That "automatic 38" nullifies the testimony.

Myers in "With Malice" quotes Benavides, "I guess [the cops] were going to 
walk off & leave them, not knowing [the shells] were there."  Myers 
himself continues, "There is only one time period Benavides could be 
referring to.  At about 1:36pm, a posse of Dallas police officers left the 
murder scene & drove to the Oak Cliff library...." (pp259, 260)  So, yes, 
according to Benavides & Myers, the former had several minutes to pass 
that information on to officers.  And it had to have been before 1:41, the 
time of the Hill transmission, since Hill got the information from Poe, 
who got it from Benavides.
