Mr. HUBERT. That is your handwriting?
Mr. LANE. Yes, it is.

Mr. HUBERT. That is done before it is stamped by the clock?
Mr. LANE. Before it is stamped.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, once you put it in the tube, that is the end of it, as
far as you are concerned?
Mr. LANE. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know from your experience in your 10 or 12 years
employment with Western Union what happens when it gets upstairs?
Mr. LANE. Yes, sir; it is removed from the tube, put on a sending
position, and sent. This day it was different because of the press.
Press releases coming in immediately, and many of them, so, it was
delayed quite a while. Ordinarily, it is about 20 minutes from here to
Fort Worth.
