(Testimony of G. E. Worley)
Mr. Griffin.
at this point approximately where the sidewalk ends there is a dotted line. Now, that represents where the wall is if you were standing out on the sidewalk and were looking at the building. That is where the wall goes up on the outside, so that actually as you look at the diagram, you ignore the dotted line when you are in the basement, because it extends all the way.
And on the side near Main Street, we .have the same kind of dotted line, and have the black line. It means the same thing.
Now, will you place on the chart an "X" on the spot that you were stationed by Sergeant Croy?
Excuse me; I want to correct the record. You have stated in your letter of November 26 that Captain Arnett placed you at a point in the basement. Can you show us where Captain Arnett placed you?
Mr. Worley.
Right here [indicating].
Mr. Griffin.
All right. Now, would you put a circle around that"'X"?
Mr. Worley.
[Complies.]
Mr. Griffin.
Now, at the time you were placed there, had the search of the basement commenced?
Mr. Worley.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
At the time you were placed there, were any other reserve officers stationed at any other spots in the basement ?
Mr. Worley.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you remain there during the search?
Mr. Worley.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall, and I am only asking for your recollection, and if you don't remember, state that, do you recall seeing anybody come over to this area marked stairs up and do anything there?
Mr. Worley.
There was a telephone man tried to go out that stairway, and I happened to know the telephone man. I don't know what his name is, but he comes to our building frequently and works, is the reason I recognized him. And he tried to get out this door, and he was stopped by a-regular officer and asked for his credentials.
Mr. Griffin.
And then was he allowed to go out that door?
Mr. Worley.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
About what time was that?
Mr. Worley.
About 10 o'clock.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you observe anybody lock that door? I am asking for your recollection?
Mr. Worley.
No; I didn't.
Mr. Griffin.
Let me ask you this: Did you watch the search of the basement?
Mr. Worley.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you watch anybody search over in this area by the elevators and the stairs?
Mr. Worley.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
What did you see them do? Who did you see search over in that area, if you recall?
Mr. Worley.
I don't recall any of the officers names.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you recall his rank?
Mr. Worley.
I am not sure, but I think it was a sergeant, regular officer.
Mr. Griffin.
Was he a regular sergeant?
Mr. Worley.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Was anybody else with him, if you recall?
Mr. Worley.
I don't believe so.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, could you tell us what he did over in that area ?
Mr. Worley.
Well, these elevator doors were closed.
Mr. Griffin.
Yes.
Mr. Worley.
And he checked the door to see if it was locked, and-it was. He couldn't even go out. He couldn't open the door.
Mr. Griffin.
Did he have anybody with him at the time that he checked that door?
Mr. Worley.
No.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, do you have a clear recollection of this?
Mr. Worley.
That is hard to say.
