Mr. Sims. Yes, sir; I got it here—about 12:58—about 1 o'clock.
Mr. Ball. The radio log of that day at 12:36 shows that the following was broadcast from the police radio log: "The witness says shots came from the fifth floor of the Texas Book Depository Store at Houston and Elm. I have him with me now and we are sealing off the building."
Do you think you heard that?
Mr. Sims. No, sir; I wouldn't have heard that. We didn't hear about the shooting until 12:40, but we had to have heard something or we wouldn't have went directly to the Book Store like we did.
Mr. Ball. At 12:45, there was a broadcast that stated: "All the information we have received indicates it did come from the fifth floor of that building."
"Which building?"
"The Texas Depository Building at Elm and Houston."
Do you know whether you could have heard that?
Mr. Sims. Well, our radio was on—I could have heard, that; yes, sir. We got to the hospital, I guess, about that time and we did have our radio on.
Mr. Ball. When you went in the front door, who was with you?
