Mrs. Cason. [spelling] F-a-r-r. And he was in charge on that Sunday because we did not have a sergeant there, and he had asked to speak to Farr, and I told him Officer Farr was working channel 2, which is a separate channel that we have, and so he told me, he said, “They just shot Oswald,” or “Somebody just shot Oswald,” and I told him, “Okay.” And placed him on hold and told Farr that he had a red light on 531, and I proceeded to call the ambulance service on the hot line.
Mr. Hubert. Please describe the hot line?
Mrs. Cason. The hot line is a straight line from our dispatcher office to the ambulance company which requires no dialing. You just lift it up and it rings from our office to theirs.
Mr. Hubert. So, then, immediately upon getting this information from Slack you passed it on to Farr by word of mouth?
Mrs. Cason. I did not tell Officer Farr that Oswald had just been shot. I felt it was more important to get the ambulance and in time they would know soon enough. I told them he had a red light, and I knew Slack would tell him what happened in the basement.
Mr. Hubert. So then you flipped the button for the hot line at O’Neal Funeral Home?
Mrs. Cason. Yes; I did.
Mr. Hubert. Did you get it immediately?
Mrs. Cason. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. What happened then?
