Mr. Dean. To check on the condition of Oswald. I knew that—well, it was just reaction for me to go out there, because I knew that I would probably be needed out there.
Mr. Griffin. Did you check in with Captain Talbert before you went out?
Mr. Dean. No, sir; I did check out with the dispatcher on the radio, that I was en route to Parkland Hospital.
Mr. Griffin. How about Lieutenant Pierce, did you check out with him?
Mr. Dean. I think when I got to Parkland Hospital I called him and advised him that I would be at Parkland until I notified him.
Mr. Griffin. When you got out to Parkland Hospital and before you saw Mrs. Oswald, Marguerite Oswald, did you talk with any police officers?
Mr. Dean. At Parkland?
Mr. Griffin. Yes.
Mr. Dean. Well, I am sure that I talked to some. Nothing specific or no orders given, no assignments or anything. I was, more than anything, I was answering questions as to what happened in the basement, from everyone, even policemen and everyone else.
Mr. Griffin. And did you tell them about the conversation you had with Ruby?
