Mr. Hubert. So you do not recall any remarks made by anyone else of a spontaneous nature?
Mr. Cabell. No; I don't.
Mr. Hubert. Well, what did you do after the shots were fired and the Presidential car and the vice presidential car went on?
Mr. Cabell. Then we just followed and told the driver to follow them.
Mr. Hubert. You went on then to the——
Mr. Cabell. We went on to the hospital. We could not tell whether they were just going back to the airport or going toward the hospital. Now there was a question raised among us as to where we were headed.
Mr. Hubert. You didn't in fact know who had been hit, I take it?
Mr. Cabell. No; we couldn't tell. We could tell, of course, there was confusion in the presidential car—activity. The Secret Service men ran to that car. From out of nowhere appeared one Secret Service man with a submachine gun. His attention seemed to be focused up toward the building. One of the motorcycle officers and the escort pulled his motorcycle over to the side and jumped off with his drawn handgun and ran up the slope toward the building, toward the School Book Depository. I do not recall any other shots being fired than the three which I mentioned.
Mr. Hubert. I take it also that you got to the hospital very shortly after the Presidential car did?
Mr. Cabell. Of course, when we turned off of Stemmons Expressway, we knew then that we were headed toward Parkland. Otherwise, we would have proceeded on Stemmons to Mockingbird Lane, which would have been the direct route to the airport.
