little confusion around there.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know anything about the times of, say the movement
of Ruby up in the elevator to the jail, or the time when the ambulance
arrived and the time when it left with Oswald?
Mr. SLACK. No, sir; not the exact time; no, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. No record was made on any of that?
Mr. SLACK. Not that I know of. Not in our office.
Mr. HUBERT. What is the form called that you filled in with your own
hand about the time of movement? Does that have a number?
Mr. SLACK. We call it a booking card.
Mr. HUBERT. Booking card?
Mr. SLACK. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. And I think you testified that yesterday you looked at it
to refresh your memory and it is in your handwriting, and it states
11:20?
Mr. SLACK. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Apparently sometime ago, let's say on December 12, you were
interviewed by the FBI, and at that time you stated it was between
11:25 and 11:30 that Oswald was brought down. Can you assist us in
explaining this discrepancy between the two times? Do you remember that
interview?
Mr. SLACK. Yes, sir; I remember the interview; yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Edmond Hardin and Paul Scott, and yourself?
Mr. SLACK. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you recall telling them it was 11:25?
Mr. SLACK. No, sir; I don't.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you have any recollection now about it, or are you
relying upon what you saw on the records yesterday when you looked at
it?
Mr. SLACK. That would be the way I would have to go on it, sir, would
be the records there.
Mr. HUBERT. You are satisfied that the record which is normally made
extemporaneously with the act is really more accurate than your present
memory right now?
Mr. SLACK. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Or would have been more accurate actually than your
statement to the FBI agent if, in fact, you did say that?
Mr. SLACK. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. I would like you to just read these two documents. The one,
the FBI report, and the other, the letter. Have you had occasion to
read the two documents I have handed you, sir?
Mr. SLACK. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Let me mark them then for identification.
