Mr. Hubert.

Was that at the Nichols Bros. parking lot right next door to your lot next door to the Carousel Club

Mr. Hallmark.

That's correct.

Mr. Hubert.

I think you have a man named Huey Reeves, or did. who worked there?

Mr. Hallmark.

Yes; Reeves still works for me. We have lost that location but Reeves still works for me.

Mr. Hubert.

As general manager of this operation are you present at times in the different locations that you operate?

Mr. Hallmark.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

On the 23d, you were, however, at the operation called Nichols Bros.?

Mr. Hallmark.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Which was a part of Allright Parking?

Mr. Hallmark.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

One of the questions I want to ask you is how you fixed the time of seeing him, but I noticed that on page 2, the second paragraph, you indicate that you saw him at about 3:05 p.m. You established that time because you knew that you had a schedule that would require you to leave at 3:15, and that that enabled you to fix the time.

Mr. Hallmark.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

I will ask you to elaborate to this extent--tell us what kind of schedule was that?

Mr. Hallmark.

Well, first of all--of course, I had gone to this location to relieve this Tom Brown who is mentioned there, and just to let him get off and out of the office long enough to stretch his legs and get a cup of coffee, and I allowed myself approximately 30 minutes for that. I wanted to be at a location on Elm Street, 1920 Elm, at just about 3:30.

Mr. Hubert.

Is that one of your parking lots?

Mr. Hallmark.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

And your schedule called for you to be there at 3:30?

Mr. Hallmark.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

To do that you figured you would have to leave at 3:15?

Mr. Hallmark.

I wanted to leave at 3:15 to give myself plenty of time.

Mr. Hubert.

Is it your impression then that you saw Ruby about 10 minutes prior to the time you scheduled yourself to leave?

Mr. Hallmark.

He first entered the garage at probably--at 2:50.

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.

Mr. Hubert.

You were within 2 feet of him when he conversed?

Mr. Hallmark.

Yes .

Mr. Hubert.

Could you hear voices on the other end of the phone?

Mr. Hallmark.

No; I could not.

Mr. Hubert.

But you gathered your information from his remarks that you could clearly hear?
