Captain Talbert. On page 5, of the same exhibit, quote——
Mr. Hubert. First, top paragraph?
Captain Talbert. The top paragraph quote, "Captain Talbert identified the occupants of this car as being Lieutenant Pierce, who was at that time driving, Sgt. J. A. Putnam who was in the right front seat, and Sgt. B. J. Maxey, he was in the left rear seat. He was later informed by Lieutenant Pierce that it was approximately 5 minutes prior to the shooting of Oswald that they had proceeded from the basement, left the city hall." That this seems to indicate the time element from the vehicle leaving the basement, and the time that Oswald was shot was indicated to me as being 5 minutes. That was incorrect and I believe now that the indication was that it was approximately 5 minutes from the time Lieutenant Pierce had left the homicide office until the time Oswald was shot.
Mr. Hubert. In other words, your recollection is now that what Pierce told you later was that 5 minutes elapsed from the time of the shooting and the time prior thereto, that he had left the CID office?
Captain Talbert. That's it.
Mr. Hubert. Whereas, the statement that you have just read and quoted would indicate that the 5 minutes was between the time of leaving the basement and the shooting?
Captain Talbert. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert. And you think that it was a mistake, that you did not intend to convey that idea of what Pierce told you?
Captain Talbert. That's quite correct. I didn't intend to convey that idea.
Mr. Hubert. That, in fact, is your recollection now of what Lieutenant Pierce told you?
