Mr. Hubert. Did you have any communication with the police department after you got to the lake?
Mr. Crull. Not until Sunday morning.
Mr. Hubert. At what time did you have communication, and in what way on Sunday morning?
Mr. Crull. On Sunday morning, the specific time I can’t say. A member of the marina staff called me, and said that the radio said that Oswald had been shot. So I went to the marina office and used the telephone to call Dallas. I was calling from the marina, Lake Texoma, just out of Denison, Tex. I did call the office and I talked with Chief Stevenson, and he told me, his words were, “I guess you have heard that we have lost our prisoner.”
Then he told me something of the details, although it was then confused.
Mr. Hubert. Was Oswald dead then, or did he tell you so?
Mr. Crull. They didn’t know at that time. I was talking to them at the police department, and Oswald had been moved to Parkland Hospital.
Mr. Hubert. Do you remember what time it was?
Mr. Crull. No; I can’t say. I waited at Texoma then, a short time, until my wife came back to the lake. She had been in to Denison to church, and shortly after noon we came back to Dallas. I came to the city hall after changing my clothes at home, to the police department and talked to our mayor then and found that he had received some telephone threats, and that the police had a guard on him, that he wanted to go to Washington for the President’s funeral, and that there was some concern about it. So I left the city hall and went to the home of the mayor, discussed his trip with him, decided on my own that he should have protection all the way, called Chief Curry, and suggested that he assign Lieutenant Revill, who was the head of the chief intelligence section, to make the trip to Washington with Mayor Cabell.
Over the telephone the chief did this, and I waited at the mayor’s home until Revill went to his house and collected his clothes. Then, in a squad car, I went to the airport to see the mayor off on the airplane.
