(Testimony of William J. Harrison)

Mr. Griffin.
building and you step out of there, there is another door right in front of you right under this stairs---
Mr. Harrison.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Isn't there?
Mr. Harrison.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, that door leads down to the subbasement, doesn't it?
Mr. Harrison.
Well, I have never been down that way. I don't know.
Mr. Griffin.
All right. From the assembly room, in the assembly room, where is this cigar dispensing machine?
Mr. Harrison.
They are not in the assembly room.
Mr. Griffin.
Not in the assembly room, in the locker room.
Mr. Harrison.
In the locker room.
Mr. Griffin.
Where is it located?
Mr. Harrison.
I don't know how to describe it to you. The machine is about, I guess, 18 foot from the door--from the stairway.
Mr. Griffin.
At the far south end?
Mr. Harrison.
No; it is kind of west of the stairway.
Mr. Griffin.
West of the stairway, but it is on the south side of the room, it is on the side closest to Commerce Street?
Mr. Harrison.
No; that is where all of the locker rooms are, lockers are.
Mr. Griffin.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Harrison.
Now, there is a door that separates the locker room from the area where the cold drinks and where the---
Mr. Griffin.
All right.
Mr. Harrison.
Where the cold drinks and the cigar machine and the cigarette machines are, there is a door that separates that.
Mr. Griffin.
We are all talking about the same thing here. I am not sure that Mr. MacMaster knows what we are talking about here. Would you draw Main Street or draw Commerce Street up on one end, which is convenient to you, and draw Harwood, and why don't you label them, write "Main," "Commerce," and "Harwood" in the appropriate spots? All right. Where is the doorway that you entered the locker room by, where would that be?
Mr. Harrison.
Well, now, this being the stair down.
Mr. Griffin.
Yes.
Mr. Harrison.
There is no door here.
Mr. Griffin.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Harrison.
There is a wall approximately in this position and there is a double door here.
Mr. Griffin.
All right.
Mr. Harrison.
All right. There is a big post here. It has a telephone on it.
Mr. Griffin.
Yes.
Mr. Harrison.
Cigar machine sits right here beside of this post.
Mr. Griffin.
All right.
Mr. Harrison.
And the Dr. Pepper and coke machines are all up and down this right side.
Mr. Griffin.
All right. What is in this area to the south of the doorway ?
Mr. Harrison.
This?
Mr. Griffin.
Yes.
Mr. Harrison.
Lockers.
Mr. Griffin.
Would you draw that in there, write that in there? Write "Locker Room" or something. Did you have a locker in there?
Mr. Harrison.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Where was your locker located, approximately ?
Mr. Harrison.
Down here, however it hadn't been used in over 2 1/2 or 3 years.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you see anybody down here when you went down there to get the cigars?
Mr. Harrison.
There was no one down there when I went down there.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you have any occasion to go into the locker room ?
Mr. Harrison.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, what did you do after you got the cigars?
Mr. Harrison.
Went back upstairs. '
