Mr. Rankin. Did he say what it was?
Mr. Curry. He didn't come back in at that time. At 1:08 p.m. they called him again.
Mr. Rankin. Did he respond?
Mr. Curry. It is at 12:54. The dispatcher said "78" and he responded, he said, "You are in the Oak Cliff area, are you not?"
Seventy-eight responded and said, "Lancaster and 8," which would be in the central section of Oak Cliff.
The dispatcher said, "You will be at large for any emergency that comes in."
And he responded, "10-4," which means message received. And he would follow those instructions.
Mr. Rankin. Do you have an item there of a broadcast of a person who murdered Tippit?
Mr. Curry. We have apparently—a citizen came in on the radio and he said, "Somebody shot a police officer at 404 10th Street." Someone in the background said 78, squad 78, car No. 10. And the citizen said, "You get that?" and the dispatcher said, "78."
And there was no response and the citizen said, "Hello, police operator, did you get that?" Some other unknown voice came in and said, "510 East Jefferson."
