Mr. Ball. That was what year?
Mr. Rose. It was in 1954.
Mr. Ball. On the 22d of November 1963, were you on duty?
Mr. Rose. I went on duty shortly after the assassination. At the time of the assassination I was not on duty.
Mr. Ball. Did somebody call you and ask you to come on duty?
Mr. Rose. No; I came in just as soon as I heard of the shooting—I came on to work.
Mr. Ball. Where did you go to work?
Mr. Rose. I reported to the homicide office. It's room 317 at the city hall.
Mr. Ball. Where did you go then?
Mr. Rose. There were some people in the office from the Book Depository and we talked to a few of them and then in just a few minutes they brought in Lee Oswald and I talked to him for a few minutes.
