Mr. Day. I went to work for a machinery company there in Dallas for about 9 years before I went with the city.
Mr. Belin. Then you went there directly to the city?
Mr. Day. Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin. Were you on duty on November 22, 1963?
Mr. Day. Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin. Could you describe your activities from about noon on of that day?
Mr. Day. I was in the identification bureau at the city hall. About a quarter of one I was in the basement of the city hall, which is three floors under me—actually I am on the fourth floor—and a rumor swept through there that the President had been shot.
I returned to my office to get on the radio and wait for the developments. Shortly before 1 o'clock I received a call from the police dispatcher to go to 411 Elm Street, Dallas.
Mr. Belin. Is there any particular building at that particular location?
Mr. Day. The Texas School Book Depository, I believe is the correct name on it.
