Quote:Milo - have you been able to find out in the DPD statements who went to Methodist?
I'm finding nothing in the statements, but a familiar name is on record as witnessing the ambulance's arrival at Methodist and showing up at the murder scene thereafter. Surprisingly consistent statements from Hill appear in the radio log and his WC testimony --
Radio (1:26):
Dispatcher Have you been to the scene?
Dispatcher Have you been to the scene?
550/2 The officer was already gone when I got there. He was driving car number 10.
Dispatcher Do you know what ambulance took him? We had three going.
550/2 (Sgt. G.L. Hill) No. Dudley Hughes passed in front of me going to Beckley. He looked like he might have had him.
WC: We crossed the Commerce Street viaduct and turned, made a right turn to go under the viaduct on North Beckley to go up to 10th Street. As we passed, just before we got to Colorado on Beckley, an ambulance with a police car behind it passed us en route to Methodist Hospital.
It puts him in the right places at the right time, and there is no reason to believe his yarn about tooling around the block in Poe's car. It's a short trip to Methodist where he could have given the service revolver to a uniformed officer.
At this point I have no explanation as to why he would have kept this secret.
