(Testimony of Patrick Trevore Dean Resumed)

Mr. Hubert.
And the other part that you told us about was the substance of a phone call?
Mr. Dean.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Right. Okay. Now, if you are going to talk about another document let's get it identified first and get numbers on it. Now, Mr. Dean, you are handing me a document consisting of three pages being apparently a photo-static copy of a letter dated April 8, 1963, addressed to J. E. Curry, Chief of Police. Last page shows "P. Treavor Dean----
Mr. Macmasters.
I believe that is December 8. You said April.
Mr. Hubert.
Oh, 110, no. December S. Couldn't be April 8, we aren't there yet.

"P. Treavor Dean, Sergeant Police Control Division," and in order that it may be identified and that the record may show what we're talking about, I am marking this first page in the right-hand margin, "Dallas, Tex., April 1, 1964. Exhibit 5137, Continuation of Deposition of P. T. Dean," signing my name below that, and the inscription on the second page, placing my initial in the right-hand lower corner and on the third page I am doing the same, and also ask you to sign the pages and initial them as I have done.
Mr. Dean.
All right.
Mr. Hubert.
All right, sir. Now, do you have any comments to make with reference to this Document 5137, which you have handed me?
Mr. Dean.
No, sir; I believe it is self-explanatory.
Mr. Hubert.
Is this one of the documents that
Mr. Dean.
Mr. Griffin asked me would I bring.
Mr. Hubert.
All right, sir. Thank you.
Mr. Dean.
Mr. Griffin also asked me to bring a copy, if I had one, of my original notes that I had taken in the basement that day of my assignments and I have those.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, what day are you speaking of? The 24th?
Mr. Dean.
Yes, sir; November 24.
Mr. Hubert.
November 24.
Mr. Dean.
They are not all--all my assignments are not here. However, the majority of them are.
Mr. Hubert.
When you say your assignments, you mean the people you assigned, or the job you were assigned
Mr. Dean.
The people that I assigned to various locations in the basement.
Mr. Hubert.
I see. Now, do you propose to let me then have that or a photo-static copy of it, or do you propose simply to dictate the information into the record?
Mr. Dean.
Well how about me just dictating it and I will keep ,this?
Mr. Hubert.
All right. Now, if Mr. Griffin's purpose was to find out whether they existed, then perhaps I ought to look at them so I can state I have seen these things myself.
Mr. Dean.
All right, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Therefore, let the record show that as Mr. Dean reads the information he is going to read, I am following him, and if he reads them correctly, I will say nothing. If he reads them incorrectly, or in a way that

I do not understand, I will call it to his attention so that we may get it clear. All right?
Mr. Dean.
My first assignments were made just prior to our searching the basement. They were Officer Vaughn. R. E. Vaughn I assigned to the Main Street ramp, which is the north ramp entering the basement. Officer Patterson, B. G. Patterson to the Commerce Street ramp, which is the exit onto Commerce Street. These men were to be were assigned to the top of these ramps. Officer Brock was assigned to the elevator in the basement. Officer Nelson was assigned in the hall at the jail doors. Well, in---at the Jail window.
Mr. Hubert.
What is that?
Mr. Dean.
This is "Commerce ramp". All right, now, Officer Jez, I assigned him with Patterson at the Commerce Street ramp.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, of course, these notes are not exactly like that. You
