Mr. Sims. Yes.

Mr. Ball. And Boyd is your partner?

Mr. Sims. Yes; Boyd is my partner since 1957.

Mr. Ball. And what did you do over there when you got to Parkland?

Mr. Sims. Well, we arrived at Parkland and we saw that Chief Curry was there in front of the hospital, so he directed us back to the Depository Store, down to the Book Store.

Mr. Ball. Tell me this—what did he say—what did he tell you to do?

Mr. Sims. I don't remember the exact words, but he told us to go back to the store at the triple underpass—I don't remember what it was—I couldn't say for sure.

Mr. Ball. Did anybody tell you at that time that there had been anyone in the Texas Depository Book Building that had done the shooting?

Mr. Sims. No, sir; I think at that time it was strictly speculation from where the shot had been fired.

Mr. Ball. He just told you to go back to the scene of the shooting?
