Mr. Hill.

Within, I would say seconds--this is just a guess--after we got in the car, I picked up the radio and used the call number 550, car 2, which No. 550 is the number assigned to the personnel office, and because I knew the captain was out in the field and he would be using 550, if he got on the radio.
I used call 550, car 2, and made the statement, "We have suspect and weapon and are en route to the station."

Mr. Belin.

Now I want to hand you what has been marked Sawyer Deposition Exhibit A, which is the transcript of the police log, and I notice that at 1:52 p.m., there was a 550-2-531, with the notation, "Suspect on shooting of police officer is apprehended en route to the station." Was that----

Mr. Hill.

Well, that would have generally been--that would have been----

Mr. Belin.

Would have been you?

Mr. Hill.

That would have been me.

Mr. Belin.

It is marked "Westbrook-Batchelor." Is that because of the No. 2 on it?

Mr. Hill.

Yes.
Possibly Batchelor's call is 2, and Westbrook's is 550, so apparently they showed Westbrook was talking to Chief Batchelor, which at this point----

Mr. Belin.

Someone else put this handwriting in. That is, "Westbrook-Batchelor," but is that the time that you called

Mr. Hill.

Yes, sir; I don't remember the exact words, but I did get on the radio as soon as we got to the car and it got moving, notifying that we were en route to the station with the suspect. That would have been possibly right.

Mr. Belin.

It goes on to say, "From the Texas Theatre."
And, "caught him on the lower floor of the Texas Theatre after a fight."
Did you say that?

Mr. Hill.

This would have been the dispatcher to me asking the question did we have him in the Texas Theatre. Was that where we arrested him?

Mr. Belin.

That is 531-550-2?

Mr. Hill.

In other words, it is dispatcher to 550 car 2.

Mr. Belin.

All right.

Mr. Hill.

And he was finding out for sure if we had arrested him at the theatre.

Mr. Belin.

Then it goes to 550.

Mr. Hill.

Car 2 would have been my answer to the dispatcher.

Mr. Belin.

It says, "Caught him on the lower floor of the Texas Theatre after a fight." And then 531-2-3.

Mr. Hill.

That would have been the dispatcher talking to----

Mr. Belin.

Someone?

Mr. Hill.

Chief Batchelor and Chief Stevenson.

Mr. Belin.

Two and three?

Mr. Hill.

Then 531 again would have been the dispatcher advising 305, which is a homicide unit that the apprehension had been made.
And then the 550 car 2, to 531 would have been me telling him that we had 223, who was Walker--that is Walker's call number, and 492, which was Carroll, and Lyons' call number in the car with me.
And we later had to make arrangements for somebody to go back and pick up 223 car and take it back.

Mr. Belin.

That last call then was made at 1:53 p.m., in which you advised who was in the car?

Mr. Hill.

With us en route to the station.

Mr. Belin.

And the first one that you made after you got to the car was at 1:52 p.m.?

Mr. Hill.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Now, also turning to Sawyer Deposition Exhibit A, I notice that there is another call on car No. 550-2. Was that you at that time, or not, at 1:40 p.m.?
Would that have been someone else?

Mr. Hill.

That probably is R. D. Stringer.

Mr. Belin.

That is not you, then, even though it has a number 550-2?

Mr. Hill.

Yes; because Stringer quite probably would have been using the same call number, because it is more his than it was mine, really, but I didn't
