Affidavit of James A. Hosey
TAUNTON, MASS., May 6, 1912.
While engaged in my routine at Taunton, Mass., as a telegrapher, on Monday morning, April 15, 1912, I received a flash message over the land wires, between the hours of 8 and 11, stating Titanic sunk. A little later, probably 5 or 10 minutes, I received a "kill" on this flash, which read, to the best of my memory: "Kill flash Titanic sunk. Montreal says the wireless operator at Cape Race made a mistake in reading wireless signals."
