(Testimony of John L. Daniels)

Mr. Daniels.
Yes, auto park right across. from Western Union.
Mr. Hubert.
That is Main Street?
Mr. Daniels.
Main Street, 2335 Main.
Mr. Hubert.
Is there another parking lot next to yours?
Mr. Daniels.
The one just--used to be the same lot, but divided it up.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know a man by the name of Theodore Jackson?
Mr. Daniels.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Who is he?
Mr. Daniels.
He is the colored fellow working in the next block to me. On Sunday our lots work together.
Mr. Hubert.
What time did you go on duty at the parking lot, Mr. Daniels, on November 24?
Mr. Daniels.
November 24?
Mr. Hubert.
That was the day that Oswald was- shot in the Jail.
Mr. Daniels.
It was somewhere around, I imagine it was after the shot was made when I went on, and went down in the city hall, I imagine it was about----
Mr. Hubert.
Well, I am talking about the time you went to work.
Mr. Daniels.
Time I went to work?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes.
Mr. Daniels.
Somewhere around 12 o'clock, I believe it was. I never did pay much attention to the time.
Mr. Hubert.
Where did you come from when you went to work?
Mr. Daniels.
I came from home.
Mr. Hubert.
You hadn't been hanging around the Main Street prior to that, had you?
Mr. Daniels.
No; I hadn't been hanging around there.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, what time----
Mr. Daniels.
I lived about a street--I was staying at the Pacific Hotel, and had the radio on and heard about the shooting and got up and come on out of there then, about 2 blocks from there.
Mr. Hubert.
In other words you were in your home at the Pacific Hotel on Pacific Avenue, Pacific Street and turned the radio on and heard the shooting?
Mr. Daniels.
That's right.
Mr. Hubert.
Then you came down to the parking lot?
Mr. Daniels.
Ambulance came by blowing, and I got up and came on down to the parking lot then.
Mr. Hubert.
You saw the ambulance go by?
Mr. Daniels.
I heard it blowing.
Mr. Hubert.
Oh, I see.
Mr. Daniels.
They had the sirens blowing was all.
Mr. Hubert.
I see. Do you know Mr. Jack Ruby?
Mr. Daniels.
No, sir; I don't know him.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know anything about the parking of his car on Mr. Norton's lot?
Mr. Daniels.
No, sir; car was parked next lot to it.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you see it?
Mr. Daniels.
Yes; I seen the car.
Mr. Hubert.
How did you know it was Mr. Ruby's car?
Mr. Daniels.
Well, detectives come down and picked up the car. Me and this Jackson was there together and he put a ticket on the car so me and him went over to the car and he got a dime to call--to bring the key down there to unlock the car.
Mr. Hubert.
Who did that?
Mr. Daniels.
One of the detectives brought that letter you all sent to me.
Mr. Hubert.
He got a key, you say?
Mr. Daniels.
He called back to the city hall for them to bring Jack Ruby's key down. They searched the car good. The car was open. He had a dog laying in the car.
Mr. Hubert.
The windows were open?
Mr. Daniels.
One was cracked, and didn't lock the car. The trunk was locked.
Mr. Hubert.
The trunk was locked but the doors of the car were not locked and there was a little crack in the window for air, I suppose, for the dog?
