Mr. Hubert. When you got to the hospital, had the President been removed from the car?
Mr. Cabell. He was in the process of being removed; was on the carriage. Another carriage was brought out, and I was there and helped to steady the carriage when the Governor was taken out of the car and placed on the carriage and wheeled in. And I helped escort the carriage on into the hospital into the anteroom and stayed there until the body was removed.
Mr. Hubert. Did you happen to go to the room in which a press conference was held, at which the official announcement was made of the President's death?
Mr. Cabell. I was not in when any official thing—I assumed that the President was dead.
Mr. Hubert. I was trying to get the anteroom or hallway that you described. Where was this with reference to the outside door of the hospital, or the emergency room, or something of that sort?
Mr. Cabell. Well, this was in the emergency section. There is a large anteroom with a glassed-in enclosure where telephones were, and then off from that larger room was a narrow anteroom from which a series of operating rooms connected.
The President was in one of those, and directly across this little hallway then was where Governor Connally was.
Mr. Hubert. Were there any news people in that area?
Mr. Cabell. Yes; I am sure there must have been. I don't recall any whom I recognized personally.
Mr. Hubert. Specifically, do you know a reporter, newspaperman now with Scripps-Howard, by the name of Seth Kantor?
