Mr. Ball. Do you usually work with another detective?

Mr. Dhority. Yes. H. H. Blessing.

Mr. Ball. Was he on duty that day with you?

Mr. Dhority. I don't believe so. He got shot last December and has been in pretty bad shape. He just works sometimes and I don't know whether he was there that day.

Mr. Ball. Did you work with anybody that day, November 22, after you came to work?

Mr. Dhority. I worked part of the day with C. W. Brown; he's a patrolman temporarily assigned to that bureau.

Mr. Ball. What is the first thing you did that day after you came to work?

Mr. Dhority. I started answering telephones, I believe; they were all ringing.

Mr. Ball. And did you later see Lee Oswald?

Mr. Dhority. Yes.
