Mr. Hubert. Did you talk to him then?
Mr. Hallmark. Well, he drove into the garage before I had ever gone into the office, and he parked at the place we normally let him park his car and got out and said he wanted to use the phone, that he was acting like a reporter. Of course, I granted him permission to walk in our cashier’s office and use the phone.
Mr. Hubert. Did he further identify his activities as “acting like a reporter”?
Mr. Hallmark. No; he didn’t elaborate on that.
Mr. Hubert. I mean, did he convey to you that he was acting like a reporter in any particular matter?
Mr. Hallmark. No.
Mr. Hubert. Did you gather from what he said that he was acting like a reporter in connection with the death of the President?
Mr. Hallmark. I, of course, assumed that. He made the remark to me that, I believe in the process of dialing the first one of two numbers he called, that what happened to the President was terrible, and of course, I agreed, but I got most of my information when I was just immediately adjacent to him as he used the phone there.
Mr. Hubert. You are making a gesture there which indicates about 2 feet?
Mr. Hallmark. Yes; or less.
