Mr. Hubert. All right, then go on.
Mr. Stevenson. After we reached Love Field, the Secret Service men loaded the casket onto the President's plane. They told us that they had called Judge Sarah T. Hughes to administer the oath of office to President Johnson.
She arrived in a short time. We remained at Love Field until she administered the oath and the plane was airborne. After the President's plane was airborne, we left and came back to the city hall. We arrived back at the city hall around 4 o'clock, I would say.
Mr. Hubert. When you say city hall, do you mean police department?
Mr. Stevenson. Police Courts Building, our headquarters.
Mr. Hubert. For the record, I wish you would describe the relationship between what is the police building and the municipal building of the city hall.
Mr. Stevenson. The Police and Courts Building is what was, until a few years ago, the city hall proper. A new building was constructed adjacent to this building and adjoining it just east of the Police and Courts Building.
It is now ordinarily referred to as the city hall, the building which is on the corner of Main, Harwood and Commerce, which is the old city hall, now known as the Police and Courts Building, and houses the jail, the police department, and one or two offices of our city government. But primarily it is referred to, or should be referred to as the Police and Courts Building.
Mr. Hubert. All right. Now, go on. So you arrived back at the police department.
Mr. Stevenson. We arrived back at the office about 4 o'clock, or maybe a few minutes later. I went directly to the homicide bureau. Chief Batchelor went to the administrative offices.
