Mr. Hubert. All right; go on.
Mr. Curry. I served in that capacity until Chief Hansson resigned, and at that time I was appointed chief of police. I was appointed acting chief of police in December and when his name was removed from the rolls in January 1960, I was appointed chief of police.
Mr. Hubert. He resigned voluntarily?
Mr. Curry. Yes; he did.
Mr. Hubert. Was it because of old age?
Mr. Curry. I don't know exactly why he resigned. He left us to go as executive secretary of the Citizens Traffic Commission here in Dallas, and he served in that capacity for some year or so and resigned from that capacity, and then he went as chief of the Mesquite Police Department and remained there a year or two and at the present time is in an advisory capacity at Richardson, Tex.
Mr. Hubert. Well, you were second in command at the time you were appointed chief of police?
Mr. Curry. That's true.
Mr. Hubert. And you had been actually for some time?
Mr. Curry. About 7 years.
