Quote:Two references to "510 E. Jefferson" show up in CE 705. The first, by an unknown speaker, is heard on the c-span tape. The second is spoken by the dispatcher.This is wrong. My mistake, both references do not show up in CE 705.
From p.26 of the Russ Shearer channel 1 transcript:
898. CITIZEN: Hello, police operator?
899. DIS: Go ahead. Go ahead, citizen using the policeradio.
900. CITIZEN: There's been a shooting out here.
901. DIS: Where's it at?
902. DIS: The citizen using the police radio...
903. CITIZEN: Tenth Street.
904. DIS: What location on Tenth Street?
905. CITIZEN: Between Marsaliis and Beckley. It's a police officer. Somebody shot him. What--what's...404 Tenth Street.
906. DIS: Can you hear me?
907. (Man and woman's voice in background)
908. DIS: 78.
909. CITIZEN: It's a police car, number 10.
910. DIS: 78.
911. DIS: (?)78.
912. CITIZEN: Got that?
913. CITIZEN: Hello, police operator. Did you get that?

A fragment missing from 913 appears in CE 705 (p.408):
Citizen: Hello, police operator, did you get that? (Some other unknown voice came in with "a police officer, 510 E. Jefferson").
The unknown voice is heard in the c-span documentary. Surprisingly, CE 705 lacks the subsequent signal 19 message (Shearer's 914), which adds to the complications. In the first instance (Shearer) it is absurd that the dispatcher would issue a signal 19 with the wrong address, in the second (CE 705) inexplicable that there's no signal 19 at all, only a general broadcast on channel 2 with the correct location.
Two references to "510 East Jefferson" appear in CE 1974, first attributed to the same citizen caller who had given the correct address ("404 Tenth Street"), second to the dispatcher in the subsequent signal 19 transmission.
