Mr. Hubert. Was his phone out of order?
Captain Talbert. I don't know, sir, but by all appearances, it was out of order. I think that latter item I was speaking of was around the entire neighborhood, almost. It is quite loud, even though a phone may be off the hook.
Mr. Hubert. What did you say to the chief?
Captain Talbert. I repeated the conversation that Frazier had told me that the sheriff had told him, and also Mr. Newsom had told him about two calls received by the FBI office during the night. Both by men speaking in a calm voice and both conveyed the same message that before Oswald reached the county jail "A hundred of us will see that he is dead." And the request by Sheriff Decker, and Mr. Newsom, that he be transferred immediately.
Mr. Hubert. It was your understanding that Newsom had received a message twice?
Captain Talbert. His office. Not Mr. Newsom personally. His office.
Mr. Hubert. I see. Do you know whether any such message had also been received by the sheriff's office independently?
Captain Talbert. No, sir; I don't.
Mr. Hubert. What time did you convey that information?
Captain Talbert. It was approximately 6:30, my conversation with Chief Curry.
