Mr. Hubert.

What time was your school scheduled to begin?

Mr. Hall.

9:50.

Mr. Hubert.

9:50?

Mr. Hall.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Then you were going in at approximately 5 minutes before that?

Mr. Hall.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Had you actually reached the class yet?

Mr. Hall.

Yes, sir; I was in the classroom itself.

Mr. Hubert.

But the class had not yet begun?

Mr. Hall.

That's right.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you normally start on time?

Mr. Hall.

Normally; yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

This call came about how long before you would normally have started?

Mr. Hall.

Five minutes.

Mr. Hubert.

Who was the call from, did you say?

Mr. Hall.

Mr. Fleming.

Mr. Hubert.

What is his first name?

Mr. Hall.

Harold.

Mr. Hubert.

What was the nature of the call?

Mr. Hall.

We were asked to provide a truck for Chief Batchelor as soon as possible.

Mr. Hubert.

That is Fleming told you that on the phone, is that correct?

Mr. Hall.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he tell you what the purpose for the use of the car would be?

Mr. Hall.

Of this I am not real certain, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

How long was your telephone conversation with Fleming?

Mr. Hall.

Approximately a minute.

Mr. Hubert.

What did you do then?

Mr. Hall.

I sat for a moment trying to reconstruct the previous evenings arrangement to remember who would have keys to the terminal, since there are only two sets in existence. The most logical choice seemed to be Ed Dietrich and Don Goin. I called Ed Dietrich's home. He had just gone down to the corner. So I called Don Goin's home and told him to meet me down at the terminal.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you tell him what you wanted to meet him about?

Mr. Hall.

I am not positive; sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Did he have a set of keys?

Mr. Hall.

Yes, sir; he would have come anyway. It is fairly usual to call one of our people and say, "I will meet you at the terminal in a few minutes, we have a problem."

Mr. Hubert.

How long did you speak to Goin?

Mr. Hall.

Approximately a minute. Then I called Ed Dietrich's home back and asked him to join us.

Mr. Hubert.

You got him on the second time?

Mr. Hall.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

About what time was that?

Mr. Hall.

Approximately 10 o'clock.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you then immediately leave the church?

Mr. Hall.

I think I called Harold Fleming back, and I assured him that we could produce and agreed to meet down at the terminal. When his call first came in, there was a little bit of doubt in my mind that I could reach anybody on a moment's notice, afraid that every man we have would be out of pocket as of Sunday morning.

Mr. Hubert.

So that after speaking to Dietrich, you then made a third phone call?

Mr. Hall.

I talked to Fleming twice; yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

About what time did you leave the church then?

Mr. Hall.

There is a period of time of 30 minutes that I am not real positive. The time that the first call came in at 9:45--I feel reasonably sure that I was down at the terminal by 10:30. Exactly the time I left the church would be close to 10:05, because my wife had just started her Sunday school class.
