Mr. Ball. But you were called back to duty?
Mr. Hicks. Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball. What time of day?
Mr. Hicks. I had—my wife, I believe it was called me from her work. She had heard of the happening and knowing that I was off, of course, she figured I would be called, so when she called me, I called in to Lieutenant Knight, who is also in the identification bureau, and told him that I was getting ready and if they needed me to report, to call me and tell me where to go to, and so he did. Oh, I don't know exactly how long it had taken place and the exact time that he did call me. The time right there, I can't recall. I know I did get to work somewhere around 3.
Mr. Ball. Where did you go to work, at the crime lab?
Mr. Hicks. No, sir; they told me to report directly to Elm and Houston.
Mr. Ball. Did you go down there?
Mr. Hicks. Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball. When you went down there what did you find?
Mr. Hicks. Lieutenant Day—well, first I saw Chief Lumpkin, who told me Lieutenant Day was there in the building and to report to him on the sixth floor, I believe it was and he and Detective Studebaker, I believe it was were the two that were still on that particular floor.
