Why was the Dallas Police Department (DPD) Chief of Police’s phone off the hook?
This is an important question as we know from the evidence in the twenty-six volumes death threats were coming in against Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO). This information was originally received by the FBI and they in turn informed both the DPD and Sheriff’s Office about this. We see evidence of Chief Curry’s phone being off the hook at this vital time in Talbert Exhibit 5068. Captain Cecil Talbert came to work on 11/24/63 at 6:00 a.m. and received the warning from the FBI, he then tried to contact Chief Curry. Here is what happened.

…he was informed by Captain W.B. Frazier that the Dallas FBI office and Sheriff Bill Decker had called and informed that the FBI had received an anonymous call that Lee Harvey Oswald would be KILLED this date. Captain Frazier told him that he had attempted to contact Chief Curry but was unable to do so. Talbert attempted to contact Chief Curry by telephone and the telephone line was OUT OF ORDER. He directed a squad to Chief Curry’s home with instructions for Chief Curry to call him. At about 6:30 AM Chief Curry CALLED and he relayed the message to the Chief. (Emphasis added) (Talbert Ex. 5068)

We see here Chief Curry had his phone out of order due to having it OFF THE HOOK at this key time! Why? Why would he do this at a very important time (LHO would be transferred later in the morning and this really should have been given to Sheriff Decker anyway)? We have corroboration that a threat came in that morning as Assistant Chief Batchelor said this in his WC testimony.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you discuss with Chief Stevenson anywhere along the way upstairs this phone call which you received from Mr. Talbert earlier in the morning?
Chief BATCHELOR. Yes; I think I mentioned that to him.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you remember anything about that conversation?
Chief BATCHELOR. Not anything especially.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall whether he knew or Stevenson knew at the time you saw him down in the basement that there had been such a threat?
Chief BATCHELOR. I believe he did. I think someone from one of his bureaus had called him, if I remember right. It was rather common knowledge that a call like that had been received.
It was “common knowledge” that a threat had been received, but Chief Curry had his phone off the hook! He was also responsible for the transfer according to Captain Fritz too. Here is what I posted earlier in this series about this issue.
Mr. BALL. Did you consider transferring him at night?
Mr. FRITZ. At night?
Mr. BALL. Yes.
Mr. FRITZ. During the night on Saturday night, I had a call at my home from uniformed captain, Captain Frazier, I believe is his name, he called me out at home and told me they had had some threats and he had to transfer Oswald. And I said, well, I don't know. I said there has been no security setup, and the chief having something to do with this transfer and you had better call him, because---so he told me he would.
He has “something to do with the transfer”, and one would assume with the security setup, why was his phone off the hook? Finally, as posted earlier in this series, even the WC admitted these threats. On page 209 of the WC Report you will read this:

During the night, between 2:30 and 3 a.m., the local office of the FBI and the Sheriff’s office received telephone calls from an unidentified man who warned that a committee had decided “to kill the man who had killed the President.” Shortly after, an FBI agent notified the Dallas police of the anonymous threat. The Police department and ultimately Chief Curry were informed of both threats. (WCR, p. 209)

Can any WC defender answer this question or explain what he was doing at this critical time in leaving his phone off the hook?
