Mr. Griffin.

The area you are indicating is an area behind the jail office

Mr. Arnett.

No; it's not behind it.

Mr. Griffin.

Well, here is the jail office [indicating].

Mr. Arnett.

Well, the one I am talking about, here is the ramp, see, and the one I am talking about is like this, doesn't go completely against the ramp. There is room for a man to walk in behind there [indicating].

Mr. Griffin.

Now, other than this northern portion of the basement, did you search any other area with Sergeant Dean?

Mr. Arnett.

No, sir; I stayed right in here. Some more reserves came in [indicating].

Mr. Griffin.

Off the record.
(Discussion off the record.)

Mr. Griffin.

Could you tell me where I was?
( The record was here read by the reporter. )

Mr. Griffin.

After you searched the basement, where did you go ?

Mr. Arnett.

After I searched this portion of the basement [indicating] ?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes.

Mr. Arnett.

I stayed right here. That's where the cars come in and out [indicating].

Mr. Griffin.

Now, would you place an A where you stationed yourself after the search of the basement, and would you put a circle around that; would you write around that, after search of basement [indicating] ?

Mr. Arnett.

[Spelling] B-a-s-p

Mr. Griffin.

[Spelling] B-a-s-e-m-e-n-t. Now, captain, how long did you remain there at that position ?

Mr. Arnett.

Oh, it seems like 10 or 15 minutes.

Mr. Griffin.

And then where did you go?

Mr. Arnett.

J.C. Hunt took my place, another reserve officer.

Mr. Griffin.

Replaced by J. C. Hunt?

Mr. Arnett.

Hunt.

Mr. Griffin.

After about 15 minutes. Now, then where did you

Mr. Arnett.

I had sent some men outside

Mr. Griffin.

No; where did you go?

Mr. Arnett.

I went to different ones that were, you know, around in here, of the reserves [indicating].

Mr. Griffin.

You circulated in the basement ?

Mr. Arnett.

In the basement.

Mr. Griffin.

And did you make assignments ?

Mr. Arnett.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

What assignments did you make?

Mr. Arnett.

I sent Sergeant Cox and Sergeant ...... this little sergeant that I was trying to name while ago--Could I call the man and ask him that boy's name?

Mr. Griffin.

That's not really important.

Mr. Arnett.

It isn't?

Mr. Griffin.

No; did you assign people outside of the building?

Mr. Arnett.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you make assignments to the various intersections?

Mr. Arnett.

To keep people back. They were over here on the Commerce south-side street.

Mr. Griffin.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Arnett.

Keep people back off, on the sidewalk, and not let them on the street [indicating].

Mr. Griffin.

You sent all your men to Commerce ?

Mr. Arnett.

No; not all of them. I sent three men up there at that particular time.

Mr. Griffin.

Where did you send your other men ?

Mr. Arnett.

Well, earlier, before this, I sent one to Commerce and Pearl to work a signal light that had gone out of order.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you ever assign anybody to Main and Pearl ?

Mr. Arnett.

Main and Pearl?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes, sir.
