DPD Tapes and a 6 Minute Discrepancy

[Bill Brown]

Where is the timecard?

George and Patricia Nash saw it and they said the call was logged at 1:18.

Learn the case.

A lot of people said they saw a lot of things.  Where's the card?

Are you going to join Weidmann and state as a fact that the Nashes did NOT see the time card?

I don't know what the Nashes saw, but I do know anyone can claim that they saw anything.

[Martin Weidmann]

I don't know what the Nashes saw, but I do know anyone can claim that they saw anything.

Bill Brown merely claims that the Nashes saw the time stamped card,

George and Patricia Nash saw it and they said the call was logged at 1:18.

but he can not provide a shred of evidence for that claim, which is why he is now trying to shift the burden of proof by asking you that silly question.

This is what the Nashes actually said in their 1964 article "The other witnesses";

The Dudley M. Hughes Funeral Home is the central ambulance dispatching point for southern Dallas. It either handles calls directly or calls other funeral homes in the system that cover other areas. Dudley M. Hughes Jr., the dispatcher, took the call from the police. He filled out an ambulance call slip with the code “3-19” (which means emergency shooting) and the address, “501 East 10th Street.” He put the slip into the time clock and stamped it 1:18 p.m., November 22, in the space marked “Time Called.”

Nowhere do they say that they saw the actual card, when they interviewed Dudley M. Hughes Jr.

I have asked Bill Brown in the past what makes him think the Nashes did actually see the card, but all I got as a "reply" is that - according to Brown - a lot more source material about George and Patricia Nash can be found on line. Yet, none of my searches found any other material and Brown – of course – failed to produce any links either.

A long time ago I asked Brown to produce the actual time card and he failed to do that also, so history seems to be repeating itself.

By this standard, we shouldn't believe Markham, Bowley, Davenport, your mom, or just about
anyone else. You've come up with the most ridiculous argument I've seen all week.

Consider the phrase 'He put the slip into the time clock and stamped it 1:18 p.m., November 22, in the space marked “Time Called.”' Calling out a specific field on the card, to the point of putting that field's name in quotation marks, strongly implies that the Nashes saw the actual card and are describing what they saw on it. Ditto for the fact that they also explicitly quoted the location ("501 East 10th Street") and call code ("3-19").

Then there is this sentence in the next paragraph: "The record shows that Butler called in to the funeral home at 1:26 p.m. to say he had reached the hospital." "The record" indicates that the Nashes  saw it written down. 1:26 ambulance arrival isn't anywhere in the DPD records that I know of. Nor does it appear in the Channel One recordings, so the only record left was what Dudley Hughes kept. And the obvious place that would appear in on the call sheet.
